At the time of writing my Dragon Age: The Veilguard first impressions post, I claimed having a solid and mostly positive start. While it was plain to see BioWare’s work in weaving Veilguard into the Dragon Age series, it was difficult for me to detach from the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition – Trespasser. Because…

The Iron Rig DLC Added a Big Ugly Oil Rig to My Ocean!
The Iron Rig DLC has finally been released for Dredge, which adds an oil rig to the northern portion of your map and a whole new story and cast of characters. Those responsible for adding this monstrosity to the ocean are none other than the Ironhaven Corporation, a shady business whose true purposes are unknown,…
A Little to the Left is a Little Tedious
As part of one’s Nintendo Switch Online subscription, apparently free game trials are available, in which you have a limited time to play a game for free. I just found this out recently when Nintendo emailed me about a game trial for a puzzle game called A Little to the Left. I had about a…
Kind and Courageous, The Plucky Squire Delivers
To say I was looking forward to playing The Plucky Squire after it was first announced in 2022 is an understatement. With modest promises of a 2023 release that became a late 2024 release, I became a little obsessed with following any crumbs of news about it, just hoping that this little game with big…
The Talos Principle 2: Better, Bigger, Brilliant
SPOILERS from the get-go, while my complaints about The Talos Principle 2 are mostly minimal, when I discovered late in the game that I could not return to New Jerusalem, essentially the game’s “home base,” before reaching the endgame, I felt decidedly sour. If something or someone had indicated a point of no return earlier,…
Alisa: Demo Review
Making modern games in a retro style has become rather common practice lately. A major trend I’ve noticed lately are PS1-style horror games. Perhaps those grainy graphics just lend well to a spooky atmosphere in the same fashion as creepy VHS-style videos. Wanting to try one of these games for myself, I was pleased to…
FNAF 1-4: A Comparison
For the longest time, the only original Scott Cawthon-created Five Nights at Freddy’s games I owned were the first two. This was largely due to the fact that these games were originally only available on the PC, and I’m more of a console gamer. Nevertheless, I still tried the first two games for myself, then…
My Dad Becomes a Rabbit in FNAF: Into the Pit
Last week, I shared my rather…interesting experience with FNAF: Into the Pit, in which I explained how I may or may not have accidentally downloaded a version of the game not intended to be seen by the public… Long story short, I was unable to complete the game due to a glitch in night 4…
Dredge’s Pale Reach DLC is Fun, But My Excitement Thawed by the End
Having now gotten 100% in the eerie world of Dredge, I was eager to do more with my speedy, fully-upgraded boat and the huge wads of cash I had accumulated over the course of my adventure. Fortunately, Dredge has some DLC in the form of the $5.99 Pale Reach expansion, which adds a large icy…
Hob: An Open-World Metroidvania About a World Infected by Purple Goo
Hob (or in my case, the Definitive Edition of Hob) is a 3D adventure-platformer of sorts where you explore an alien planet infected with a strange purple goo. The story is told wordlessly through the environment, and the game is completely devoid of music, the ambience being comprised largely of exotic animal noises. The early…
