Cooperative video games are always a great time, which is why I love stuff like Overcooked and Moving Out. More often than not, these sorts of puzzle games lead to hilarious hijinks and really put relationships to the test. Sure, I may get a little frustrated from time to time as any human being would, …

Skull and Bones’ Biggest Problem is Ubisoft
Skull and Bones is having a rather lackluster moment in the gaming world right now. In my opinion, as a gamer and as a former game journalist, it’s a decent pirating adventure. It’s current state leans more heavily to players like myself who prefer a player versus environment (PvE) experience than player versus player (PvP). …
Autumn 2023 Mini-Reviews: Sugar Shack & Alan Wake 2
(Shush. I know it is now 2024 and I am just getting around to this in January, but I got distracted, then COVID, and now I am able to focus on catching up.) I tried to keep my gaming focused a little more in September and October. Knowing that a good chunk of my time …
A Quick Review of Everything I Played This Summer (2023 Edition)
Now that everything seems to be working (knocks on all the wood in the house), it’s time to get back to those mini-reviews I like to post. They’re going to be super quick this time. I’m not here to write the longest tl;dr post ever, after all. Here’s a month by month breakdown with a …
Review: Paranormasight’s Twisted Path Leads to Salvation
The first (and only other) J-Horror visual novel I have ever played was Iwaihime. You’d think considering my love of both genres that wouldn’t be the case. Paranormasight now holds the honour of being the second of these in my library and the first one with all endings unlocked. First I’d heard of this one …
February 2023 Mini Reviews: The Long Dark, Surviving Mars, Turnip Boy
February. Shortest month of the year, even in a leap year. That means two to three fewer days of gaming in the month. Most of my gaming this month was spent once more working through my Steam library. Hell, I even only logged into Fallout 76 to grab my free daily items and play the …
January 2023 Mini Reviews: Signals, Shadows Over Loathing
I told myself that in 2023 I would play more from my backlog and finish up some mostly-done games. So far, I have played only new games and events from my staple MMOs. I would like to believe that the new games I played in January were solid experiences. Both Signals and Shadows Over Loathing …
December 2022 Mini Reviews: Nuka-World (Fallout 76), Kingdoms & Castles, West of Loathing
December was a crazy busy month for me, as it generally always is. Holiday baking was mostly thwarted by illnesses in the home that required my attention, so I mostly stuck with games that I could quickly step away from. My ESO New Life Festival runs were kept to just one or two celebrations (just …
November 2022 Mini Reviews: Little Misfortune, Honey I Joined a Cult, Void Terrarium
November 2022 was such a packed month for gamers. You had new releases like God of War Ragnarök (which just won a bunch of awards at The Game Awards), Sonic Frontiers, and Harvestella. Since I was waiting for reviews from my peers to come out and maybe a sale or two, I focused on some …
October 2022 Mini-Reviews: Firewatch, Halloween Events
In addition to October being spooky month, it’s also when the holiday releases really start to ramp up. Since I’m not reviewing games for any sites this year I had a little more time to play through in-progress and backlog games. It also gave me time to see if any of the newer releases that …
