Are you going to pay for $80 games?
Last week Nintendo fully revealed the Switch 2 with an hour long Direct going over the console, the games, and its release date! Overall, it was a very exciting presentation! If you want to hear more of my thoughts on that though, feel free to give last week’s podcast episode a listen. However, something that…

Why I loved Death Stranding
Similar to my post taking about Elden Ring: Nightreign, I’m not super sure if I should consider this post a Discussion or a Review… I mainly wanted to use this post to talk about why I loved Death Stranding so much now that the sequel has a release date! One that is surprisingly close. So…

Difficult Games for Difficult Times
Man… We are certainly off to a start this year! While I’m sure plenty of people had a good January, lots of other people have already had a rough 2025. Plenty of people getting sick, struggling with price hikes, and some people are currently dealing with a new President making some terrible choices! So I…

Spooky Month 3: Return of the Niche!
It’s finally that time of the year again. The time to chip away at that backlog of horror games as Spooky Month is upon us! Or perhaps just add to that backlog as, just like last year, I’m about to recommend three horror games I think everyone should check out. Unlike last year however, these…

So this is going to be a bit of a different kind of post! Rather than discussing a game or mechanic or anything like that, I want to rant a little about something that plagues all kinds of announcements but specifically video game related ones. I’m of course talking about leaks! A leak is when…

Let’s talk about that Difficulty
When Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree released it was met with some interesting reception. Critics absolutely loved it! Giving it insanely glowing reviews across the board. However, many actual players were pretty divided on it, giving it enough negative reviews on Steam that it was given a Mixed rating at launch! Which is quite…

Are Exclusives a thing of the Past?
Last weekend was Summer Game Fest, a weekend long event that has effectively replaced E3 at this point. Though unlike most E3s of the past we only really heard from one of the major three game makers, Xbox. PlayStation had a State of Play a week before all this but I wouldn’t really count that…

I miss shorter games…
After playing Crow Country last week, it really got me thinking about how much I miss shorter, smaller budget games. Games that you can easily finish in a weekend and don’t cost $70. Those kinds of games are really rare nowadays or at least from non indie developers. If a major developer or publisher is…

We need more Demos
Recently, in an attempt to save some money, I looked over all the subscriptions I currently have to see which of them I actually use. Of those subscriptions, I considered dropping my PlayStation Plus Premium subscription down to a PlayStation Plus Extra subscription after looking at what I’d lose by downgrading. There are a few…
