Review of High Score

High Score (2020)
8/10
Leaving side missions aside
30 January 2021
And not just that as I read from another reviewer. Changing the story at times too. Or neglecting to mention certain things and games that happened. Like Wolfenstein instead of Doom. Doom obviously in the long run became more popular, but it feels like an omission not going into details of Wolfenstein. A game that gave me headaches when I first played it.

But that aside (I guess a little bit of research can be done, even if it would have been nicer to have a complete telling here), the docu-series is quite nice to watch. It may not be complete as I said above but it is entertaining to say the least. I'd say you have to have at least a little bit of a gamer heart to like what you see though. Or be interested in it. And while I knew of many things here (still neat to see them put together), I was not aware of the game Night Trap ... and even if I was, the interviews and the infamy this got ... not to mention what it was meant to be and what it became because of studio notes ... that alone was just hillarious. So sit back, put your controller to the side and enjoy
