Reviewing Monsters - Video Game

One of the longest-running features on this blog is reviewing monsters and only monsters in a video game.

Of particular note are reviews for Elden Ring, Digimon, The Witcher II-III, Final Fantasy VII and XIII, Pikmin, Genshin Impact, and the Legend of Zelda series.

DIGIMON

Digimon World Box ArtThe Digimon are arranged in rough chronological order of their actual debut year, be it in a virtual pet, anime or video game. Unlike Pokemon, Digimon as a franchise is a bit more sporadic and multimedia in how creatures debut creatures. Currently on hiatus as of 2021, and the episodes here are roughly split up based on the accompanying major fiction (i.e. the various anime series) whenever possible.

I utilize primarily Japanese names and terminology (particularly for levels) due to it being the version I grow up with, although I'll sometimes mix up the two and use alternate romanizations. 

As of 2026, older articles are being spruced up for formatting and fixing broken pictures. Those with an asterisk here are being fixed and some entries may move around as I do so. Currently focusing on formatting, at some point I may go back and redo a lot of the intros and non-show Digimon that have since made major appearances.

Index of Digimon if you're searching for a particular one; since Digimon doesn't quite have an easy index/numerical format due to the sheer multimedia nature of the franchise. Some minor standalone Digimon may bounce around and be moved to more appropriate pages as I clean up these articles!

Elden Ring
Arise, ye Tarnished. Elden Ring is the critically acclaimed open-world RPG and spiritual successor to the Dark Souls series, featuring a plethora of monsters in the setting of the Realms Between as demigods and their forces wage war for supremacy... and among them, a lowly Tarnished who brave the unforgiving world to become Elden Lord.

    Resident Evil / Biohazard

    I review all the monsters in Capcom's famous zombie-survival horror-action game series. I talk way too much about the monsters and the creative (and sometimes uncreative) ways that Capcom stretches the definition of 'zombie' and 'bioweapon' in a video game franchise that I didn't care much before but ended up really loving. The series has a lot of side-games and spinoffs (though I'd argue that CODE: Veronica and 0 at the very least count as 'main titles') so for ease of reading, I'll be listing the major numbered entries first, followed by any other game that doesn't follow the numbering system.

    My commentary of monsters in video games made by Nintendo (other than Pokemon). Mostly we'll be talking about the Legend of Zelda series, which is one of the biggest influences in my love for fantasy video games and monsters in general; but I've also reviewed Pikmin. I'll group them here for convenience Click here for Pokemon.

        Hearthstone

        Lore of Hearthstone Series:

        Originally one of the featured segments of this blog, the 'Lore of Hearthstone' series is an exhaustive guide to the lore that the cards are based upon in World of Warcraft and Warcraft games, and at the moment is a crusade to attempt to talk about every single collectible card in existence. 

        To not clog up this blog, most of the old card reviews and top tens have been migrated to hearthstonegallery.blogspot.com for posteriority, with their original release dates when possible... but I am still reasonably attached to the work I put into the Lore of Hearthstone series. So they're still here.

        Other games with monsters that I have reviewed. This mostly includes Blizzard games (Diablo II and Warcraft III) but also a bunch of other outliers or one-off reviews.
