Having finally played the critically acclaimed Bastion, I decided it was finally time to check out another one of Supergiant’s games, Transistor. The game takes place in a futuristic cyber city known as Cloudbank and follows the story of Red, a famous singer whose voice has been stolen. She quickly teams up with the Transistor,…

Starting three new characters in FFXIV seemed like a good idea at the time….
When I left Final Fantasy XIV over the summer, though I had a mostly fine time with the game, I wasn’t sure when or even if I’d get back to it. At the time, I was keen on getting some final use out of my Fallout 76 sub, and once that was done, I really…
Miitopia is Way Better Than It Has Any Right to Be
When I initially saw a partial playthrough of the original 3DS release of Miitopia on YouTube, my expectations were low. You see, I’ve never been a big fan of Mii’s. For me, these simple, customizable characters were just not very appealing, and so I expected Miitopia to be a shallow and dull experience. I was…
The Procession to Calvary has its ups and downs but mostly gets it just right
I’m not very good at keeping up with Game Pass games, so when I caught wind of The Procession to Calvary‘s imminent departure from the service, I’d no clue if it had been there for months or weeks. Regardless, I jumped on the opportunity just in time to catch the game. Thankfully, it was short…
A Pirate’s Life for Me?
TL;DR Eh, probably not. But it was somewhat fun while it lasted! When my household first dipped into Game Pass, Sea of Thieves almost immediately went on the “play later” list, along with several other multiplayer offerings. Like so many other live service games, this one came with its own story of redemption. After a…
Bringing Peace to Miitopia Once and For All
I’ve finally done it, dear readers! I have finally completed my grand adventure in Miitopia, at long last! The Darker Lord has been defeated, and I’ve thoroughly explored the generous post-game as thoroughly as I care to. I’ll be writing a full review eventually, but for now, this post shall offer a recap of the…
Spooptober: Mora
For my final #Spooptober pick, I wracked my brain a bit to come up with a character that was both made in the image of something I truly find scary and turned out to be friendly in the most surprising way possible. It turned out that my brain didn’t have to work that hard, because…
Spooptober: Madame Clairvoya
One of the best games to really embrace the spoopy theme is Luigi’s Mansion, that fun little romp where Luigi must capture ghosts by sucking them up in a vacuum. While the game features all sorts of silly, smiling ghouls, that doesn’t change the fact that these ghosts are still eager to give poor Luigi…
Spooptober: Wise Mothman
To Bethesda’s credit, Fallout 76 is a game that’s much better than it once was. Between when I started playing the game in 2019 and now, it’s become more enjoyable and less broken, both good things. But the one good thing the game had going for it all along is its lore. Setting the game…
Spooptober: The Amalgamates
Undertale is an odd mixture of quirky humor and downright dark and unsettling moments. Easily the creepiest location in the game is the True Lab, where the topic of today’s post resides. But first, I must warn you that spoilers for the True Pacifist Route are beyond this point.
