Two days ago (Tuesday), I heard tell that certain games journalists got to play the closed network test that will be available for certain players on consoles this weekend (I assume it’ll be the same.) I was green with envy as they coyly said they weren’t allowed to talk about it yet. Then yesterday (Wednesday),… Continue Reading
I’m still riding the Elden Ring (FromSoft) high. I’ve watched the gameplay footage several times and will watch it again several times today, I’m sure. There’s a closed beta for it this weekend, but it’s only consoles, unfortunately. I’m going to pre-order the game, but I’m not sure which edition. Normally, I–well, back up a… Continue Reading
Elden Ring. Let me just repeat that. Elden Ring. Roughly twenty minutes of gameplay was released today and I. Am. Stoked. I am on my third watching of the footage and will probably continue to watch it all day long. Let’s rewind a bit. A month before I went into the hospital, there was talk… Continue Reading
Before the hospital, I was into three different kinds of games: soulslikes, roguelike-lites, and cozy games. I was playing Cozy Grove by Spry Fox (cozy game, of course. It’s right there in the name), Dorfromantik by Toukana Interactive, which loosely fits into the cozy games category as well, and (sigh) Nioh 2 by Team Ninja,… Continue Reading
Yes, I have used this title before, but I changed His to Her and added a 2, so it’s completely different, right????? Besides, if I’m plagiarizing, I’m plagiarizing myself, so whatever. And the reason it’s her instead of him is because there’s character creation/customization in the sequel! That was the first hour and a half… Continue Reading
Elden Ring. That’s it. That’s the whole post. No, not really, of course, but ever since a date was announced for the release of the game AND a new trailer (how you spoil us, FromSoft), it’s been at the forefront of my gaming brain. January 21, 2022. Some people in the industry are skeptical it’ll… Continue Reading
Ed. Note: I’ve finished Boyfriend Dungeon and I’m going to be talking about the controversy surrounding it, which means spoilers. Boyfriend Dungeon by Kitfox Games came out with much fanfare and as soon as people finished it (the same day or the next; it wasn’t very long), a controversy exploded. In the beginning, there is a… Continue Reading
Many moons ago (maybe even in the Before Times), I heard whispers of a game in which you could date your weapons. As a person who describes my relationships with my weapons in terms of romantic relationships (hot torrid affair with my double sabers, for example), this grabbed my attention. The name of it gave… Continue Reading
I’m on Day 117 of Cozy Grove by Spry Fox. I have appreciated it being my stress relief on a daily basis. Bite-sized fun that can be anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour a day, depending on how much of the day-to-day you want to do. This is both a boon and a deterrent,… Continue Reading
I’ve been playing an indie game called Death’s Door by Acid Nerve. It had been on my radar because of the gorgeous graphics and the fact that you’re a crow with a red sword. I mean, that’s really all I need to know because I’m simple like that. It’s an action adventure Metroidvania with… Continue Reading
