While my perfect vacation would normally be spent playing video games at home, many people say I need to get out of the house more. Well, I’d be more than happy to set foot in the great outdoors if I could visit some of the locations from my favorite video games. And so, to appease…

Listmas 2022: The Duck’s Remake Wish List
It should be no surprise that I’ve accumulated quite a selection of games over the years, many of which I received as Christmas presents. Of course, new games are usually my top priority, but if only I could revisit some of my most cherished, existing games in a remastered format. Whether or not my wish…
Listmas 2022: The Duck’s Coziest Fireplaces
There are few things more relaxing than curling up under a warm blanket by the dancing glow of a fireplace, hot cocoa in hand, while snow piles up outside. And of course, my favorite thing to do while relaxing in such a fashion is to play video games. But if I could be transported to…
Summer in Mara: Demo Review
In recent years, I’ve been finding myself increasingly interested in playing relaxing games, so when I downloaded the demo for Summer in Mara, I was quite curious to see if this was the next casual game to add to my library. This game seems like it could be a bit like Harvest Moon meets Animal…
Transistor: Freezing Time in the Virtual City of Cloudbank
Having finally played the critically acclaimed Bastion, I decided it was finally time to check out another one of Supergiant’s games, Transistor.

Miitopia is Way Better Than It Has Any Right to Be
When I initially saw a partial playthrough of the original 3DS release of Miitopia on YouTube, my expectations were low. You see, I’ve never been a big fan of Mii’s. For me, these simple, customizable characters were just not very appealing, and so I expected Miitopia to be a shallow and dull experience. I was…
Silt is a Delightfully Unsettling Experience
I’m always on the hunt for horror games that aren’t filled with gore and ghouls. One such game is Silt, where you play as a mysterious scuba diver with the power to possess other creatures. The game is more eerie than outright scary, making for an experience that is both unsettling and relaxing.
Bringing Peace to Miitopia Once and For All
I’ve finally done it, dear readers! I have finally completed my grand adventure in Miitopia, at long last! The Darker Lord has been defeated, and I’ve thoroughly explored the generous post-game as thoroughly as I care to. I’ll be writing a full review eventually, but for now, this post shall offer a recap of the…
Spooptober: Madame Clairvoya
One of the best games to really embrace the spoopy theme is Luigi’s Mansion, that fun little romp where Luigi must capture ghosts by sucking them up in a vacuum. While the game features all sorts of silly, smiling ghouls, that doesn’t change the fact that these ghosts are still eager to give poor Luigi…
Spooptober: The Amalgamates
Undertale is an odd mixture of quirky humor and downright dark and unsettling moments. Easily the creepiest location in the game is the True Lab, where the topic of today’s post resides. But first, I must warn you that spoilers for the True Pacifist Route are beyond this point.
