I Finally Played Yoshi’s Island
The most I knew about Yoshi’s Island was the fact that most (if not all) people who play it find baby Mario’s crying extremely aggravating. In fact, I knew there were several Yoshi games out there, and I didn’t even know which one it was that included such a…unique feature. (I was mainly confused about…

The More I See of Cyberpunk 2077, the More I Want to Play The Witcher 3
My history with The Witcher games goes about as deep as a sauce pan. Via Steam, I put a sizeable handful of hours into both the first and second games combined, and both failed to capture my attention.

First (and Second) Impressions of The Talos Principle
After putting in a solid dozen or so hours into The Talos Principle, I can safely say that I remain both delighted and intimidated by puzzle games of this sort. I’m not sure what this might say about my gaming tendencies generally, only that my recent years in gaming have shown that I’m super cautious…
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Renews My Hope in the Franchise
Back in 2017, I played and reviewed the original Yooka-Laylee game, the spiritual successor to the much-loved Banjo-Kazooie series, made by the very same people who brought us the famous bear and bird duo back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I had some mixed feelings about the game, and owing to the fact…

A New Ratchet & Clank is Coming to the PS5
I tried to firmly tell myself that I wouldn’t be getting the PS5 for at least a year or two after its release. Consoles are expensive, after all, and I can’t just keep…what’s that? They’re making a new Ratchet & Clank? Dang it. Okay, so you might already be aware, but I’m a huge Ratchet…
