Cozy Grove is, to put it simply, kind of like Animal Crossing, but with a greater emphasis on story. You play as a Spirit Scout and must help out the ghostly bears that inhabit the island by completing various fetch quests for them. Along the way, you’ll feed your sentient campfire Flamey with logs to…

Unravel 2’s Smooth Gameplay is Unravelled by a Weak Story
The original Unravel was a sweet and unique platformer where you play as a little creature named Yarny (made from yarn, as the name suggests) who can solve puzzles and traverse photo-realistic environments (spanning natural Swedish landscapes to industrial locations) using yarn. You can swing from yarn, make bridges with yarn, and even make trampolines…
Choo-Choo Charles is Utterly Ridiculous…and Kinda Fun
You may have heard of this absurd indie horror game made by one guy. Choo-Choo Charles is about a monster hunter who’s been summoned to the dreary island of Aranearum to hunt down the abomination that is Charles, a monstrous spider with a clownish visage that has presumably taken up residence within one of the…
Crow Country Doesn’t Quite Make it Back to Old School Horror
After playing through Crow Country’s brief demo a couple of months ago, I was eagerly looking forward to playing the full version. Classically-styled survival-horror is some thing of a rarity these days, so I’ll pursue it anywhere I can find it. So far, Resident Evil 7, Tormented Souls and Signalis have all provided great experiences…
Mamma Mia! The Super Mario Bros Movie Was Amazing!
Although I didn’t see it in theaters, the Duck recently got to see The Super Mario Bros Movie on Amazon! Buying recent releases without having seen them prior has, admittedly, backfired more times than not (I’m looking at you, Wreck-It-Ralph 2), but I had been hearing great things about Mario’s first animated movie (I’m aware…
Short Takes: Firewatch and Unpacking
While mulling over my after-game options in God of War, I turned to the ol’ Game Pass to keep myself occupied. When I picked up The Pedestrian, I also downloaded a few other smaller games that I had wanted to play or heard were worth trying. Two of them rose to the forefront: Firewatch and…
Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Demo Review
Recently, I reviewed the demo for Kirby Star Allies. As charming as it was, it didn’t offer enough unique content to make it stand out from countless other Kirby games. Fortunately, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a completely different story.
Kirby Star Allies: Demo Review
Although I generally enjoy the Kirby series, I don’t buy most of the games because they feel so similar. Fortunately, Kirby Star Allies gave me the opportunity to try the game out for free so I could decide whether or not it was worth my money. Based on my time with the demo, I’d probably…
Cat Quest: Demo Review
G’day, folks, in recent times, I have taken to downloading free demos as a means to experience a greater variety of games without having to pay for something I may not end up liking. (Y’know, the very reason demos exist.) Being someone who adores animals, especially those of the feline variety, it was no wonder…
Getting My Butt Kicked in Celeste
Over the years, I’ve been slowly catching up on a whole bunch of popular indie games. Undertale, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, and most recently, Celeste. Like Cuphead, I went into Celeste with a mixture of excitement and trepidation because I had heard that this game was brutally difficult. On the surface, the game follows Madeline as…
