The following post contains spoilers for Darwin’s Paradox! Proceed at your own risk! Early this year, I played through the “Tactical Action Octopus Demo” of Darwin’s Paradox!, a new platformer from ZDT Studio and Konami. In short, I said then that I thoroughly enjoy what it offers. It feels like it’ll be a great addition…

Thoughts on Fable’s New Gameplay Demo
If it wasn’t already painfully obvious, or if you’re new here, I’m really excited for Playground Games’ Fable, now releasing in early 2027. But while I’ve been dying for new information about the game almost since it was first announced, I am one of those players who like to go into these self-hyped games knowing…
Let Your Light Shine in Keeper
When Double Fine’s Keeper was first revealed during last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase, it made quite an impact. Or so it seemed around me. I wasn’t immediately taken with this game that’d become known as “the one where you play as a lighthouse.” While I appreciate the studio’s dare-to-be-different attitude, its games aren’t in my…
Atomfall: How Will You Escape a World Gone Awry?
When Rebellion’s Atomfall was first announced in the summer of 2024, comparisons to the Fallout franchise popped up almost immediately. I’ll admit that the similar post-apocalyptic feel had me hooked enough to name Atomfall as one my most anticipated games of this year. The game was released in March and I downloaded it then, but…
So, Summer Game Fest Happened, I Guess
For a very, very long time, the biggest event of the year was E3. Even after other events like Gamescom, TGS and things like Nintendo Directs emerged, E3 was pretty much still THE event of the year. E3 and the weeks leading up to it were absolutely packed with excitement, buzz and optimism as to…
Favorite Reveals from Summer Game Fest and More, 2025
It’s not lost on me that, with the Internet being the permanent home of game leaks and rumors, shows like Summer Games Fest, the State of Play, and the Xbox Showcase, don’t pack as much punch as they used too (if they ever really did). Still, even if nothing under the sun is exactly new…
Avowed: A First Impressions Story
In a recent session with Avowed (I’m about sixteen hours in), there came a point in one of the main story quests that I thought I had made a huge mistake. Though I thought I had properly followed the game’s tips on leveling my both my character and her gear, I reached a region where,…
Nintendo Swings for the Fences
Well, what an interesting year, and then some, it’s shaping up to be in the world of gaming! After the Xbox Showcase at Game Fest, I didn’t think much else could come out on top. But, Nintendo then went and released a phenomenal Direct that proved they are still in it to win it. Though…
Starfield, the Adventure Begins
After racking up about 20 hours in Starfield during its release weekend, it’s as good a time as any to throw my hat into the first impressions ring, the TL;DR of which is Starfield has so far been an enjoyable but imperfect experience. It’s different but also familiar, as if Bethesda simply placed a new…
The Ehs and Ohs from the Xbox Games Showcase 2023
Another week, another showcase! This time round it was Microsoft showing off all its upcoming Xbox goodies. This included a 45-minute dive into Starfield, which was a thing in and of itself. This game remains one of my most-anticipated, and that hasn’t changed. (My birthday is right around the time it releases, so happy birthday…
