The First Tree is an interesting sort of game that I have to approach a bit differently than I would my usual game reviews. The big difference here is…The First Tree is not really a video game. It is, but it’s not. It’s more like an interactive story than anything else. So if it’s a…

[REVISITED] 77 Hours Later, and Mass Effect: Andromeda is in the Bag
One of my gaming goals for 2021 is to replay Mass Effect: Andromeda. Can’t say it’s a lofty goal, but with the Mass Effect Legendary Edition due out later this year, rather than tread through the original trilogy for the umpteenth time, I figured I’d cast fresh eyes over Andromeda‘s post-Commander Shepard universe instead. It’s…
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time We Got a Crash Game This Good
Though I was many years behind when it came to experiencing the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy (and even then, it was the N. Sane Trilogy on the PS4), I am pleased to say there is finally a Crash game that I got the opportunity to play not so very long after its release date. Yes,…
Playing as a Two-Year Old in Among the Sleep
Going into Among the Sleep, I had no idea what to expect. In fact, I was not even aware the game existed until I was searching for the release date for Little Nightmares 2. Though my search was in vain, I was recommended several horror games, the most intriguing being Among the Sleep, which I…
A Tale of Two Fallouts
When the “One Wasteland for All” patch was released for Fallout 76 in September, despite my best efforts, I was pretty darn excited. With Bethesda’s promise that one could now “experience all that the Appalachian Wasteland [had] to offer no matter [one’s] level” with “re-balanced combat and rewards,” I was ready to tackle all those…
Inmost Is As Beautiful As It Is Eerie
I first became aware of Inmost thanks to a trailer on YouTube. I don’t recall even finishing the trailer because the first few moments had already piqued my interest. The game’s surprisingly beautiful pixel art style and eerie atmosphere was what hooked me. Oftentimes, it is unwise to judge a game based solely on such…
Child of Light: An Excellent RPG for Those Pressed for Time
More often than not, a game with an interesting art style is a surefire way to grab my attention. While this is most certainly not the only criteria one should consider when perusing their gaming options, it has also led me to such interesting titles as Okami, GRIS, and Cuphead, all of which are excellent…
I played Heavy Rain, and that’s all I have to say about that (but not really)
In my What Remains of Edith Finch post, I hinted that there was at least one other game in my PS4 backlog that I wished to tackle. That game was Heavy Rain (2010), another I got via PS Plus a long time ago, and much like with Edith Finch, one that I had been putting…
The Emotional Journey of Edith Finch
Before moving onto bigger, more extensive games, I recently decided to tackle a couple games from my backlog, one of which was What Remains of Edith Finch, which I picked up via PS Plus sometime ago. I had largely avoided it for no good reason. I knew it more an interactive experience and less of…
The Talos Principle Proves that I Still Have A Lot to Learn
In Jim’s Henson’s movie Labyrinth, there’s a scene where the protagonist (who is stuck in said labyrinth) is told that a solid rock wall contains an opening. After visually inspecting the wall and believing that if it looks like a wall, it is a wall (onscreen, it does look like a solid wall), she’s told…
