Ghost of Tsushima–A Quick Look, part two

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–A Quick Look

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

Spells & Secrets–A Quick Look, part two

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

Spells & Secrets–A Quick Look

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

Stranger of Paradise; Final Fantasy Origin–A Quick Look, part four

Alright. It’s a bit disingenuous to keep calling this a quick look since I’m on post four, but I’m going to stubbornly sticking to that because I can. It’s also amusing because I have played an hour or so of the game (maybe two), which is not very much playing time in comparison to how… Continue Reading

Stranger of Paradise; Final Fantasy Origin–A Quick Look, part three

We’re up to post three of my ‘quick look’ at Stranger of Paradise; Final Fantasy Origin (Team Ninja). Which, by the way, I always want to write as Strangers of Paradise because it’s about a team of people, not one person, but maybe that’s not the meaning of the name. In the last post, I… Continue Reading

Stranger of Paradise; Final Fantasy Origin–A Quick Look, part two

This is my second post about Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team Ninja), what I like and don’t like about it. I found watching the demo campy and enjoyable, so I bought it when it was half off. I have been playeng Elden Ring almost exclusively since the Shadow of the Erdtree drop, so… Continue Reading

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin–A Quick Look

I’ve been playing Elden Ring pretty much nonstop since it came out. I’ve played other games here and there, but I always return to Elden Ring. I watched Eurogamer (Aoife and Ian) play a few hours of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (Team Ninja) (the video is below), and it’s bonkers. The main character… Continue Reading

Shadow of the Erdtree–A (not so) Quick Look, part four

And we’re back to talk more about Shadow of the Erdtree (which is everywhere, it seems, on YouTube and in the Discord). At the end of the last post, I was talking about the gaol I had just done and my feelings about it. I also mentioned that I was doing some mopping up andjust… Continue Reading
