I love Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. It’s a fantastic 3D action platformer, originally released in 2001 for the Sony Playstation 2. This video game holds up really, really well. Buuuut...why does it have to get so frustrating in the final level. The amazing platforming suddenly gets irresponsibly confusing at the final level.

The credits are rolling on Bendy and the Ink Machine, and I’m here to answer the question you all surely have. Is Bendy a good name? Yes, it’s a great name. The implied movement afforded by the trailing y creates an adjective noun that reflects perfectly the rubber hose animation style from which the character Bendy pulls inspiration. Oh, what, you said game? Is it a good game? Well, sure. The cartridge is the perfect size for the Nintendo Switch game slot, so how much better can the game be, right? Oh, is Bendy and the Ink Machine a fun gaming experience...Hmmm, there’s no way I can intentionally mis-hear that one, is there? The short answer: no. Bendy and the Ink Machine is a broken mess of a game that somehow manages to be bad at every point in which most games would at least try to be good. Except one area, Bendy does do good in one area. I’ll mention that at the end of this video, but otherwise the game sucks.
