What lies in the multiverse, Who’s Lila?, Tunic, and A memoir blue. 2022 has been a weak year for gaming thus far for me. I am not a FromSoftware guy and don’t really feel the urge to try any of their new games, but Elden Ring may be my first simply because there’s seemingly nothing […]

Gaming round-up for March 26th
Bite-sized reviews/impressions for Chorus, Exo One, Severed Steel, and Shadow Warrior 3. I’ve played quite a few games since the last article focusing on games and I have some thoughts on a variety of titles I’d like to share. I’ll start with Chorus, developed by Fishlabs and published by Deep Silver. For a studio like […]
Guardians of the Galaxy game review
When I first saw the reveal trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy (GOTG for short), my immediate reaction was trying to skip the segment but forgetting it was a live show and begrudgingly sitting through it. Then, the game came out and it was a resounding success with critics and fans alike; so, I stopped […]
I’m always on the lookout for good roguelikes, so a recent one I got into is The Last Stand: Aftermath, which is a zombie roguelike that mostly does what you’d expect (but really well) and has a few neat tricks up its sleeve. Beyond some excellent gameplay and a really addictive game loop, what kept […]
Contrast (2013) and Compulsion
Compulsion Games remain the most interesting purchase Microsoft has made since it has gone on a purchasing spree to fix its problems with delivering first-party experiences for the Xbox ecosystem; I understand why Ninja Theory was bought; ZeniMax and Activision-Blizzard don’t need any explanation even if the cost to buy them made me question humanity; […]
Drinkbox studios claim to fame is the excellent Metroidvania franchise Guacamelee! that consists of two games I really like yet I never finished. I really enjoyed them and found them to be great, but then something distracted me, and never thought about them again; I have great respect for them and are some of the […]
While I slowly get through my “list of shame” from 2021 games I have yet to play (and finishing up with Nobody Saves the World ), I thought I’d talk about one of those games that I’m still in the process of getting through, but is very long and best served in small daily doses. […]
A race to the horizon
Forza Horizon 5 Vs Forza Horizon 4 The Forza Horizon franchise quickly and efficiently carved out its own space that no other game or franchise has been able to compete on. Using the foundation of the Forza Motorsport series – drivatars, physics, handling systems, etc. – Horizon added a lighter tone, open-world activities, and casual […]
Also, ongoing experience of the year. Ongoing experiences of 2021: I suck at coming up with titles. “Ongoing experiences” might be my worst title yet because of how deceptive it is; it does perfectly capture how I interact with these games, though. Most will think that I’m talking about “live-service” games, but these games are […]
2021’s 2020 game of the year, best of the rest. 2021’s 2020 game of the year: I have many hobbies and, as is true for everyone, limited time. So, I always have stuff that I want to play or experience from years past and 2020 was no different. These are the games I played in […]
