Kicking all modern big budget gaming trends, Saros is everything I was hoping it would be!

TES IV: Oblivion — Guess Who’s Back…Back Again…
I will readily admit that I am an imperfect human being. I sometimes choose form over function, I tend to bite off more than I can chew, and I’m terribly prone to distraction. While these (and many other flaws) do manifest in real life, they are more than painfully obvious in my video game life,…
Why Did I Stop Playing This?
Earlier this week, I found myself performing a sort of ritual, one that I’m sure every gamer out there is very familiar with: scrounging through your backlog looking for the next game you wanna play. It’s almost like clockwork; finish one big game, pick around at your casual games for a bit, then go looking…
Legacy Games are Something Else
Recently, I found myself having a string of very similar conversations, and they focus around the same argument: “You really like X, so why won’t you play Y? It’s like X but newer with so many more features and better graphics.” I understand the point, but, see, the arguments are about games like Animal Crossing….
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…
What Happened to the “Everyone” Game?
I was tempted to open this by saying that “touchstone” games had become a thing of the past. This, of course, isn’t true. In just the past couple of years, we’ve seen the releases like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Helldivers 2 just to name a few. All of these were big…
Do You Really Have to Oxygenate the Water in Jolly Roger’s Lagoon?
I’ve played Banjo-Tooie countless times over the years. And so it’s hard to make one of my favorite games of all time feel fresh. Partly, this is because I tend to do the same thing every single time. For example, I always head left upon entering Terrydactyland and climb the vine behind the waterfall. This…
Reminiscing Over the Duck’s 2025 Year in Gaming
Every January, we each pick our choice for Game of the Year and discuss what exactly made it stand out above the rest. But this is the very first year since the tradition began that I, well…I didn’t play any new games. Sure, I did play a lot of games. Just none that were released…
What Will Gaming Look Like Ten Years From Now?
As I look around at video games and what’s being made and foor whom, I find myself wondering where this hobby is going. In some ways, video games haven’t really changed. There’s still big blockbuster releases and still big companies trying to attract the widest possible audience while also making as much money as possible….
I Want to See More Games Like Tormented Souls II!
A couple of years ago, I had the chance to play an indie horror game called Tormented Souls. I’d never heard of it before, and only picked it up on a friend’s recommendation, but I’m so glad I did because it turned out to be one of the best games I’d play that year. Last…
