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…
Kirby’s Dream Land 3 Review
For the last ten years, Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and I have kept passing each other by, with no more than mere glances in the other’s direction before ultimately going our separate ways. Whether in the form of a physical SNES cartridge or a quick download vie the Wii U Virtual Console, I have had…
Singing with Animals in Fe
Despite my stubborn love of physical games over digital, I have started to amass a small collection of digital games on the Switch (“amass” meaning about five games, which accounts for about 50% of my entire Switch collection, so…it’s all relative, I suppose). This all started when I was perusing the Switch eShop out of…
I Finally Played Yoshi’s Island
The most I knew about Yoshi’s Island was the fact that most (if not all) people who play it find baby Mario’s crying extremely aggravating. In fact, I knew there were several Yoshi games out there, and I didn’t even know which one it was that included such a…unique feature. (I was mainly confused about…
First (and Second) Impressions of The Talos Principle
After putting in a solid dozen or so hours into The Talos Principle, I can safely say that I remain both delighted and intimidated by puzzle games of this sort. I’m not sure what this might say about my gaming tendencies generally, only that my recent years in gaming have shown that I’m super cautious…
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Renews My Hope in the Franchise
Back in 2017, I played and reviewed the original Yooka-Laylee game, the spiritual successor to the much-loved Banjo-Kazooie series, made by the very same people who brought us the famous bear and bird duo back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I had some mixed feelings about the game, and owing to the fact…
The Sonic Movie was Actually…Pretty All Right
One of the most amusing things that happened on the Internet over the past year or so has got to be the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. More specifically, Sonic’s original nightmare-inducing design, complete with realistic chompers. In a turn of events that probably surprised everyone, Paramount actually redesigned Sonic and made him…actually really adorable. My…
Cuphead: A Swell Time
When Cuphead was originally released in 2017, people just wouldn’t stop talking about it. And based on the screenshots I had seen, the game looked cool enough with its 1930’s style graphics. Nevertheless, I was never actually tempted to try it myself, but rather decided to watch a playthrough of the game on YouTube. And…
