The demo for the racing spin-off, Five Laps at Freddy’s, was released as part of the Five Nights at Freddy’s 10-year anniversary back in August of 2024. While I have watched other people play it, I didn’t get around to playing it myself until roughly 1.5 years later because of my recent delve into PC…

Unforgettable: Cogwork Dancers
As I slowly work my way through Hollow Knight: Silksong, I find myself having a love/hate relationship with the game. There are lots of good moments, sure, but there are also plenty of very, very annoying ones that test my patience to the limits. I especially loathe every time I get stuck on yet another…
Light Dude: Demo Review
We were recently contacted by the solo developer of Dergham Games about his upcoming game, Light Dude, a “skill-based action game” where the “level hides when you move”. I recently played the demo for myself, which contains 9 levels and a boss fight. These levels teach you the basics of the game, and the concept…
Ranking the Banjo-Kazooie Mumbo Transformations
After my most recent playthrough of one of my favorite games of all time, Banjo-Kazooie, I thought it would be fun to do a handful of ranking posts. I’ve already ranked all of the game’s 9 delightful worlds, and now I’d like to rank all of the transformations. Although Mumbo’s magic in Banjo-Kazooie isn’t quite…
An Overdue Banjo-Kazooie World Ranking
With my Nintendo 64 currently packed up, I finally decided to give in and purchase that Expansion Pack for Nintendo Switch Online so I could revisit some of my all-time favorite games. We’ve actually discussed the Banjo-Kazooie franchise many times over the years, but I can’t believe I never ranked these sprawling and colorful worlds…
The Duck’s Initial Thoughts on Hollow Knight: Silksong
As usual, I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve finally gotten around to playing the long-awaited Hollow Knight sequel, Silksong. This time, we’re playing as the nimble Hornet in the haunted kingdom of Pharloom. And instead of bugs being infected with a nasty disease, there are bugs being controlled by…some different sort of…
Analyzing the Two Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailers
After the massive success of The Super Mario Brothers Movie from 2023 (because we do NOT talk about the live-action movie from 30 years prior), it was no surprise that they’re making another one. What is surprising, however, is that they’re skipping straight to Super Mario Galaxy, with some elements from other games thrown into…
Bruma: Demo Review
Bruma (Spanish for haze) is a lovely platformer with a unique art style about a cat named Luna who must seek out an old lady’s lost memories. According to the game’s Steam page and Kickstarter, you will explore an abandoned city submerged in a mysterious mist, where you can use traps or stealth to deal…
The Last Cube: Demo Review
The Last Cube is a deceptively simple looking puzzle game where you play as one of the most unassuming characters ever. A cube. Silly though it may feel to play as a basic geometrical shape, this game actually had some decent puzzles that made me think. At the same time, the demo’s 4.5 levels could…
Top 10 Most Aggravating Levels from Donkey Kong Country 3
Being my least favorite Donkey Kong Country game in the original trilogy, I could still admit in my previous list that this game has plenty of fun and memorable levels. It also has plenty of evil ones that I despise to varying degrees of white-hot hatred. Whether it’s dealing with a level that doesn’t even…
