In my first impressions post for The Outer Worlds 2, I asked the all-important question: is the game more than just a pretty face? Now that I’ve completed the game after some 50(ish) hours of traipsing about its Arcadia system, I can safely say that it is. The end. Alright, maybe not. But here’s the…

Listmas 2025: Four Flaws Applied (and One I’m Trying for) in The Outer Worlds 2
Whenever I play an RPG, especially for the first time, I tend to err on the sides of advantage and power when it comes to skills. That’s to say, I pick skills/abilities/etc. that will give my character a leg up in battle and make them the most powerful person in the room. This means I’ll…
The Outer Worlds 2 First Impressions
The Outer Worlds 2 opens with a beautiful scene from one of the in-game serials (think: movie shorts), and the visuals don’t ever let up. After making a character of one’s choosing, players are let loose in a stunning world that’s as bright and ever bigger than what was presented in the first game. Everything…
I Vowed to Enjoy Avowed and Eventually Did
Fair warning, this post is going to contain with SPOILERS, so tread as you wish. That said… …the first one is to be prepared for a loooooong ending to Avowed. What happened was far from whatever I might have been expecting, and that was okay. I won’t lie and say that my eyes didn’t glaze…
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,…
Cary’s Most Anticipated Games of 2025
In looking ahead to a new year of potential in gaming, it’s a little difficult to not carry at least a little of the weight of recent games yet-to-play or those in-progress.

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…
Rumor: New Compulsion Games, Obsidian Entertainment Projects Leaked
It’s been a bit since Microsoft acquired Compulsion Games and Obsidian Entertainment, and nary a word has been said about what either studio has been working on since then. That is, there hadn’t been until a couple days ago. IGN has dug up some info, and it seems both studios’ newest projects have been leaked,…
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II is Absolutely Irresistible
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….

The first major piece of DLC for The Outer Worlds is almost here. The expansion arrives on September 9th, and Obsidian its impending release with a 10 minute gameplay presentation. The focus is on a side-mission rather than the main story, so it’s fairly spoiler-free in case you’re worried about that.
