(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 …
September 2022 Mini Reviews: Stacklands, Soul Hackers 2, Fallout 76 The Pitt
September 2022 has always been a relatively busy month for me. Over the past five years that was due to all the review coverage I was working on for PSLS and Siliconera. This time of year is when every studio starts dropping releases to hit that sweet, sweet holiday rush. Between Soul Hackers 2, The …
August 2022 Mini Reviews: Cult of the Lamb, Core Keeper, Graveyard Keeper
August was a relatively slower month for my gaming habit. I took advantage of this time to really learn Tales of Tribute in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online), and planned on really digging into my backlog. Unfortunately, I only tackled one game from my digital pile but one is better than none. Here’s a quick look …
Review: Bear and Breakfast Restores Balance
Two things you can put in your game that will sucker me into buying it: animal characters and building elements. Which is why the instant I first saw Bear and Breakfast (which was either during the Wholesome Games or Day of the Devs 2022 stream) I knew it was a day one purchase. I played …
