Forsaken Hollows: Making a great game even better
For this week I wanted to do a quick post talking about Elden Ring Nightreign, a game I highly praised earlier this year, and it’s newly released DLC, the Forsaken Hollows! While there isn’t an insane amount to discuss when it comes to the DLC, I still wanted to talk a bit about it given…

We need more games like Elden Ring Nightreign
I didn’t get to talk about it much on last week’s podcast, mainly since we had so much news to get to, but I have been really enjoying the recently released Elden Ring Nightreign! It’s a game that honestly feels tailor made for me. It’s a Souls like, roguelite, coop game I can play with…

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.

Returnal and why genre impacts more than game play
Having just finished up the recently released add-on, Returnal: Ascension, I figured now would be a great time to discussion Returnal, one of my favorite games from last year! And more importantly, the fact that it shows how the genre of a game can impact more than just it’s core game play. So what genre…
