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…

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.
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…
Listmas 2023: Beautiful Games That Will Save on Wrapping Paper
Wrapping paper is not usually sufficient to hide the presence of a video game. We all know the relative shape and size, so it’s really just to hide its specific identity. But there are some games that are just too beautiful to be covered up by some brightly colored, winter-themed paper. For these games, you…
Listmas 2023: Unique Gifts for Undertale Fans
Like a lot of people, I love collecting cool merch for my favorite games. At first, I really only bought the occasional plush or Funko. When I first really got into collecting game merch, however, was when I happened upon a cool site called Fangamer while on the hunt for a physical copy of Undertale. …
Listmas 2023: Games for Mythology Fans
Mythology was always one of the most interesting topics I got to learn about in high school and college. It was on these occasions that school didn’t feel like a chore, and these were the few lessons that stuck in my head even into adulthood. Important dates and events in American history? Nope, I forgot…
Three Siblings Unite in Greak: Memories of Azur
Greak: Memories of Azur tells the story of three Courine siblings who are split up and must reunite after their land has been ravaged by the Urlag invasion. This 2D Metroidvania-style game features hand-drawn environments, an epic soundtrack with some strong fantasy vibes, and three playable characters, the youngest sibling, Greak, the middle sibling and…
The FNAF: Help Wanted 2 Gameplay Trailer is Here!
This has been a rather exciting year for FNAF fans. Not only did we get some awesome new DLC for Security Breach AND the long-anticipated FNAF movie, but we also have a brand new game to look forward to, Help Wanted 2. Like the previous VR game, this game contains various minigames, with the categories…
Fractured Minds: Short, but Deep
Fractured Minds is a short (as in 20-30 minutes long) game exploring life with mental illness. Impressively enough, the game was developed by one person, Emily Mitchell, who was just 17 at the time and was inspired by her own struggle with anxiety. The game is divided into six chapters, each of which involve simple…
Iron Lung: Exploring an Ocean of Blood in a Rusty Submarine
Seeing as I tend to avoid horror games that feature lots of gore and ghosts and the like, I’ve discovered that many of the remaining spooky options available to me prey on my thalassophobia AKA the fear of the ocean. One of the worst things about the ocean is its sheer size, meaning just about…
VIRTUAL BASTION
