This is both A Quick Look at Inspector Waffles (Goloso Games) and a rant about point-and-clicks in general. A brief history: Eons ago, I thought I would really like point-and-clicks. Why? Because I like detective/murder stories/mysteries. I tried a bunch of the Wadjet Eye Games (Lauren Blackwell series), and my god, were they an exercise… Continue Reading
I think I’m close to finishing Wanderstop (Ivy Road), but I’m not sure. I am determined to finish it, but I–well, I’ll get to that later. Yesterday’s post was about the struggles I had with the game, and I’m going to continue in that vein today. Also, the video I’ll include below is the review… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about my backlog and indie games in general. I mentioned one that I was instantly drawn to when I saw the trailer, and now I want to talk about it. It’s called Wanderstop (Ivy Road), and it’s by the developer of The Stanley Parable. Everyone raved about the latter,… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo (Galla). I wrote about it yesterday and how I was in love with the game. I also mentioned a few bugs/things that annoyed me about the game. I want to start with the latter so I can end up strong/positive. By the way, I’m in… Continue Reading
I need to talk about a game called Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo (Galla), which I’ve been playing compulsively since I got it. I played the demo a while ago, absolutely loved it, and then kind of forgot it existed. I was reminded when I saw it had been released in mid-May. Don’t know… Continue Reading
I have more to say about Nightreign (FromSoft), so this is the third part of taking a quick look at it. Hey, this is as quick as I get. Deal with it.Here’s yesterday’s post in which I compare playing with randos with playing with people you know. I have put in 15 hours, and I… Continue Reading
I played quite a bit of Nightreign (FromSoft) today. First, I played a few rounds with rando. That was not great. I mentioned in yesterday’s post how it can work well or terribly, depending upon how cohesive the other two players were. On the first day, I got really lucky that most of my rando… Continue Reading
Nightreign (FromSoft) dropped at 5:00 p.m. my time on PC. It dropped six hours later for consoles. No idea why, but I’ll take the early release. I went in and did the tutorial. I’m glad I played a bit of Elden Ring the last few days to get me back on track before Nightreign. It… Continue Reading
Yes, I know that this is not a very quick look at Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive), but I have a lot to say about it because my feelings are all over the (nonexistent map). By the way, I just read that one of the devs was a Sekiro speedrunner before working on this… Continue Reading
I am still playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive) in one-to-two hour chunks. And I still go into every session with a sinking dread in my stomach. I don’t want to play it. But I do want to play it. But I don’t want to play it. But…. Look. I have very complicated feelings… Continue Reading
