“All things on the Internet are forever,” or so they say. And it seems that this week, the “they” of the gaming community is not letting anyone forget that somewhere is a timeline where we’re all playing Grand Theft Auto VI right now. Now, some no doubt recall that in 2024, the game appeared to…

The Duck’s Many Trials and Triumphs of Silksong Act 2
Last time I wrote about my time with Silksong, I had gotten stuck in the Underworks and loaded an auto-save that took me back to the start of act 2. I just didn’t have it in me to do anything too difficult after being annihilated by the Phantom for a good solid 1.5 hours. Since…

At the Gates of Oblivion (Remastered)
After completing The Elder Scrolls IV: Obivion’s main story, my first thought was that I wished I had played this game before its sequel, the fifth Elder Scrolls title, Skyrim. This notion was quickly followed by memories of how poorly I got along with Skyrim when I first attempted playing back in 2012. Everything about…

As I reflect on…
The Highs and Lows of Silksong: Reaching Act 2
When last I discussed my early thoughts on Hollow Knight: Silksong, I left off not feeling too happy with the game. I had, in fact, just conquered the room where you’re ambushed by “birds” before encountering yet another boss fight that was required to progress. By now, I was getting downright fed up. It almost…

Resonance: The Frozen Path
Despite my best efforts, MIO: Memories in Orbit and I had a short run. While a beautiful game with a unique setting and extremely good platforming, its overly challenging bosses proved too much for me, even with selected options meant to ease their difficulty. I suppose I may return to it, but that won’t be…
