There has been one game I’ve been looking forward to all year with a mixture of hope and fear. A sequel to one of my favorite non-FromSoft games that has been in Early Access since May of 2024, and I have been studiously ignoring its existence because I did not want to know anything about… Continue Reading
Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock) continues to frustrate me. In yesterday’s post, I ruminated on those frustrations to a lengthy extent. I think part of the reason I’m so frustrated with it is because I can see what it’s trying to be–and what I want it to be. Also, when I’m not loving a game that… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock). This is part two of my A Quick Look at the game. Here is my first post in which I talked a bit about my first impressions. I said in that post that I was worried that the game would get out of control. I… Continue Reading
I heard about a cozy farming/dating sim called Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock) and saw it had a demo on Steam. I decided to give it a go since I gave up on Tiny Bookshop (neoludic games) (long story, will do an official review at some point). I liked the demo well enough though I did… Continue Reading
I’m still playing Tiny Bookshop (neoludic games), and I have more to say about it. I left off part one by saying this is the perfect small bites game; I still think it is. I also said that I had several small complaints, and I want to expand on that a bit. First, though, I… Continue Reading
I’ve been on a cozy game kick for the last few weeks. I’m just done with hard games. It’s taken me quite a while to realize that I don’t really like ‘hard’ games for a variety of reasons. I play FromSoft games for the exploration, the exquisite level design, and for the lore. I suffer… Continue Reading
I’ve played more of Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works), and I need to talk about it. I love so much about it–but there are a few things that really drag it down. In my last post, I touched on two of the things that really annoy me about the game, and I want to… Continue Reading
I am obsessed with Promise Mascot Agency (Kaizen Game Works), so I’m doing another quick look (or extended look. whichever). I was saying yesterday that I was having difficulty with the driving–which is usually my least-favorite part of any given game. It was janky and jerky, no matter how much I fiddled with the controls.… Continue Reading
I am still on my murder mystery game kick. And for whatever reason, I was looking at Steam. Well, no. I know exacttly why. I wanted to look at mystery games precisely because I’m on this kick. I found a game that immediately intrigued me. I think I had heard of it before, but I… Continue Reading
When the first Golden Idol game came out, I desperately wanted to like it because it seemed to be way up my alley. Sadly, I could not get into it, so I put it aside. Then along came The Roottrees Are Dead. Someone in the RKG Discord was really pushing it, and I bought it… Continue Reading
