Finding what shines in games!

Screw it, we’re taking a detour to Roguelikeville this week. Because it’s easy. And by easy I mean checking in on an early access game I talked about nearly two years ago because it was finally fully released last week. For those who are not in the know,

This will be another one of those “going outside of my wheelhouse” posts. I don’t normally talk about puzzle games not named Tetris or Portal for one simple reason: they make me feel like a massive dipshit. Nine times out of ten, either the answer is right in front

Lying is an interesting thing. Because it means to tell either a small white lie to protect someone’s feelings or a big foundational lie that changes the nature of how you look at someone or something, it’s also within human nature to emulate and adapt stories. To do

Editor's Note: Just wanted to offer a quick apology for not posting anything here for a month. Family stuff came up and that took priority. Now for the regularly scheduled posting. This differs from what I usually talk about here on the site. Primarily because it’s more of a

Man, the schedule decided to lighten up for July. In all seriousness, the fact that the month looks pretty light from a release point of view has been a blessing in disguise. This gives me more time to get to stuff in the backlog like God of War Ragnarok (which
What's Good About
As Andy Williams said in his seminal Christmas Hype Anthem. “It's the most wonderful time of the year!” And by that, I don’t mean the release of a new mainline Final Fantasy game or the most significant lore drop in Destiny’s history as a franchise, although those are
What's Good About
Slayers X: Terminal Aftermanth: Vengance of the Slayer. That feels like a mouthful. I’m gonna call it Slayers X moving forward because that’s literally what it's called on Steam and I don’t want to get winded. Anyways. Slayers X is a Boomer Shooter by Big Z Studios
What's Good About
This one’s been a long time coming. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is the most recent game in the now 22-year-old series (dear god I feel old now) and was one of the most recent additions to the PlayStation game collection thing that’s kind of like Game Pass
What's Good About
Star Wars, from a video game point of view, has had it pretty good in the last few years. Between Battlefront 2 getting fixed and being a pretty good multiplayer game that serves as a celebration of Star Wars in its entirety, Squadrons being a great Space Combat game, The

Let me paint a scene for you. I’m going through a burning city with my party consisting of a Highwayman who was tougher than iron at the expense of being a pacifist, a military commander who could bolster his allies and crush his enemies if his bum leg allowed
What's Good About
Playing and futzing with 3DS stuff recently has been the significant mood my brother and I have been in for the last month. And this has inspired him to get further and further down the rabbit hole of retro-themed handheld streaming devices. I bring this up because the main thing

So by the time you’re reading this, it’s most likely Easter, a time of Easter egg hunting and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This dovetails nicely into today's piece on Returnal, a roguelike that’s centred around a time loop where you die and comes back to life
What's Good About
Resident Evil 4 is my favourite Resident Evil game. If you’ve followed my work over the last few years, you’d no doubt be aware of that. Between the perfect gameplay loop, the absurd goofiness and phenomenal pacing; Resident Evil 4 is the perfect encapsulation of the “video game

We’re now three for three in Destiny posts and this is where it all leads to STRAND. This is the last part of the Lightfall expansion I wanted to talk about in-depth because I couldn’t fit it into the main post. But let’s get it started. Strand

The new Destiny 2 expansion, Lightfall is out now. Aside from feeling like my life has a purpose again, I’m taking a different approach to my writing on Destiny. For the next few weeks, I’m gonna be talking about the campaign, the new season and Strand in separate

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, folks. It’s the week before a Destiny expansion’s launch and the excitement is palpable. At least in my neck of the woods. Year 5 was kind of a big year for Destiny 2. We finally came fully face to
