Fall of Porcupine follows the story of a new doctor named Finley at the underfunded St. Ursula’s Hospital in the small town of Porcupine, inhabited only by anthropomorphic animals. The demo took me about 1.5 hours to complete, and in that time, I mainly focused on treating three patients, hanging out with fellow coworkers Karl…

I like to work on art and writing and was inspired by video games and movies and other such things. I love when I find creative stories and characters, and I try to make my own. So far, I've been unsuccessful, but I'm trying.
Two Point Campus: A Great, But Unstable, Sim for Newcomers
I’ve never really been big into simulation games. My only two experiences happened many years ago when I was in school, and neither went well. I once played a game where you ran your own zoo, except instead of normal animals like zebras and lions, you kept dinosaurs. Being in elementary school and not yet…
Tandem: A Tale of Shadows: Demo Review
Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is a surreal puzzle-platformer whose concept would have been more interesting if I hadn’t already seen it before. You switch between two characters, a girl named Emma and a teddy bear named Fenton, who are looking for the missing Thomas Kane, the son of a famous magician. Viewing her from…
Unravel: A Unique and Heartfelt Trip Down Memory Lane
Unravel is a puzzle-platformer where you play as a little creature named Yarny who can use his yarn to traverse beautiful, photo-realistic environments as we explore an old lady’s memories. The whole mechanics of the game are extremely unique, with Yarny being able to make rope bridges and trampolines and lasso his yarn onto objects…
Gravity Rush Makes Me Feel Like a Gravity-Defying Superhero
I’ve played plenty of games where your main character can fly or glide to a limited degree. I had often thought that it would be pretty cool to play a game where you can fly to your heart’s content. And that game, dear readers, is Gravity Rush, where you play as a girl named Kat…
Kao the Kangaroo: A Fun, But Unpolished, Adventure
Kao the Kangaroo from 2022 is the reboot to a series that began in 2000, with the original starring a kangaroo whose family is captured by hunters. I know absolutely nothing about these games (save for what I just looked up on Wikipedia), but I was drawn to the newest entry because I’m always interested…
Lila’s Sky Ark: Demo Review
Lila’s Sky Ark is an open-world game (with exploration similar to old-school Zelda games) with simple, but vibrant pixel graphics where you’re tasked with saving Lila’s “psychedelic” world from the Conductor’s minions. During my roughly 40 minutes with the demo, I met some quirky characters, like Lila’s robot dad, Doctor Father Sir, a pessimistic monkey,…
The Duck’s Most Anticipated Games of 2024
Now that 2023 is over, we have another year’s worth of games to look forward to. To be honest, I don’t have a whole lot of games I’m particularly excited about, but of the few on my list, at least there’s some nice variety, including a remake of one of my favorite RPGs, a relaxing…
The Duck’s 2023 GOTY: Pikmin 4
Back in 2023, the Duck only played two games that were actually released in that year. Fortunately, they were both very good games, meaning I’m not going to have to compromise when it comes to my game of the year. My two options between which I needed to deliberate was The Legend of Zelda: Tears…
Listmas 2023: (Mostly) Relaxing Games for Nature Lovers
Sometimes, I just want to play something relaxing. And one thing I find especially relaxing is nature. With its soft, green grass. The murmur of running water. The fresh air and the cool breeze. And all the little critters that accompany it. And that is why I’ve decided for our Wildcard Week to list a…
