10 Best Underrated Games You Might Have Missed in 2023
3. Goodbye Volcano High. For some people, the end of High School felt like the end of the world. Goodbye Volcano High juxtaposes that feeling with a group of Dinosaurs trying to survive their final year of school while a giant meteor heads toward Earth. You play as Fang, who is stuck navigating the end of school, friendships, dreams, and the world. Playing through Goodbye Volcano High almost feels like watching an afternoon cartoon with its beautiful animations and quirky humor. You will make choices throughout the game that affect your relationships, providing you with scenes that vary depending on how close your group is before the end of it all. The soundtrack is another highlight, full of melancholic tunes that sound like they belong on a Phoebe Bridgers B-Side.

Adding to The Backlog: Christmas Sale Pickups.
This is the time of year I pick up the most titles (which I then work on for the rest of the year.). And why not? Everything is on sale! I actually budget for this time of year.
It’s “Tales From The Backlog” not “We buy nothing until I finish the backlog”. The backlog will never be finished.
So let’s go over what I got! Links for everything will provided. As I find people are more likely to engage if the work was already done for them. Me included. This is not necessarily a suggestion list. If you want to see if any of these games are actually any good follow my blog. But I do think it’s interesting to show people what kind of gamer you are, the games you’re attracted to, their difficulty level.
A gamer’s library says a lot about a gamer, in my opinion.
For Playstation 5:
Goodbye Volcano High:
youtube
TLDR: I put this one first because if you don’t see any of the other games on my pickup list, I AT LEAST want you to consider this one. This was the only Playstation title I picked up on sale (It is also on Steam). This is pre(historic)-apocalyptic coming of age visual novel with killer animation and music. I’m surprised I don’t see folks talk about this one more. It’s maybe the most stunning looking visual novel to come out this year. (At least at a glance)
Which is a hefty claim considering titles like Jack Jeanne and Virche Evermore: Error Salvation dropped this year. I can’t WAIT to play this one.
For Nintendo Switch:
Roots of Pacha:
youtube
I came back around to this one. It looks like Stardew Valley but with cavemen. You don’t see cavemen touched on a lot anymore so it seems different and interesting.
Wylde Flowers:
youtube
This is one see that keeps popping up in conversations and videos as a great cozy game. It’s supposed to be really good. I’m honest enough to admit that it being on the Apple app store as well as Switch makes me REALLY skeptical. But I’ve seen enough gameplay where I’m willing to take a chance.
Coromon:
youtube
I enjoy Pokemon-like titles. I don’t think we get enough of them. I love Pokemon. And you’ll be seeing my update on how I feel about Scarlet/Violet’s last piece of DLC the Indigo Disc here pretty soon.
However Pokemon is so domineering on the market that a lot of these smaller collector games get unnoticed. This seems to be a very unapologetic Pokemon-clone much like Monster Crown. Which is fine by me.
Nexomon + Nexomon: Extinction bundle:
youtube
Another very obvious Pokemon clone. But it’s obviously prettier than its Coromon counterpart. (Kinda wish the names were more unique.) I have nothing new to say here.
Monster Sanctuary:
youtube
Pokemon… but it’s a Metroidvania. $3.99. I swear the theme wasn’t intentional they just all popped up on sale at decent prices.
2021 Moon Escape:
youtube
This is from the same people who did Traumatarium. I did a review on that one a few months back. It’s on sale for $2.49. And this ISN’T my cheapest pickup for this year. The gameplay reminds me of Zelda or Star Tropics. But I don’t know much about it other than what the trailer already shows us. But also it was $2.49. It’s okay with me if it’s just okay. Not all games have to be 10/10.
Mythic Ocean:
youtube
I have a soft spot for ocean games. Even the more spooky ones like Subnautica or Dredge still have this serene element to them. Mythic Ocean is no different. You apparently help a pantheon of gods find themselves. Which in turn those choices shape the world around you. Sounds simple, short, and cute. It looked a bit explorable too? We’ll see. I’m unsure about that part. It’s on sale for $1.99. And this was my cheapest pickup this season.
For Steam:
Sonic Forces: Overclocked (Steam version REQUIRED for this)
I have, in no uncertain terms. Have played this game. I 100%ed it even. I like the game. Played better but I still like it.
HOWEVER. I haven’t played Sonic Forces Overclocked. Which requires the PC version of Sonic Forces!
This is a FAN MADE incredible mod that blows the original game out of the water apparently. This is, perhaps, my most high priority game purchase of the YEAR. And it’s only $10 to buy Forces right now. This is literally a no brainer.
youtube
Slay The Princess:
youtube
I felt like videos on this one sprung up seemingly overnight on Youtube. I watched someone play the demo and it was an awesome looking game. A horror visual novel about saving a princess is a neat little premise. This one was barely on sale, but I see myself playing this one soon because of the hype. The full voice acting is great.
Magical Diary: Wolf Hall
Tumblr media
The original visual novel Magical Diary: Horse Hall was a game a friend showed me back in high school. Pretty innocent and cute. When this dropped in 2020 I was surprised the game got a sequel at all. The thing I remember most about Horse Hall was that there was a route where you could date Professor Snape. That wasn’t his name but… it might as well have been.

2023 in Review: Every Video Game I Completed This Year
You know those Twitter threads where people list off every video game they’ve completed throughout the year? It’s something I’ve always been a bit keen on doing, but I figured summing up each game in a single Tweet wouldn’t do them justice. So, throughout 2023, I decided to keep a record of every game I completed, composing what are essentially mini reviews to try and cover every facet I liked or…

@cerulean-volcano: A certain Typhlosion would find himself sitting at Solaris’ bars counter. Between the summer rush at his shop and taking care of Eva, he was feeling some of the stress of life piling on, enough so that he felt a need for a drink. Though this was half the reason he was here, the other half was to check in on Solaris. Work and life had kept the two separated for a bit and he wanted to make sure the Charizard was doing alright. Which is why Karie tried to shoot for a time window where the bar would be rather light on patrons when he came in.
Solaris would look at the door when Karie entered. The Charizard would look away, his face turning a shade of red. He had some thoughts the past few days, feelings that came to the surface that he didn't know were real or not. Seeing the Typhlosion made Solaris' heart race, and when he approached the bar Solaris tried to play it cool.
"Uh... H-Hey Karie. What's up?" Solaris asked, his voice cracking and his cheeks remaining a rosy red.

I just want to pull from this great post this quote out from Chris Dummett, former member of Ibex/Wreckage, on a moment in early Queen history where Freddie wondered about bringing another guitarist in
“Brian was kind of limp and Freddie missed getting a reaction.”
Well that changed…
Tumblr media
Also early Queen: Roger and Brian thinking Freddie needed to refine his voice (‘he sounded like a dead sheep’)… Freddie thinking he needed another guitarist to liven things up … these boys … they were working through the process of what was available to them as ‘starter bands’ arising out of friendship groups and semi-professional bands and what their vision was of the perfect band through to ‘we *are* the perfect band, this is us, we can achieve greatness’

There are others that I'm considering, plus some unreleased projects I'm keeping an eye on, but these are the main ones. As always, feel free to send in suggestions, or let me know which of these you'd be most excited for!

Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog-Prehistoric Sonic (Screenshots & Review)
And now it's time for the finale!
Sonic and Tails are at the beach again, and it seems that Sonic has finally hit it off with some ladies, as a group of literal beach bunnies are playing volleyball - with Sonic as the ball! Professor Caninestein hurried onto the scene to tell Sonic that he's found out where the final emerald is - in the prehistoric times.
Tumblr media
Tails is not impressed....
Tumblr media
Professor Caninestein frolics onto the scene!
When our heroes catch up with the baddies in the prehistoric time period, the baddies have already managed to piss off some sort of local "teddy bear" tribe, and are making their way up a volcano because the Chaos Emerald of Life is located near its mouth. As they arrive, they meet a volcano god, who won't let Robotnik have the emerald unless he sacrifices "something of great value", so of course he decides to toss poor Scratch and Grounder in, being the jerk that he is. Robotnik is then granted the Emerald and we finally get some context as to what the Chaos Emerald of Life actually does - whomever yields it has the power to transform inanimate objects into living beings, and said beings seem to be automatically obedient to whomever brings them life, as well. Just as Sonic and Tails catch up with him, he demonstrates by creating some lava monsters, and thankfully, lava in this show doesn't function at all like it does in our world, seeming to be completely harmless to touch or be around.
Tumblr media
Grounder hugs the teddy cave-bear king...but he doesn't appear to be into it. No hugs without consent, Grounder!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nonetheless, the lava monsters are able to incapacitate Sonic and Tails long enough for Robotnik to escape with the emerald as well as scratch and Grounder, whom were thankfully unharmed by the weak-ass "lava". What follows next is a chase sequence through time where Robotnik is jumping quickly to each point that he had previously acquired the emeralds, using his newfound knowledge of the people and places he'd previously visited to quickly adapt to the problems he'd faced before and escape with each emerald. When they revisit the Mobegyptian tomb, Sonic just up and murders Robotnikhotep - which, while dark, is more an assisted suicide considering what he did in his own episode. This ends in managing to trap Sonic inside a fake treasure chest where the Emerald of Invisibility was - the chest turning out to actually be a Crabmeat robot! In another uncomfortably sexist/hetereonormative scene, Tails tricks the Crabmeat into flirting with a girl crab which distracts it long enough for Sonic to escape, and then the girl crab chases him with…a rolling pin. Get it? Because she's a woman? oh, 90s cartoons…stay classy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now that Robotnik has all 4 Emeralds, he attaches them all to a single necklace and holy shit - he turns into a fucking beefcake giant! He didn't mention THAT would happen in the beginning of this mini-series! When Sonic and Tails arrive in the present, Robotnik sends them all the way back to the big bang (which, if I saw this one as a kid, probably made me mad, because I was a little christian asshole). I found it cute that the big bang was represented by a giant stick of dynamite with a lit fuse. Thankfully, Sonic and Tails escape before the Big bang actually occurs, and are inspired to try going back to recruiting themselves from the times they previously visited. "We've got a date with ourselves!" as Sonic puts it. Gathering a small army of blue pincushions and fuzzball foxes, our heroes are all able to wear the big bad Robotnik down, snatch the emeralds and save the day. The other instances of Sonic and Tails return the emeralds to their original time periods, then destroy the time machine. Timey-wimey stuff is always weird with things like this - do the other instances of them just stay in different time periods? do they all stay in the same ones? do they have to live their lives in hiding so as to not cause time anomalies? It's a good thing the Twilight Sparkle from the badly written MLP show isn't around, because we've seen that her solution to multiple anomalous instances of the same individual is to just fuckin' murder them!
Tumblr media
"We've got a date with ourselves!"
In the Sonic says segment, Tails seems to be showing some of that technical genius as he is working on the time hoverboard he and Sonic got from professor Caninestein - but he's apparently not quite there yet, being a 4 year old and all. Sonic warns him that it's very dangerous to try to perform modifications to electronic devices, and that a professional should take care of that for him. Robotnik shows up to conveniently demonstrate, stealing the hover board and getting himself electrocuted!
This was a fun little conclusion to this fun little mini series. A segment of this episode is dedicated to just quickly revisited past scenes from the other episodes, but they're still entertaining enough. Scratch and Grounder are pretty cute in the prehistoric setting, and the big fight with giant uber-buff Robotnik was neat, too. Next time, we'll be returning to episodes that I presume will be one-off stories again - but hopefully still just as fun. Til next time, be safe and be cool, folks!

Not me casually going back into the Pinball Cave because the alternative is letting Sonic just idle out in the rain while I cool off from several failed attempts at the Pinball Cave. He’s already having a bad day, due to the Corruption Symptoms.

Last night I had a dream which was kinda rambly, which possibly had something to do with the fact that I slept for 13 hours (@thebardsrc: "That's a bit!" me: "Sleeping for like 13 hours, as a bit."). Anyway, here's the stuff I remember:
A volcano was erupting. Some camera drones were flying up to it, just to keep track of everything and document it and stuff, and kept getting destroyed. There might have been a Futurama "To shreds, you say" bit.
A Sonic the Hedgehog RP which I was doing in create.swf apparently. At first I was typing stuff into speech balloons as if they were whole paragraphs from a purely text-based thing (that is, a speech balloon pointed at Sonic which said: '"Yeah," says Sonic, "but I think we"' etc.), but then dreaming-me remembered that these were in fact speech balloons and I could just put dialogue and specify actions by moving my character around.
Jonathan Harker was ... somewhere. Could've been either of the above.
