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
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
At one of the Geoffcons, there was a trailer for a game called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Sandfall Interactive). Ben Starr (the biggest VA darling at the moment) was narrating a sober story about the Paintress who paints a painting every year during the gommage. Everyone who is a certain age crumbles into dust while… Continue Reading
Yesterday, as I was doing a bit of research into Nightreign (no longer remember why), I came across a post in Reddit that was pretty vitriolic against the game and FromSoft. I’m not surprised at the negativity because the game is very much un-From-like. It’s multiplayer, set in the Lands Between, and a roguelike/lite. There… Continue Reading
I wrote a post yesterday listing some of the criteria I use to rank my favorite FromSoft games. I talked a lot about the map in Elden Ring, which I thought was a brilliant way to handle their first real map in a game. I mentioned in the last post that I should never doubt… Continue Reading
Before I get to 1 and 2 on my favorite FromSoft games list, I want to explain the criteria I used to rank the games. I don’t know if I ever have, and even if I have, I am going to do it again. First of all, there’s vibes. Yes, vibes. Vibes include atmosphere, environment,… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I started my list of FromSoft games in honor of the fact that Nightreign is dropping in a month. They just released a trailer about the Recluse, who is considered an advanced character (who does magicks). I am going to buy it and play it, of course, but I have a hunch… Continue Reading
I have two lists of my favorite games. One is my favorite FromSoft games and another is my favorite non-FromSoft games. In honor of Nightreign coming out in a month (their co-op action adeventrue multiplayer game, which I’ll talk about more later), I decided to rank the FromSoft games I’ve played. I’ve done it before,… Continue Reading
Yes, I’m doing one more post about my favorite Dark Souls game–the third one. Third Dark Souls, I mean. This is the millionth post I’ve written on the subject. Here’s the lastest post I wrote on it (from yesterday). Many people thought the third game was not as hard as the first one. I would… Continue Reading
Dark Souls III (FromSoft) is my favorite of the Souls game,s and it’s tied with Elden Ring for my favorite game of all time. This is a controversial take, but I don’t even care. I am very careful to say that they are my favorite From games, not that they are the best From games.… Continue Reading
