Once Human - Survivalcraft meets Serverstabilitycraft

Game in Hand ·

2024/08/30

Rejoyce, summer release slump is over!I am having a fairly decent time with this game. It probably is worth more than the zero dollars I've spent on it, but it's cosmetics are also next to nothing in terms of appeal. Novice mode is the definitive casual way to play. Anyone else who is seeking even half a challenge should avoid novice servers.Wukong is out and I am definitely not a day 1 reviewer. I think it does a lot right and definitely will get to it when time permits. Judging from the other

Summer of Slowdown 2024 - Games Roulette

Game in Hand ·

2024/08/17

Serves us right for having such a strong new game library last year. Now we are stuck with a lack of (positive) new game news. Nothing worse than lackluster news either. I guess we can just sit around and wait for announcements to save the dates to hear about game release date announcements.... Boourns Dragon Age. Boourns. Hosted on Acast.

Cryptmaster - Hangman RPG

Game in Hand ·

2024/08/11

A change of pace from a summer of mind numbing shooters, F2P mediocrity, metroidvania like mazes, and card swiping waifu phone games. While I do think parts of the game do get a bit repetitive in terms of combat, it would be hard to say I didn't have to go into every interaction with something clever up my sleeve. The game isn't a chore to finish as the characters are lively, the comedic dialogue and crass responses fit the game well, and the puzzles you solve offer a decent breadth and depth to

Hades 2 - Must Buy More Hades

Game in Hand ·

2024/07/14

Supergiant is back again with early access to a solid game. It does lose a bit of its originality from the original Hades but there is multiple modes and challenges to keep you satisfied with the price tag. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

Game in Hand ·

2024/07/08

Definitely a premium remaster of the beloved original but I am praying for a 60fps mode with the Switch 2 or something. The highly touted partner wheel time saving vs hitting a button on the dpad is lessened by inputs that are just ignored when the game isn't quite ready yet to let you dismiss text boxes, menus, tactics, etc. Hosted on Acast.

Top 10 Favorite Game Boy games (GB, GBC, GBA)

2024/05/27

I started history/fact checking myself to see the power difference between the NES and the nintendo handhelds, and it's crazy how everything progressed. Hand held episode with a smile. I was considering putting FFTA on my GBA miss games the more I remember those stupid rules, but FFT gets a pass. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Top 10 Favorite NES and SNES games

Game in Hand ·

2024/05/06

Hard to not go off the deep end sometimes where nostalgia probably interferes with games ranking, objectively. Still, this wasn't just me playing it safe, it's what drives my brain towards playing these titles on retro handhelds on a regular basis. Or at least when I need a dose of childhood. Right next to metamucil and big bowl of bran. I know exactly why people go to extreme ends to fulfill childhood gaming nostalgia once I had 4 game cube controllers when they brought smash to the Wii U and

Unicorn Overlord Review

Game in Hand ·

2024/04/27

Vanillaware has put out another stellar title. Gone are the grid lines and take turns mechanics that held units and boredom in place. While the story is nothing spectacular it certainly wasn't sitting on my nerves or poorly written at any point. Tactical difficulty was an okay challenge right under gear cataloging. Easy to say by the end of the game you need to become really familiar with what items do otherwise, you're in for a scroll.Double excited to see more about Metaphor: Refantazio when it

South Park Snow Day - Regression of Quality

Game in Hand ·

2024/04/09

It seems South Park might be best experienced in the paper on 3D world. I know they likely didn't want a blockbuster budget game and in interviews Matt Stone mentioned Trey Parker likes RPGs and D&D, and Stone likes... mindless button mashers. I won't say that's the reason the game sucks but it's a complete deviation from previous quality. It's clunky, it's slow, it's repetitive, and I felt a real lack of compulsion to try anything new when I was face rolling through the game with the first

HellDivers 2 surpasses all expectations

Game in Hand ·

2024/03/26

Helldivers 2 has exploded in popularity and rightfully so. While I've limited most of my experience to one coop night a week with friends, it is definitely worth the praise and I can see the appeal grinding to level 50. It will be interesting to see how the devs at Arrowhead handle season 2 but it seems they are reactive and receptive enough to not screw up a good thing.Balatro on the other hand feels like something I should be able to replicate with a couple card decks and a sharpie.

Last Epoch 1.0 Early Impressions

Game in Hand ·

2024/03/03

It's tough to not just reminisce this game is the true spiritual successor to Diablo 2. It borrows a lot but uses it as a foundation for the depth of the game it provides. I feel the replay value isn't watered down through effortless respecing or uniques that dictate your build. A lot of this jives with my mindset but it will also be a test how well the monolith, echos, and dungeons feel to grind endlessly.It is a lot more stable now so take a lot of those reviews with just pinch of their cup of

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Game in Hand ·

2024/02/21

It's a solid game. I have 91 in game hours at this point on my premium save, realizing I said 65 hours instead of 85 at the point of recording (tired, lol). It was absolutely a joy to play from start to finish. Playing as Kasuga and Kiryu at the same time was the ultimate tropical bromance. Even though it felt like Kiryu was more of the main character and Kasuga was Like a Dragon: Infinite Puppy Energy. It didn't disappoint and always had times that kept you smiling, engaged, confused, extremely

Baldurs Gate 3 - Victory Lap Review

Game in Hand ·

2024/01/29

For the final 4 months of 2023, BG3 almost all my free time. Although I admit that it may have some flaws, such as the third act being a PC resource hog and less fulfilling compared to the first two acts, that's the end of the list of my complaints. It's an extravagant Dungeons & Dragons experience and Larian Studios truly went all out with it.Now playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and it's been a great way to kickstart 2024. Fingers crossed the fun train keeps going despite the gaming

Top Games and More of 2023

2023/12/17

Jokes aside, limiting lists to top 5 in 2023 should mean I need 6 lists alone just to mention games I really enjoyed this year. But I narrow my choices down for the best showings. Hopefully this should help anyone with a burning hole in their wallet looking for the best value for your steam wallet. Or even those big EGS sales that get scoured at by the religious cult of Steam.

Super Mario RPG Remake

Nostalgia triggered. I beat it in 4 sessions. While I can't make my brain process I paid full price for a very short game, I am enthralled at the opportunity Nintendo presented to players. Now do Chrono Trigger! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Super Mario Wonder

Game in Hand ·

2023/11/17

I don't think I can be too harsh about Nintendo reusing the New Super Mario Bros formula. It is the safest bet that Nintendo's holiday sales projections are safe. I think it's just all stop gap measures until we get the new switch. It was casual enough I didn't feel odd being compelled to completing the game over other titles. Really I just needed a mindless break after the month I have had. So consider me defeated when it comes to being too harsh on Nintendo, when they give you just enough to

Starfield Is Exactly What I Imagined It Would Be

Game in Hand ·

2023/10/07

Starfield has been out for a month now, it is good enough to not warrant red flags like we should have used for Fallout76. But it's not polished, and it's that final polish, proper upscaling tech, and time and time again bethesda problems that makes me think they need a good hard look at how or why this became a 200 million dollar game. It's currently my side game as Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't know I am seeing it between sessions.Switch 2 hype and rumor mill is running overtime and I had a shared

Too Many Good Games - Armored Core 6

Armored Core 6 is the star of this week, although I can't say it's the only game on my plate. Sea of Stars is as good as I had hoped. Need to pace myself a little better before backlog gets out of hand.Still can't believe Sony is going through with the Portal, half step measures to pretend to be relevant in handheld gaming.Ended up returning and buying the ROG Ally again at an open box discount, hopefully I can pass along some game performance on it and the steam deck.

Baldurs Gate 3 and Dave the Diver are Outstanding

Game in Hand ·

2023/08/12

LONG LIVE AMAZING, PASSIONATELY MADE GAMES. What started as an episode for Dave the Diver, which by all means is likely being the top indie game of 2023, became an show stolen by BG3. Larian fans, Divinity Original Sins fans, Baldurs Gate fans, D&D fans, get your wallet out right now. Metacritic best games of all time #1 AND #2 are current held by ISOMETRIC RPGS, the genre that was abandoned due to some mistreatment by some soulless studios running franchises into the ground.
