One of the issues with me and any kind of pop culture is that I’m never sure what I will like. I am very sure about things I won’t like, and I am rarely wrong on that front. This is me in a nutshell, though. I know what I don’t like/don’t want much more than what I… Continue Reading
I want to continue my thoughts on what makes a perfect cozy game to me. In the last post, I was talking about relationships and how the better cozy games really flesh them out. In this post, I want to concentrate on what I DON’T want in a cozy game. Or rather, what will turn… Continue Reading
I was going to write about my perfect cozy game in yesterday’s post, but then I went completely off the rails. That’s because I found out the (dismissive and sexist) definition of coz games–by the way, apparently some people think the term started at the beginning of the pandemic and then go on at lengeth… Continue Reading
In between my struggles with getting into Wylde Flowers (Studio Drydock), I’ve been playing a bunch of demos/other games I have in my backlog. They are all independent games, and most of them if not all of them are cozy. I have to say that I’m having trouble getting into any of them, and I… Continue Reading
I have played several demos this year, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I have played a few meaty games, too–well, at least one–and by the time I was done with it,I was exhausted. There have been several soulslikes this year, and I have been very reluctant to play them. Not only because I don’t actually… Continue Reading
In the last few months, I have played several indie games that have left a mark on me. For good and bad reasons in not-so-equal measures. I want to talk about two of them because they have thrilled and frustrated me while playing them, but I appreciate both of them for reaching for the sun.… Continue Reading
I have a confession to make. In addition to my backlog/Steam pile of shame, I have roughly thirty games in my ‘demos’ category. I add them whenever there’s a Next Fest on Steam or a Wholesome Direct. It’s kind of a secondary Wishlist for me, but it’s also a good way to check out a… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about Blue Prince (Dogubomb) because it’s still in my mind. I have not played another run. I want to, but every time I think about firing it up, my brain shrieks in protest. In the last post, I gave my quick opinion on it. One thing I want to point… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was talking about my two top five (six) list of games. One is my list of the FromSoft games and the other is my list of my five favorite other games of all time. I have to do it because otherwise my top five fave list would just be From games.… Continue Reading
Am I making a third post about Balatro (LocalThunk)? Yup. Did I ragequit the game when getting what I considered to be an unfair final boss? Also yup! Did I go back the next day and win the next run? Yup for the third time! Let’s talk about that loss. Before I do, here is… Continue Reading
