No Door is Safe from Me in Hogwarts Legacy

In recent months, I’ve been slowly working my way through Hogwarts Legacy.  I got the game on sale on the Switch because, ironically enough, it has more hard drive space left than my PS4 does (taking into consideration the fact that Switch games tend to have far smaller file sizes).  Ever since my parents bought…

Finding the Fun Again in Skyrim

Ever since Skyrim released back in 2011 and the craze so many of us fell into during the following year or so, I’ve found myself trying to go back every so often to try and recap- ture some of that initial magic. This has, at least for me, proven largely impossible. When the sense of…

Struggling Through the Dead Cells Game Trial

Nintendo Switch Online users were granted a free game trial of Dead Cells at the end of January, a game I had on my wishlist, but had never really looked into very much.  You see, I had heard good things about it and wanted to place it in my list to remember for later, but…

Going Even Further Beyond: Seeking Mastery in Games

Since sometime in the fall of last year, I’ve been playing Balatro fairly regularly. When I first started it, I thought I’d only be sticking around until I’d gotten a few wins on the highest difficulty. Yet, here I am still playing months later. It turns out that just squeaking out a few wins isn’t…

I’m (Probably) Not Ready for Slay The Princess

This is kind of an odd moment for me, as I’ve never really been one to start talking about a game when I’m not even a full hour into it. However, I’m already feeling the need to talk about Slay the Princess, well at least briefly. I knew this was going to be a different…

Hat’s 2024 Game of the Year (And More)!

I don’t know about you all, but I struggle to remember everything I play in a year. I don’t necessarily mean that I’ll forget ever playing a game, but rather the “when” of it all kind of gets fuzzy. And, yeah, some games really are just that forgettable. Also, of those that are memorable, picking…

Revisited: There’s Always Time for Animal Crossing

With the holiday season approaching and scehdules getting tighter and more hectic, I thought now would be a good opportunity to take a moment and think about those games that you can always find a little time for, one of those being Animal Crossing!

Going from ‘Heck Yes!’ to ‘No Thanks’

With all the sales going on lately on PSN and Steam, I’ve been browsing around on them pretty frequently looking for something interesting to snap up. I was thinking of trying Conscript, but I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to sanp it up at full price and so kept looking. That’s when I found…

Return to Hollow Knight

While drifting around between a few games trying to decide what to do next after Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, I happened across a couple of Hollow Knight videos on YouTube. I haven’t really played the game since running through it a few years ago, so it’s been a little bit since I actually…
