00:00 - Intro

04:20 - Part 1 Pro

09:52 - Part 2 Cons

11:00 - Overall

Pro

Visually, it looks good (along with the music)

Gameplay feels like a combination of other games out there, like Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Odyssey (and other 3-D Mario games), Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Red Faction, and so on (in a good way)

Looks like it runs well at 60fps

It does improve on some of the stuff that was in Mario Odyssey

Cons

Camera control can be tricky at times (especially if you are digging through the level)

My take on Tron Ares & Season 1 of Hulu King of the Hill

My Review/Thoughts of Tron Ares & season 1 of Hulu King of the Hill

Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #movie #moviereview #tvshow #tvshowreview #hulu #kingofthehill #tronares #tron 

Note to Parents: Tron Ares is rated PG-13 here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6604188/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Tron Ares cast & crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6604188/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1

Runtime for Tron Ares - 1 Hour & 59 Minutes

Note to Parents: Hulu King of the Hill is rated TV-14 here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118375/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Hulu King of the Hill cast & crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118375/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1

Hulu King of the Hill runtime - Around 22 to 27 minutes

Number of episodes of Hulu King of the Hill - 10

00:00 - Intro

01:14 - Part 1 Tron Ares

04:56 - What I like (Tron Ares)

09:10 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Tron Ares)

11:32 - Overall (Tron Ares)

14:52 - Part 2 Hulu King of The Hill

17:10 - What I like (King of the Hill)

21:54 - What I didn’t like/Mixed/Not Sure

24:54 - Overall (King of The Hill)

What I like (Tron Ares)

I like how Dillinger (From the first Tron movie) plays a more important role this time around.

Nice callback to the original Tron movie

The visuals are excellent, and the soundtrack, featuring Nine Inch Nails, is also good.

The story itself isn’t that bad.  

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Tron Ares)

I’m mixed on how they portray the grid invading our world

Although mentioned, I’m disappointed that characters like Sam Flynn, Quorra, and even Tron are not in this sequel

What I like (King of the Hill)

I like the idea of Hank & Peggy trying to deal with retirement

The idea of Bobby Hill running his own restaurant is interesting (not to mention his relationship with Connie)

Some funny moments (whether it's with Dale Gribble or some odd moment)

I like that we saw 2 of Hank Hill's brothers (Good Hank & Junicho)

What I didn’t like/Mixed/Not Sure

John Redcorn's future is uncertain.  

A little disappointed we didn’t see an episode of Hank getting Bill back into shape after what happened to him in the season 1 revival

Luanne & Lucky’s fate is also unknown (although I’m open to the idea of seeing their daughter grown up a bit like Good Hank)

14:22 - Overall (The Apothecary Diaries)

Andor season 2

What I like 

I like that some of the characters from Rogue One made an appearance (like K-2SO and Orson Krennic)

Episode 8 (Who are you), 9 (Welcome to the Rebellion) & 10 (Make it Stop) are my favorites

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

I didn’t like that we didn’t see much of the fallout of Mon Mothma's family after her speech to the Senate.

I felt like they could have done one more season (aka season 3)

The Apothecary Diaries season 2

What I Like

Some funny moments (like Jinshi dressing up as a moon fairy or episode 9 when he and Maomao fall into a cave where she touches his “ahem” frog)

Interesting twist regarding Shisui being a server girl & a concubine 

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Having to wait for season 3

What I like

Chronoscript: The Endless End looks very interesting 

Nioh 3 is definitely on my radar

Saros looks interesting

Code Vein 2 looks nice 

Crimson Desert looks good (since some of the folks did The Witcher series)  

Closing out the State of Play with finally showing some Wolverine gameplay

What I don’t like/Mixed/Not Sure

Celebrating God of War's 20th Anniversary with a DualSense Controller

It would have been nice to see some AA games from Sony in this State of Play

What I like 

I like the idea that there are different ways to approach the situation

The Gadgets in 007 First Light have more use than in past Bond games

The gunplay looks good

What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure

I do have concerns about the frame rate (especially the Switch 2 version)
