I don’t really like roguelites. At least I always thought. The only one I really tried was the Binding of Isaac. I never progressed far, I never really got the hang of it and had a lot of unsuccessful runs. I finally gave up on it. So I went for years without trying new ones. Until Hades. I played it quite a lot and had a lot...

I watched a YouTube video about this topic today and thought it was the perfect idea for a post here. It’s pretty straightforward, it’s games you played in the past that you’re still stuck thinking about, or games that taught you a lesson that you’ve held on to....

I’m not going to do a detailed write up on this but I’ve always heard that The Force Unleashed was a really good set of Star Wars games that are still worth playing today, if not for the game at least for the story. That wasn’t my experience at all....

Got the games years ago for the GBC, and I’ve always love it. But I always got stuck in a handful of dungeons. Level 3, level 4, level 6, and finally the black tower....

We’ve got two big sales going on, and I’m currently deciding what I would like to pick up. I’m planning to get Expeditions: Rome since it’s 60% off, and I’m trying to decide if I want to finally get Terra Invicta....

I’ve been playing dark souls lately and wanted to see what pegi wrote about it. It’s mildly amusing

I grew up with goldeneye and perfect dark....

I’m born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It’s an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today....

What’s the rush?...

These games are definitely worth picking up especially for $10 for the whole series.

A bit of a weird title, but basically what’s a game that’s more than a year old but still considered “modern” that you love? There’s no real strict definition for modern, I’d just like to see some discussion around great games that aren’t quite classics yet (but probably will be one day)....

I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it....

TL;DR: probably among my favourites in the action-JRPG genre, just for how consistently good everything is. None of the systems in isolation are “the best I’ve ever seen”, but for a 35+ hour game, it’s nice when everything is smooth and enjoyable....

Basically, title

I’ve been passingly interested in the Megami Tensei series for a while....

Summary Time...

Recently I borrowed my partner’s copy of Links Awakening for the Nintendo Switch. I understand that many people did not enjoy the remake due to the graphics but I am one of the weirdos who somewhat enjoys the cutesy round graphics with the intense depth of field / forced perspective look. From a pure graphical standpoint I...

This game was for some time in my watch list, but I have never pulled the plug, and oh boy, was I in for a treat....
