I’m still playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive), andw I have many more thoughts about it. MANY. I wrote a lot about the game in yesterday’s post, and I ended with the thought that the more I play the game, the less I enjoy it. I am in the extreme minority in this, I… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit (Spry Fox). By the way, I don’t know when the 2 was dropped from the title and why. My hunch is that Netflix wanted it dropped because they did not want it emphasized that this was a sequel. I have no evidence to back it up, but… Continue Reading
Cozy Grove (Spry Fox) is…was one of my favorite indie games. It’s a cozy game, yes, but it also dealt with some heratbreaking issues. The main gist of that game (and this one) is that you’re a Spirit Scout who has to help deceased bears (who are people, but bears) move on to the afterworld.… Continue Reading
There is a phenomenon in gaming called Balatro (LocalThunk). It’s hard to describe what it is exactly, but I can start by saying it’s a poker-based game that is also a roguelike. If that sounds like a weird match-up, you’re right–but you’re also wrong. It’s developed by one guy, LocalThunk, who was inspired by a… Continue Reading
This is my fourth post on Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions). I know that seems like a lot for a quick look, but it’s not–at least not for me. Also, I’ve put in over 16 hours of gameplay, so four post doesn’t seem like that many. In the last post, I mostly talked about… Continue Reading
I’m on part three of my ‘quick look’ at Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions). In yesterday’s post, I talked about my difficulty with the combat. Before I go on with that, I want to acknowledge that there is an accessibility tab in the options menu. I said yesterday that Sucker Punch doesn’t seem to… Continue Reading
I have more to say about Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions). Here is my last (first) post about the game. I was musing about the combat when I wrapped up the first post on this game. I don’t love it, but I know that is me rather than the game. Or rather, it’s my… Continue Reading
Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions) has been on my radar for quite some time. It was a Sony/Playstation exclusive, so of course I was not going to be playing it for as long as it was locked off from the PC. Now, it’s on the PC. Nixxes Software did the port, and, apparently, they… Continue Reading
I have been playing an action rogue-lite indie game called, Secrets & Spells by Alchemist Interactive. I wrote part one of my A Quick Look about it here. At that point, I had cleared the first floor twice and died fairly quickly on the second floor. The only reward you get for beating the first… Continue Reading
I have a ton of games in my Steam backlog. Also called the Steam pile of shame. Every PC gamer has one (and, presumably, console players have their own backlog, too), and it’s often in the several hundreds if not thousands. My M.O. these days is to power through the demos I impulsively download during… Continue Reading
