I was about 12 missions into EDF6 when my understanding of what I was playing completely changed. I tend to go into games I’m reviewing blind; I want my eyes fresh and my mind open. Show me a trailer or two, and I’m good. I’ve played Earth Defense Force games before, so I knew the score: giant insects (shout-outs to EDF 2025), alien frogs, unmatched scale, and absurd dialogue. I was expecting a camp masterpiece. I was not expecting that. As I sat down to write this review, I debated how much I should say about EDF6’s story, but with an opening like this, I suppose I have to say something. If you’d like to go in blind (and I heavily recommend that you do), skip the next two paragraphs.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food.
