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 …
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 …
Almost Heaven, West Virginia (Unpopular Thoughts on Fallout 76)
Unpopular opinion: Fallout 76 is a lot of fun and I am enjoying it. If you look around the internet, the game is getting horrible reviews, which in turn leads to people who haven’t even played the game adding more fuel to that fire. Yes, it is an online only game. Many fans of the …
LEGO Dimensions Year 2 Level Packs
With Christmas right around the corner, some of you are probably trying to decide whether or not the LEGO Dimensions Year 2 offerings are worth putting under the tree. I’ll break it down for you, as I cover the new Level Packs for Sonic the Hedgehog, Adventure Time, and Mission: Impossible that were released in Waves 6 & …
World of Final Fantasy
Full disclaimer: After being incredibly disappointed in Final Fantasy XIII I was turned off from the franchise as a whole. I still love and will always love IX which is my all-time favorite, followed by XIII. I thought I might never find myself exploring a new game in the series, and then they showed me a world …
Fallout 4 Nuka World DLC
Fallout 4’s swan song Nuka-World dropped on the evening of August 29th here in North America. I would have dived on in but when I offered to play it for a while on the Loot Crate stream there was an anxious wait. I won’t lie, it was hard. Like, really hard. Me + Bethesda RPGs = <3 You don’t immediately …
Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop DLC
With the Vault-Tec Workshop’s recent release, we’re nearing the end of Fallout 4’s adventure. I knew it wouldn’t last forever, that eventually I would complete absolutely everything there was for me to experience in the Commonwealth. But it’s not time to say goodbye just yet, especially not when I have all sorts of new things I …
Review: Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir
When I found out that there was a remake for Odin Sphere coming out, I was overjoyed. I missed out on the original when it came out in 2007. So when Atlus announced Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, I ran out and plopped down enough to secure myself the Storybook edition. And I am so very glad that I …
Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop DLC
Remember last week when Bethesda announced at their E3 presser that we were getting new Fallout 4 DLC starting this month with the Contraptions Workshop? They showed us elevators and sorting machinery, and I’m pretty sure there was a version of the classic board game Mousetrap shown off in the preview video. They had me at …
