I want to talk about sequels some more because I can. This is the fourth post about sequels, and I want to talk specifically about the Cozy Grove sequel. I wrote about my impressions of it (Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit (Spry Fox)), but I got stuck on the idea of sequels. I went deep into… Continue Reading
I want to talk about sequels in video games one more time. In the last post, I pointed out some positive things about Scholar of the First Sin, the sequel to the first Dark Souls game. I ended it by talking about a popular FromSoft content creator who was pissed as hell that Elden Ring… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about sequels in video games. I wrote a post yesterday intending to get to Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, the sequel to Cozy Grove. I took a hard detour to Dark Souls II (Scholar of the First Sin) instead, and I’m going tos stay there for the moment. I mentioned how most hardcore… Continue Reading
Let’s talk about sequels. I did A Quick Look at Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit (Spry Fox), which was the sequel to Cozy Grove. Here’s the second part of that review. I only played a few hours because I just could not get into it. I was thinking about why that was because it’s essentially the… Continue Reading
Let’s talk more about Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit (Spry Fox). By the way, I don’t know when the 2 was dropped from the title and why. My hunch is that Netflix wanted it dropped because they did not want it emphasized that this was a sequel. I have no evidence to back it up, but… Continue Reading
Cozy Grove (Spry Fox) is…was one of my favorite indie games. It’s a cozy game, yes, but it also dealt with some heratbreaking issues. The main gist of that game (and this one) is that you’re a Spirit Scout who has to help deceased bears (who are people, but bears) move on to the afterworld.… Continue Reading
I don’t game often, but when I do, I game hard. Or soft. Depending on my mood. I am a mass of contradictions, and I don’t mind admitting it. Some could call it complex. Some could also call it contrary. Some others might simply call it crazy. I would say yes to all of the… Continue Reading
I have not played Monster Hunter Rise (Capcom) today and I’m pretty sure I’m done. I have no desire to play it, which is a pretty drastic change for me because I was all about it just yesterday. Even then, though, the bloom was off the rose. Truly, I jumped into it enthusiastically, charmed by… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I was musing about the game awards I was going to give out this year, a year that was unlike any other. Yes, the pandemic was part of it, and not my favorite part. I’ll be honest with you. It’s very much not my favorite part of this year. But, there was also the… Continue Reading
Before the hospital, I was into three different kinds of games: soulslikes, roguelike-lites, and cozy games. I was playing Cozy Grove by Spry Fox (cozy game, of course. It’s right there in the name), Dorfromantik by Toukana Interactive, which loosely fits into the cozy games category as well, and (sigh) Nioh 2 by Team Ninja,… Continue Reading
