Of all the recent game announcements via the weekend that was not E3, the one I’m most excited about is Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I had thought we wouldn’t see it until next year, but no…it’s promised to be out this fall, and I cannot wait! The prospect of seeing this new entry in the…

Resonance: First Steps
Unravel is a puzzle-platformer starring a little guy made of red yarn named Yarny who travels through (mostly) natural landscapes and revisits the memories of an old woman. It can sometimes be a rather emotional game, though not always for the reasons intended by the developers. As I progressed through the game, I actually struggled…
Unravel: A Unique and Heartfelt Trip Down Memory Lane
Unravel is a puzzle-platformer where you play as a little creature named Yarny who can use his yarn to traverse beautiful, photo-realistic environments as we explore an old lady’s memories. The whole mechanics of the game are extremely unique, with Yarny being able to make rope bridges and trampolines and lasso his yarn onto objects…
It Takes Two is an Incredible Game, and I Never Want to Play it Again
Though both my husband and I are lifelong gamers, we’re only a few years into our own “co-op mode” renaissance. Before just a few years ago, the vast majority of our “together” time playing games was spent playing very separate games. With the exception of fighting games, we learned long ago that we weren’t compatible…
Unravel: Demo Review
A game which has crossed my path a lot lately is an intriguing little game called Unravel. In this puzzle platformer, you play as a little yarn creature called…ahem, Yarny. It looked promising, but at the same time, I was a bit reluctant. I think I was worried Yarny (based on the name, no doubt)…
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger: Another Platformer from a Bygone Era
There was something truly special about the platformers released during the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Banjo-Kazooie, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper were just a few series that were absolutely spectacular, but which, unfortunately, didn’t really survive beyond that golden age of platforming goodness. Considering my love for these types of games, a friend…
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…
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…
Glitches Involving Wackiness
Today’s post focuses on my favorite kind of glitches, the silly ones. These ones fill me with mirth and make game errors not so terrible. Enjoy these hilarious (and mildly amusing) glitches. That’s an order. Unintended mutants: “Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams”, I found, enjoys a good freeze now and then on my somewhat…
