Outer Wilds is one of those video game masterpieces that most people have probably never even heard of. To give you a little bit of background, this game is like an open-world mystery that takes place in outer space. You explore a small, but complex, solar system, and your goal is to basically play the…

Getting My Butt Kicked in Celeste
Over the years, I’ve been slowly catching up on a whole bunch of popular indie games. Undertale, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, and most recently, Celeste. Like Cuphead, I went into Celeste with a mixture of excitement and trepidation because I had heard that this game was brutally difficult. On the surface, the game follows Madeline as…
The Last Campfire: A Serene and Engaging Puzzle Game
Always on the hunt for interesting indie games, The Last Campfire is one of the newest additions to my digital library. Aside from watching a trailer at one point that I now no longer remember, I went into this game knowing almost nothing about it aside from the fact that it involved solving puzzles. While…
Little Nightmares 2 is Back for More Gruesome Goodness
The long-awaited Little Nightmares 2 is finally here, folks! And though I was a bit hesitant about setting my expectations too high (I’ve been let down by too many sequels, you see), I can safely say this game does not disappoint! This time around, we play as a boy named Mono, though it isn’t long…
Ratchet & Clank: Life of Pie Animated Short
Just a few days ago, completely without warning, a 23-minute Ratchet & Clank short aired on Crave, a streaming service in Canada. Created by the same company who made the 2016 movie, Mainframe Studios, it follows Ratchet and Clank as they stop Dr. Nefarious’ newest scheme, which involves a gun called a Portalizer that can…
Seasons After Fall is Beautiful, Yet Boring
There seems to be a plethora of games out there where you play as an animal (usually a fox, but sometimes a wolf) exploring forests and other natural environments. Seriously, it should be a genre all its own. Fe, The First Tree, Spirit of the North, and Lost Ember are all examples of this, and…
The First Tree is Something Truly Special
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…
