Vampire Crawlers: Not so simple fun
While I didn’t play it when it first launched back in 2022, it was impossible not to at least be aware of Vampire Survivors when it hit the scene. The game quickly became known for it’s incredibly simple but extremely addictive game play and was a lot of peoples first time trying a roguelite game.…

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…

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…

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…
