Today, I was talking with Ian about how great it is when games have choices that you can make which will influence things later on. He’s playing Horizon Forbidden West right now and mentioned something in the first game that happened in that way. *SPOILER WARNING* Consider this a blanket spoiler warning because I’m going… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about Shadow of Erdtree, the DLC for Elden Ring (FromSoft). Here’s the obligatory: *SPOILER WARNING* I ended the last post with some judicious bitching about Igon, the favored NPC of this DLC. I want to repeat that I don’t hate or dislike him; I just don’t love him the way… Continue Reading
Post three about Shadow of the Erdtree, the Elden Ring DLC from FromSoft. In the last post, I ended by talking about the last boss. Obviously, *SPOILER WARNING* I tried Prince Consort Radahn two times with my Mimic Tear, Thiollier, and Sir Ansbach as my strength character. And got him to half-health. Could I have… Continue Reading

I’m ready to give my definitive (but probably not last) review of Shadow of the Erdtree (FromSoft), the DLC for Elden Ring.

But, it speaks to… Continue Reading
Ed Note: This is part three (and hopefully last) of my Salt and Sanctuary review. As you can tell, I have a lot to say about it. You can read part two here. I uninstalled Salt and Sanctuary last night. I didn’t want to play it any longer, but I found myself thinking, “I’ll just play… Continue Reading
Ed Note: This is part two of my review of Salt and Sanctuary, a game that wears it Dark Souls inspiration firmly on its sleeve. You can read part one here. There will be spoilers abound in this review, so be forewarned. Now, on with the show. I just finished Salt and Sanctuary last night, and… Continue Reading
Salt and Sanctuary is a game that wears its Dark Souls-inspiration on its sleeve. It’s a 2D, side-scrolling, platform, Metroidvania-like Souls game, and I wrote about my first impressions in another post. Now that I’m roughly twenty-seven hours into the game and ten bosses down, I feel I can make a more informed commentary on… Continue Reading
