Destiny 2 First Expansion Pass - The Curse of Osiris & The Warmind DLC

I do like to wait until I feel I know or have experienced it enough to talk about it The it being the first Expansion Pass for Destiny 2, But here’s my catch twenty two I can ramble about how endlessly about how I think the first expansion pass just isn’t worth it cost wise until I am blue in the face; unless you snagged it off the Humble Bundle sales recently, simply because my friends and I…

The Yuzu Emulator, Nintendo, and Psychological Reactance

Nintendo, a company that has taken pride in shaping the gaming industry, has faced its fair share of ups and downs in the last several years, such as the death of Satoru Iwata nine years ago in 2015 that led to Tatsumi Kimishima before ultimately retiring from Nintendo and letting Shuntaro Furukawa take over, as covered by Crecente (2018), and the lawsuit between Gary Bowser, and the development…

Eternights | A VISUAL MASTERPIECE OF STORYTELLING

Eternights is a narrative-focused hack'n'slash role-playing game that takes numerous cues from visual novel storytelling while building off of and improving upon RPG-focused design elements to create something new and not seen before. #gamereview #gamedesign #Eternights #visualnovel #RPG

Being a game designer and a reviewer has given me an opportunity afforded only to a select few, and that is, I got to witness firsthand Eternight’s progression as the developer continued to post live updates as he worked tirelessly on his passion project. I knew from the moment he started working on it that Eternights the game was going to be unique because the developer, Jae Hyun Yoo, blended so…

Lord of the Rings: Gollum | DOES NOT HAVE THE PRECIOUS!

Lord of the Rings: Gollum isn't great, but it's also not bad. #GameReview #Video Games #GameDesign #Gaming #Gamers #Games

Before I talk about Lord of the Rings: Gollum, I need to approach this tactfully, as not many people are aware; there are certain truths when; it comes to reviewing a game. The first is typical; larger media groups such as IGN, Kotaku, and Gamespot get copies first. Some outlets even get paid, others like ourselves typically are approached and given a copy to review, or we request a copy of a…

Then I have to say without a shadow of a doubt; Sunday Gold is the game for you. The game is unique not only in its creative art direction but with how it utilizes the familiar mechanics that we have…

Strayed Lights | IT DREAMT OF GREATNESS, BUT FELL SHORT

Strayed Lights is a game that I feel had big ambitions. But no way to achieve them, with a world built for exploration, with enemies placed scarcely around. It felt a bit devoid of life. But the combat was great! #GameReview #StrayedLights #IndieGames

I have gotten a chance to play Strayed Lights, and I have a few things to say, some; of it good, some of it bad, and truthfully it is not a bad game.    Strayed Lights is a game that I can enjoy, but it is not a game; that gets me excited as I was hoping it would.    Now, Strayed Lights is an Action RPG with minimal story-telling, and I stress the minimal story-telling aspect as the story; is…

Destiny 2: Lightfall | THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE MACGUFFIN!

Here is my our full comprehensive breakdown of #Destiny2Lightfall SPOILERS AHEAD

It has been a while since Destiny 2: Witch Queen launched, and we are finally nearing the end of Destiny’s Light and Darkness storyline with Destiny 2: Lightfall. However, I cannot help but feel that Destiny 2: Lightfall; is one of the weakest, if; not the weakest, storyline. That Bungie has released in the last several years. But before I get into its narrative problems. I want to break down all…

Scathe | AND GOD SENT HIS SOLDIER TO KILL HIS BROTHER

#Scathe is a fast-paced, action-packed shooter that falls into the same genre as DOOM 2016, but its terrible writing and lackluster soundtrack, make it difficult to enjoy.

If; you are around my age. Then you probably grew up with a little game called DOOM, and even if you are not around, my age. Then you probably have at least seen or heard of DOOM. Well, Scathe; is just like DOOM, except with a few interesting twists that make it a bit more unique. This is Scathe, God’s holy warrior- Scathe starts out not as some soldier or even an individual released from a stone…

Frozen Flame | ADVENTURE AND FLOATING ISLANDS!

#FrozenFlame is a game that captures the essence of adventuring and exploring. However, the fun is ruined; by its terrible crafting system.

Where do I begin with Frozen Flame? Should I talk about how the game is an action-adventure game with floating islands, crafting, and a story-driven storyline? Maybe I could talk about how its visuals are reminiscent of Fortnite. I guess; I should start at the beginning. Frozen Flame; is a fantastic game, and I love it! Adventure games, for me, are my bread and butter. The feeling you get from…

Potion Craft | THERE ARE NO MAKE BEER OPTIONS?!

If want you to feel like #EliasAinsworth then you should check out #PotionCraft and start making your own potions also!

In Potion Craft, you are tasked; with opening your own Apothecary. You have just moved into a new town and found an abandoned old house. This…

Expedition Zero | IT'S GOT THE PLAGUE!

There is horror survival, and then there is #ExpeditionZero! What do you fight in Expedition Zero? The plague!

We have fought zombies, aliens, giant mushroom-infested controlled nightmares, and even overly religious zealots cults but now prepare yourself as now; you are fighting the plague in Expedition Zero. Now it is not the scariest survival horror game; I have played, but it is definitely in the running for one of the most difficult; survival horror games. In Expedition Zero, you awaken in your cabin…

KILL IT WITH FIRE! | Spider Hunting WITH FIRE!

It's a shorter review than normal, but I enjoyed #KILLITWITHFIRE I should really consider getting my sister this as she suffers from arachnophobia.

Do you have arachnophobia? Then do I have the cure for you! I’m kidding, of course. I don’t think Kill it with Fire will cure your arachnophobia, but you can kill spiders hiding all around a house where you can’t find them! If anything, that will make you feel better! I’ve been playing Kill it with Fire. And I must say it is by far one of the most absurd games I’ve played to date. The game…

Lost Brothers | There isn't a Happy Ending.

Despite the 23 negative reviews. I found Lost Brothers quite enjoyable albeit I don't think it's worth the $8.99 price point. It's worth checking out next time it's on sale on steam! #LostBrothers #GameReview

Lost Brothers is a short narrative game that you can complete in under two hours, and it’s a fairly decent game overall. It breaks from the norms of games having a happy ending which is a bit of a spoiler. In Lost Brothers, you go camping with your younger brother Sam who ends up missing then it flashes forwards to ten years into the future. And you’re camping by yourself, remembering the good…
