It’s probably pretty safe to say that we all like rare items in our games. That is to say, we like acquiring rare items in our games. There’s a sort of rewarding feeling that comes with finally finding, earning or crafting that one item that’s been eluding you all game and thinking about finally getting…

Losing Momentum
I don’t know about you all, but for me finishing a game is all about getting into a groove and staying in it. Sometimes maintaining that groove is easy since the game is so good; sometimes it’s a struggle all the way through, but you’re gonna finish because you spent that $30 to $60, dang…
Safety Truly is an Illusion in Minecraft
I’ve been playing Minecraft off and on for a very long time now, and I thought that I had it all figured out by now. As far as I knew, any and all challenge in the vanilla survival mode was contained to the opening couple of day/night cycles and specific places like unexplored caves, the…
Minecraft: More Than Ten Years Later and Still Going Strong
It’s kind of amazing to me that Minecraft is over a decade old now and yet is still very relevant in today’s gaming landscape. How many games can boast a similar feat? I mean sure there are games that still inspire today’s works and plenty of games that people still play, but how many games…
Minecraft: Demo Review
It might seem hard to believe, but…I’ve never played Minecraft before. I know, Minecraft has got to be one of the most popular games of all time, but…nope. Never played it. Seeing as I had recently tried out the demo for a similar game called Terraria, however, I decided it was time I gave Minecraft…
Portal Knights: Demo Review
My first impression upon starting the Portal Knights demo was that it felt a lot like Minecraft with RPG elements. The game is described as a sandbox RPG, and the world is split up into a bunch of randomly-generated islands, though the demo only had us exploring one island after I spent a good deal…
Terraria: Demo Review
To be honest, I tend to get rather overwhelmed by games that give me too much freedom. A game that can be played almost endlessly is more akin to a nightmare to me than the exciting prospect that it really should be. Sure, I do like freedom in my games, freedom to complete a challenge…
Do It Yourself: Animal Crossing New Horizons vs Minecraft
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…
Minecraft Dungeons is the Plainest Dungeon Crawler Ever…And I Love It!
Minecraft Dungeons finally released last week, and it received pretty average scores across the board. After playing it for myself, I can see why. Minecraft Dungeons doesn’t really have any depth to it. There are no character classes, and item upgrading is limited to randomly rolled enchantments. Combat is differentiated mostly by weapon type and…
Listmas 2019: The Best Ways to Get Around
One of the best things about gaming in general is the myriad of transportation options available to players. Most of the time it’s mundane stuff like cars, horses and planes, but not always. Sometimes we get to indulge in a bit of fantasy and unreality, and that’s where the magic happens! Using these is part…
