Let’s talk more about Elden Ring (FromSoft) just becaause I can. This is my FromSoft game of the year, and here is yesterday’s post why Nightreign is not the one. It feels weird to not give the award to a FromSoft game that released within the calendar year, but I just could not do it.… Continue Reading
Now we’ve come to the part of my awards giving where I’m the most conflicted I’ve ever been. Here is yesterday’s post on Hades II (Supergiant Games), a game that reall yhad me conflicted. I felt really weird that I wasn’t more enthusiastic about the game, but I can only be honest–I prefer the oreginal.… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about my game awards for 2025. In the last post in which I wrote about this topic, I was musing about Hades II (Supergiant Games). I have written several posts about this game because it’s been the most frustrating game I’ve played this year by far. I know many people… Continue Reading
I’ve given some more thought as to Christmas, which is now done with. The Discord I’m in is very Christmas-forward, and I was thinking about what feeling the dozens of ‘Merry Christmas’ comments engendered in me. As you might expect, the answer to that is ‘it’s complicated’. Here is my post from yesterday. Twenty years… Continue Reading

I have a few more awards to give out for the games I have played this year. In the last post, I wrote about an indie game that had a lot of heart and was made by what I presume to be is a small team. I quick-Googled, and, yup. They have 29 employees, and… Continue Reading
I want to write more about Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock) because it’s emblemtic of my gaming year. I bestowed it with an award yesterday, but it is not without its flaws. I have written several posts in which I highlight the positives and the negatives. It has a mystery baked into it, but it’s, if… Continue Reading
I have played several games this year–more than I usually play. Most of them were on Steam because that’s my main game client. There was a game I had heard about and seen the trailer for the sequel, which was actually a prequel, of the game I’m about to bestow an award upon. Give me… Continue Reading
To continue with my game awards, today’s post is going to concentrate on detective games. I am a huge Poirot fan, and I have been hungering for a good detective game. There are a few Poirot games, but they all suck. There were two recent ones done by the same company that other people loved,… Continue Reading
Ok. I’ve been rambling about my year in gaming, so I’m going to jump right into the game awards I’m giving this year. The main theme of this year has me being simultaneously disappointed and hyped about the same game. I mean, most games have good and bad to them, but this year, there were… Continue Reading
