Prime Video – Ricky Stanicky review by Con
Available on Prime Video 7/3/24 (15) 3.5 Stars
Youth #Gottit View:
Will this movie win any Oscars? Absolutely not. Have you seen movies like this in the past? Definitely. But Ricky Stanicky is perfect escapism, with some brilliant comic performances and lots of regular laugh out loud moments. We really enjoyed this movie and could watch it over and over again. It’s sooooooo funny!!!

Vindication Swim review by Con

Youth #Gottit View:
This is such a brilliant story, well told and shot, with some brilliant performances. So pleased we got to see it on the big screen. Some of the magic of the cinematography will be lost on a smaller screen – so go see it at the cinema while you can. Highly Recommended!!!

PlayStation 5 – Helldivers 2 review
Helldivers 2 is the long awaited sequel to a game that was released nine years ago! In this time, the world of Helldivers has been relatively peaceful. Super earth had almost completely defeated the Terminids and as such, the Helldivers had been retired. Although the Terminids managed to begin colonising the planet again, leading to the Helldivers being brought back to fight once again against the Terminids.
This game uses an awesome variety of weapons, as well as a totally unique gunplay style which together provides a really enjoyable gaming experience. When you land on the planet you don’t get overwhelmed by the Terminids instantly, yet they do build up if you don’t kill them quickly, which adds a level of pressure to get the missions.
The stratagems are also a fun tool that can be used to resupply your character, bringing back teammates or gain massively powerful weapons to devastate enemies and your teammates indiscriminately. The graphics in this game also look really good, there’s a clear art style they’re going for, whilst still having it look very realistic. And one of the most important things about this game is its multiplayer aspect, which both works well and fast so you can load up your friends or random players with great convenience. And at a price point of just £35, it’s a great game for a group of friends to buy and play together.
The only problem with the game is sadly quite a prevalent one. The maps all feel really similar, and the missions have very little major differences between them. This means personally I couldn’t really play this game for more than half an hour at a time without the repetition getting to me.
So if you want a new multiplayer game to play with friends, this might be that for you. But without a proper story mode or any real differences, it does become a little repetitive after a while.

Youth #Gottit View:
This is a fun game that’s clearly inspired by the movie ‘Starship Troopers’, with a great multiplayer mode. Alas the story mode does become a little bit repetitive after time. But the Multiplayer mode is awesome!!!
