I’ve played plenty of games where your main character can fly or glide to a limited degree. I had often thought that it would be pretty cool to play a game where you can fly to your heart’s content. And that game, dear readers, is Gravity Rush, where you play as a girl named Kat…

Yep, Everyone’s Right – Palworld is Tons of Fun (For the Moment)
Count me among the uninitiated, because, if I had heard of Palworld prior to its monstrous pre-release last week, I had long since forgotten anything about it. And boy oh boy, was it ever hard to ignore. So much so that of course I had to go and grab it from the Game Pass library….
Going with the Flow in Tears of the Kingdom
Since picking up The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at release I have been making my way through it ever so slowly. My opinion of it so far stands with what others have already said, like my cohort, The Duck of Indeed. My quick review at this point (main story-wise, I’ve so far…
Going from Doubter to True Believer in Elden Ring
Okay, so last week at this time I had only just gotten my feet wet with Elden Ring. I still wasn’t sure what I was doing, but I was more or less enjoying it. I was starting to see the appeal even as I struggled my way up to the first major location of the…
Rage 2 Isn’t Everything I Hoped It Would Be, And That’s Okay
Earlier this week, I wasted no time in picking up a game I’d been waiting for since I heard about it during E3 last year. All the pre-release media looked good and all the preview coverage I’d read sounded very promising. I was certain that Rage 2 was going to be an excellent game, and…
Virtual Bastion: Then and Now
I’m sure I’m starting to sound like a broken record when I say that five years is a long time. Virtual Bastion has largely remained the same since the beginning, but there’s also no denying that it’s grown too. Instead of trying to provide a service we couldn’t possibly deliver on in any meaningful way,…
Super Mario Odyssey’s Open Kingdoms
I’m not what most people would call a fan of “open-world” style games. They were fun back when Assassin’s Creed was still following the adventures of Ezio Auditore, and they were okay when the Inquisitor closed the Breach in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Nowadays though, I’m finding the whole open-world thing more tiring than anything else….
Top 5: Favorite Open-World Games
As much as I enjoyed my first trek through Mass Effect: Andromeda, the game left me a bit soured with regard to open-world games. Surely the feeling is only temporary, but as I search for something to take its place that’s not Borderlands 2 (so fun!), I find myself avoiding anything that resembles an open-world…
Wandering the Endless Expanse
I finally did it. After all kinds of recommendations from friends and seeing that it was getting all manner of praise, I finally picked up and started playing Final Fantasy XV. I hadn’t really been paying a lot of attention to the media surrounding it, so I really didn’t know much about what type of…
Thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda as an Open World Game
It’s recently come to light that Mass Effect: Andromeda might be an open world game, one with a “seamless, open world galaxy,” as the headlines state. Seeing has how I’m currently knee-deep in the vivacious world of the original Mass Effect trilogy (on ME2 now, and loving it more than before), I couldn’t help but…
VIRTUAL BASTION
