Indie Horror Games: Like a needle in a hay stack
With cheaper and more easily available development tools like Unity and the Unreal Engine, making your own games has never been easier! This can be seen pretty easily with the rise of indie games in recent years. Games that are developed by one person or a small group with a small budget and normally without…

Pseudo Horror Games: A Gateway to Horror
Like I mentioned in last week’s post, pseudo horror games are a great way to see if you’d enjoy a full on horror experience without needing to completely commit to one. This is because, as you may have guessed, pseudo horror games aren’t really horror games. They are games that have plenty of horror elements…

Spooky Month and why we enjoy being scared
Well it’s that time of the year again! The time to really sit down and enjoy getting scared. That’s right, it’s spooky month! And in honor of that, I decided that every post this month is going to be about horror games in some way. Granted it’s not like I’ve ever needed an excuse to…

Persona and the impact a game can have on you
So this is going to be a bit of a different post from the usual kinds! I wouldn’t really call this a review or a discussion exactly as I mainly want to talk about the Persona series, particularly Persona 4, and it’s impact on me. With Persona 3, 4, and 5 finally branching out from…

Splatoon 3 – It’s just more Splatoon and that’s okay!
I’ve said before in previous posts that I don’t really feel that every game needs to strive to be innovative or groundbreaking. Sometimes it’s perfectly fine to play to your strengths and just keep doing what works. This is something that Nintendo is kind of known for with a lot of it’s games. Just look…

Deathloop – Please give this game a try!
It’s that time at last! The time I finally get an excuse to gush about a game that really deserves more attention. Deathloop. A game released exclusively for the PlayStation 5 last year by Arkane Studios, the makers of Dishonored and the reboot of Prey. Despite releasing such a long time ago, now is actually…

Do games need to be innovative to be good?
So recently I’ve started playing Soul Hackers 2 from ATLUS and it’s been a pretty good time so far! I tend to really enjoy ATLUS and their RPGs like Persona and Shin Megami Tensei so I was pretty confident I’d have fun with Soul Hackers as well. It’s a pretty standard ATLUS RPG though. Great…

Cult of the Lamb – Running a cult shouldn’t be this cute!
I seem to be on a roguelite kick recently! First with Prey: Mooncrash and now with Cult of the Lamb. Both are vastly different roguelite experiences though, but they are similar in a sense give that they both change things up from the usual roguelite formula. Meaning that for someone who is into roguelites but…

Prey: Mooncrash – The most unique roguelite you’ve never played
After having loved my playthrough of Deathloop awhile back when it first came out, I decided to check out some more games from it’s developer, Arkane Studios. They are a developer I’ve always known and heard about but I never actually played any of their games. They are probably most well known for their Dishonored…

The benefits of hard to find secrets in Games
So if you’ve been paying attention to gaming news on Twitter recently you may have seen that Nier: Automata has been trending like crazy despite being a pretty old game at this point. This was mainly due to the fact that a new unseen area of the game had supposedly been discovered. This set the…
