In yesterday’s post, I talked about the game, Tails of Iron (Odd Bug Studios), also known as Rat Souls. I played a few hours of it and really gave it the old college try. I mentioned what I liked about it (mainlyf the art design), and I have more to say about it. Really, it’s… Continue Reading
I quit playing Sekrilo (Another Crab’s Treasure) because I just was not having fun with it. I may go back to it at some point, but I may not. I have decided that the game will forever more be known as Sekrilo (the protag is Kril), and I shall not be moved from it. Ian… Continue Reading
I have talked in the last two posts about Another Crab’s Treasure by Aggro Crab. I’ve been calling it a sekiro-lite rather than a soulslike, but now I want to call it Secrabo. Someone in the RKG Discord called it Crabiro, which I will also accept. First, I have been doing my gun run after… Continue Reading
I have been playing more Another Crab’s Treasure (Aggro Crab) and talking about it in the RKG Discord. Here is part one in which I did a very brief overview of the game (plus some random ranting). Spoiler, kinda? This is about accessibility, and one way Aggro Crab made it easier was they added a… Continue Reading
Soulslikes is a category that has exploded in the last decade, for better and for worse. I love the Dark Souls trilorgy and Elden Ring, but I have not found many of the soulslikes to be anywhere near as good. Salt and Sanctuary (Ska Studios) was decent, and I actually finished it. But it was… Continue Reading
In the last post, I ended by talking about an ongoing debate I have with a From fan who is an enthusiastic invader in the games. Which, whatever. Be a dick if you want to be a dick. The tension of summoning, blah, blah, blah, bullshit. Look, I get it. The hardbois want to continue… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was talking about why I think I’m nearing the end of my relationship with From games (it’s them, not me. But it’s me. But it’s also them). I don’t play the games because they are difficult, and I have the feeling that the Elden Ring DLC is going to be… Continue Reading
In the last post, I was griping about my dex run in Elden Ring. I have never done a pure dex run, nad there’s a reason for it. Here are the things I am bad at in these games: dodging, chaining attacks without getting hit; melee if I can’t take hits. All three of these… Continue Reading
I debated whether this post should go within my current series on pop culture (and what I hate about it, in general). I decided it does not belong in the series at large, but it’s in a similar vein. Why? Because I’m going to talk about one part of niche pop culture that went mainsteram,… Continue Reading
I’ve been rambling about FromSoft games for the past several posts, and I’m currently musing about what they mean to me. I’m also deciding whether or not I’m going to continue playing them after Elden Ring. As to the latter, it’s not a question of whether I want to continue playing them or not, but… Continue Reading
