Music to Level Up Your Day: Dispatch

I don't know much about musical theory, nor am I a musically inclined person. However, I do love to listen to video game soundtracks. They can be a powerful listening experiences in their own right, or be as evocative as the scores composed for film. Each of these posts will feature a sampling of music tracks from a single game title, or series/franchise in some rare cases. A complete list of these can be found on the Video Game Music page.

Composer: Andrew Arcadi

Singer: Deep Dream, Primer, Brea "Bershy" Shay,

Release Date: November 2025

Set in an alternate Los Angeles where superheroes and supervillains are commonplace, society has been divided between the "supers" (those born with powers) and "normies" (those born without). Robert Robertson III is a "normie" who achieved superhero status thanks to a mechanical suit passed down through his family. While hunting his father's killer, Robert is lured into a trap and narrowly escapes with his life. However, the suit is left severely damaged by the attack. Unable to afford the repairs, Robert takes on a dispatcher job at SDN. In exchange for reforming a group of ex-supervillains, the company agrees to rebuild Robert's suit.

"For the first time in a long time it feels like I can see a life without Mecha Man. But I don't think I can sit on the sidelines. I worked hard to be good at being Mecha Man. I don't know that I want to walk away from that." -Robert Robertson III

Fire Emblem Engage Review: Popstars Save The World

Image
I am still very new to Fire Emblem; Three Houses was my first foray into the franchise and initially I wasn't interested in Engage at all. The gameplay in the trailers looked fun, but there didn't seem to be a storyline and the new art style was too ostentatious for my taste. First impressions are often wrong though, and after watching some YouTubers playing Engage, I decided to pick up a copy as an impulse buy. Gameplay: One thing Engage does really well over Three Houses is balancing the various units and encouraging diversity on the team. Armored units have better movement for example, while magic users are good for support. The various infantry units each have unique traits and roles now, such as halbediers having guaranteed follow-ups while heroes give the party damage boosts. The weapon triangle from past titles makes a return: sword > Axe > Lance > sword; Martial arts beats thief, mage, and archer. The triangle further discourages class homogeneity...

Subnautica: Below Zero Review: Keep on Surviving

Image
Story: The Alterra Corporation (a Trans-Goverment) claims Sam Ayou - one of their employees - perished in an accident caused by "human negligence" on planet 4546B. Suspecting that Alterra may be hiding something and wanting to know more about her sister's death, Robin travels to planet 4546B to investigate the accident site herself. Over the course of her investigation Robin gains an unlikely ally and uncovers buried secrets that could impact the fate of a sentient race. Below Zero has two (or three, depending on how lookat it) story-lines going on at once. While the Aurora ship, Degasi wreck, and kharaa bacterium were all connected to how Ryley (Subnauntica protagonist) crash landed on 4546B and his fate afterwards, the individual plot threads of Below Zero are disjointed from each other and in some cases never properly get resolved. Too often Sam's story felt like a side mission rather than the main reason why Robin came to 4546B. The player learns about S...
