One great thing about the end of the year is that there’s not much news to deal with. Yeah there’s still the ongoing RAM shortage stuff and all, but not a lot of new game or business announcements. We are all, for the most part, collectively chilling, which is something that I really enjoy about…

Sneaky Secrets Galore in The Talos Principle
Not too long ago, I was able to get The Talos Principle on sale for a couple bucks. Cary had recommended it, and I quickly saw why the game got so much praise, with its focus on philosophy, thought-provoking questions, and challenging, but interesting puzzles. At times, the game made me really question what it…
Road to Gehenna: Funny Meets Philosophy in This Talos Principle DLC
The Talos Principle is a philosophical puzzle game where you play as an android, though my description really doesn’t do it justice. Considered one of the best obscure games of all time, you can read Cary’s review here. I was fortunate enough to catch The Talos Principle on sale for roughly $5.99, and little did…
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,…
I Wish I Had More Pepper Grinder
My intial plan for this weekend’s game time had been to fight for the glory of the empreror in Space Marine 2 with a buddy of mine, but they were unexpectedly busy, which left me to find another game to play. Fortunately, Pepper Grinder was on sale, so I snapped it up since I’d actuallly…
The Talos Principle 2 First Impressions
When Devolver Digital announced new DLC for The Talos Principle 2 at its showcase during Game Fest weekend, I immediately took notice. Not only did it look fantastic, but also it reminded me that I needed to, y’know, actually play the actual game. I had a fantastic time with the original game, tackling its “philosophical”…
Favorite Summer Game Fest (and More) Reveals
At some point soon, we’ll all (or just me, at least) will stop calling Game Fest “not E3,” but until then…this past weekend was, indeed, not E3. It was the Summer Game Fest, plus Sony’s own State of Play, that brought forth a slew of gaming content, known and unknown, that players will see this…
Listmas 2023: Beautiful Games That Will Save on Wrapping Paper
Wrapping paper is not usually sufficient to hide the presence of a video game. We all know the relative shape and size, so it’s really just to hide its specific identity. But there are some games that are just too beautiful to be covered up by some brightly colored, winter-themed paper. For these games, you…
Skate Story Looks Transcendent!
With all of the nonsense that goes on in the games industry these days, it can be rather easy to lapse into resigned melancholy when thinking on its future. For me, I often can’t help but wonder if everything is going to wind up being subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and free-to-play cash grabs…
