Your gaming home away from home!
Song of the Deep had been on my radar for a long time, largely because it was made by Insomniac, the creators of one of my favorite gaming franchises, Ratchet & Clank. The game is an underwater Metroidvania where you control a submarine built by a girl named Merryn who makes it her goal to…
Despite having plenty to play at the moment, I’ve recently found myself thinking about returning to either Animal Crossing: New Horizons or Minecraft. There’s just something about building your own stuff in games I just can’t help but find compelling (when it’s done well), so it’s hard to stay away from those sorts of games…
Up this week: Psychonauts – in this classic game, Raz works to unravel a mystery using his psychic abilities and mad platforming skills. Conker’s Bad Fur Day – we travel through a very bad day in the life of a red squirrel in this classic 3D platformer. The Secret Order 8: Return to the Buried…
A couple months ago, when I opted into Fallout 1st, Fallout 76’s subscription service, its custom world-building mode call Fallout Worlds was on the verge of release. It was not why I subbed; I only wanted to try out the game privately with an actual “lone wanderer.” In this regard, my current replay is moving…
Since the release of Detroit: Become Human, we haven’t seen or heard from neither developer, Quantic Dream, nor creative lead David Cage. The game apparently sold well enough to keep the company in business, but one can never know these days. Anyway, Quantic Dream is indeed still around, and it seems their next project involves…
Not so very long ago, I ranked the wildly creative mindscapes featured in the original Psychonauts. Having finally caught up with the series, I now have the pleasure of ranking the worlds found in Psychonauts 2. Considering the franchise’s emphasis on psychology, it’s no surprise the Psychonauts games contain some of the most unique worlds…
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the demo for Immortals Fenyx Rising, an open-world game made by Ubisoft where you play as the new demigod Fenyx. Having studied a decent amount of Greek mythology in school, I can really appreciate this aspect of the game and was rather pleased whenever the game made…
This month, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic makes its debut on the Nintendo Switch, something that I’m actually rather excited about. The idea that even more people will have the chance to enjoy the game makes me happier than I thought it would, and it’s inspired me to return to the games myself….
Up this week: Psychonauts – in this classic game, Raz works to unravel a mystery using his psychic abilities and mad platforming skills. Conker’s Bad Fur Day – we travel through a very bad day in the life of a red squirrel in this classic 3D platformer. Persian Nights 2: The Moonlight Veil (demo) –…
I’ve sunk many replay hours into several notable gaming series: Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Grand Theft Auto, to name a few. But I don’t think any of them come close to the time I spent replaying a “trilogy” of its own: Metroid: Zero Mission (remake of the original Metroid), Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion. While…
