If you’ve delved into the gaming Internet within the past few of weeks, they you’ve probably caught wind of Cyberpunk 2077’s “redemption arc” with its 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty DLC release. I admit that I was paying close attention, not so much for the DLC, but for the 2.0 update – the “thing” that…

Spooktober: Please Stop Hunting Me!
At first I thought that it was going to be a little hard to pick a single kind of scare that gets me the most in horror games, but after not actually all that much thought, I realized that I absolutely hate the feeling of being hunted! More than simply running away, being hunted I…
Spooktober – Suspense is Just Killer!
Happy Spooktober everyone! As Cary said earlier, our original Halloween special is back, and this time we’re going back to what it’s all about: the scares! This week we’re talking about which genre scares us the most, and for me it’s the gaming equivalent of the suspense-thriller!
Baldur’s Gate 3 Gets Really Heavy Sometimes
In the last couple of posts I made about Baldur’s Gate 3, I talked a lot about its characters and the amount of freedom the game allows you. I’m still greatly enjoying both and could readily talk about either again, but today I’d like to talk about something else. For all the freedom the game…
Characters Good Enough to Love…and Hate
As I mentioned last week, I’ve recently picked up Baldur’s Gate 3, and it’s sort of been my obsession ever since. A big part of it is the tactical gameplay and how you can stumble across interesting quests in the weirdest places, but it’s also due to the writing.
Starfield, the Adventure Begins
After racking up about 20 hours in Starfield during its release weekend, it’s as good a time as any to throw my hat into the first impressions ring, the TL;DR of which is Starfield has so far been an enjoyable but imperfect experience. It’s different but also familiar, as if Bethesda simply placed a new…
Gaming News Needs to Calm Down
Normally on Wednesday I like to bring you some sort of gaming news. It’s usually not breaking anymore by the time I get to it, but I like to hope that a lot of it is interesting enough to comment on. This week is kind of slow news-wise, so instead I wanted to take second…
Venturing Out in Baldur’s Gate 3
So, Baldur’s Gate 3 finally released for PS5 this weekend, and so I finally had the chance to see for myself whether or not this game I’ve spent the last few weeks salivating over was actually worthy of it. Well, in the interest of remaining as objective as possible, the jury is still out on…
Persona 5 Royal: Final Thoughts
Even though I’ve had some time to reflect on my time with Persona 5 Royal, I remain unsure how to best summarize my experience with the game. When I think about how it went, my brain stalls like a flooded car, because there are just too many things that I want to say and too…
Surprise Sequels: Tormented Souls II
Whenever one of the major gaming events rolls around (E3, Gamescom, TGS, etc.) I’m always expecting to see sequels and spin-offs to major series like Fallout, Assassin’s Creed, or something like Halo. You know, large IPs that publishers are certain will make money. It’s always nice to see the handful of new IP that get…
