So, it's finally here: Hogwarts Legacy. It's been an emotional rollercoaster for Potterheads since, well, pretty much always honestly. But it's finally here, isn't it? Something that once we ruminated on as a possibility actually exists now. I grabbed a little bit of gameplay way back in February, wondering if the storytelling was going to be up to par. Since then, I've picked it up again on console and I played it for several hours--and got into some of the real fiber of the game. I have to say that it is quite good honestly. If you ever dreamed of…

Ah, yes, a glorious sunrise in Minecraft valley amongst the idling cattle, rolling waters, and orange pattern of rain among my hermit-bound existence in the randomly generated terrain. For the record, I don't totally remember exactly what it was that I set out to do to do with all this stuff. There is definitely stuff in this game though--glorious stuff! First off, relax. Also, if you need to relax you might want to try creative mode when you first start the game. There are two modes, survival, and creativity. Survival includes fleeing and thumping creatures with sticks of all sorts,…

Here are my thoughts on all the vast building and crafting systems, quests, and exploration features that make this game so good.

Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition touches my heart in a way that's genuine and welcome. It's one thing for a game to speak of the hereafter as a storyline, but another to make one truly wonder as this game does. It is also an excellent example of intentional gameplay that makes you want to keep going deeper and reveal all its fruits. I'll share with you why Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition combines the deep spiritual context of its story with a dynamic visual representation that won't cheapen your spirit, nor your time.

The ability to transfer screenshots from the Nintendo Switch can be ironically confusing with all the support for social media the console has.

The game is Stardew Valley. To the inaugural conception of this blog, I have overlooked one game without process to a fault. This is partially due to highly unnecessary and totally imagined intimidation. I've always possessed a de facto reverence for this game too, as it is lauded by nearly everyone who has played it. In the last few days before this article, something started happening that made its brilliance totally obvious to me, and I'm rushing to get it all down here. One, I set aside some appropriate sit-down time to try the game and figure out what it's about. Two, all roads seem to lead to Stardew Valley, and it is this which has unlocked my opinion.

Cult of the Lamb is an Odd but Amusing Game

I've been waiting way too long to try Cult of the Lamb. From its conceptual uniqueness to its popularity, I've been waiting (shudder.) I like to ask why people do certain things--like why everybody from a certain culture believes in the same thing but others don't. OR: Why does this cute indie game exist about a tiny lamb who is forced to destroy hordes of cultists and collect woodland creature followers to build a powerful cult of his own? Isn't that a bit... much? But this isn't an anthropological midterm, it's just the type of indie quirk I love. So…
