  • Baldur’s Gate III

    Baldur’s Gate III comes from a long line of Dungeons & Dragons computer games. BG3 has been the recipient of numerous awards already, and it’s only recently been released. I originally played the game while it was in early access on Steam, and I’ve only just gotten around to starting the full release recently. I’ve…

  • Star Ocean: The Second Story R

    Star Ocean: The Second Story R

    Star Ocean is a series that is near and dear to me. I’ve been playing them since Star Ocean: Second Story on the PlayStation in 1998. I played the new games as they released, including the PSP remakes First Departure and Second Evolution. While I’ve been a bit disappointed with some of the new entries…

    No Man’s Sky: My Impressions

    Final Verdict: Recommended πŸ‘In Game Time: 246.9 hours No Man’s Sky on SteamNo Man’s Sky on GOGNo Man’s Sky Home No Man’s Sky’s release was plagued with controversy. Promises were made and not delivered. Due to this controversy, I stayed away from this game for a good, long while before giving fair judgement. I’m very…

  • Elden Ring

    What is there to say that hasn’t already been said? Elden Ring is a strong contender for game of the year, if not a shoo-in. Elden Ring is the newest entry from From Software in a long series of brutally difficult action RPGs. It follows on closely from the mechanics of Dark Souls III, with…

  • Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem

    Steam Verdict: Not Recommended after 6.5 hours of playtime. This review is written by someone who has enjoyed the Serious Sam experience since The First Encounter released in 2001. I love a good run through the HD remakes when I get the chance and several of my friends will play through the game in co-op…

  • Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth

    Steam (Original review posted November 25th, 2021) Verdict: Recommended after 2.0 hours of playtime. I played through the early access content (which ended immediately after spoiler-free boss) and I was thoroughly impressed. Between the abilities, the art style, and the gameplay, I felt like this would be a worth successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the…

  • DOOM Eternal

    Steam (Original review posted November 25th, 2020) Verdict: Recommended after 23.8 hours of playtime. (Currently 32.2 hours.) The game is good for a fun romp through Hell killing demons along the way. If you’re a fan of Doom in general, give it a go. But it’s not “all great all the time.” I feel like…

  • Cube World

    Steam (Original review posted November 27th, 2019.) Verdict: Recommended after 0.6 hours of playtime. (Time from alpha play before Steam release not counted.) I purchased Cube World while it was still in the alpha phase, and I lamented at the lack of updates that we all saw for a couple years there. But now it’s…

  • Gal*Gun: Double Peace

    Steam (Original review posted November 21st, 2018.) Verdict: Recommended after 4.4 hours of playtime. It’s a rails shooter with ladies and lewdness. Need more incentive? Well, I can’t offer any more. =)

  • Skyrim: The Elder Scrolls 5 Special Edition

    Steam (Original review posted November 23rd, 2016.) Verdict: Recommended after 26.1 hours of playtime. (Currently 137.5 hours, with 394.7 hours in the classic edition and 3.3 hours in the VR edition.) Skyrim is one of those games that you should play at some point. Is the Special Edition worth the cost? If you don’t own…
