Yours portly has been giving Ponty a bit of ribbing about writing his rebuttal to my Caldecott Award-winning review of Donnie Darko (1999). Please know, dear readers (and dear Ponty) that it’s all a spot of fun; I know Ponty is a busy man.
Indeed, he’s been busy replaying 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima, a samurai action-adventure epic. Just reading through his review, I was blown away by two things: how realistic the trees in the game look (you’ll see what I mean below) and the love and dedication with which Ponty approaches his reviews. Game journalism might be rigged in the mainstream publications, but not here at The Portly Politico. With Ponty’s in-depth analysis, you’re getting the best video game reviewing and analysis of our time.
