Why I Didn’t Finish – Horizon: Zero Dawn

When robot dinos ruled the earth. What’s this? A new series? Yes, in a world where I have not one but two small children to raise and adore, I’ve sort of decided that I don’t need to finish games anymore. Yes, this isn’t entirely new to me. Everyone starts games they don’t finish after all, […]

Grading Pokemon Scarlet/Violet

It’s not very effective. Oh, hi. I’m not dead. Yes, I see that my last blog post was back in January. I’ve been busy. Did you know some babies get very active at night? Anyway, speaking of babies, let’s talk about Pokemon. The last time I talked about any Pokemon game was Pokemon Shield back […]

I Have Words on My Ranking of Games I Played in 2025

Judging the new and the old. It’s generally agreed upon that 2025 was an excellent year for the gaming medium, which is why it sucks that I am growing increasingly incapable of actually keeping up with any of it. There were some good and interesting games released this year, from the obvious highlight of Clair […]

Grading Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

I moved it with my freaking mind. If you had told me that Hollow Knight: Silksong and Metroid Prime 4, two games thought to be in development hell, would both release in the same year, I would have called you crazy. But here we are, in the final days of the year where we got […]

My Horror Game, What Hides in Dreams, has a Demo!

And just in time for Halloween, too! Download the demo on Steam! Greetings, internet! I’ve been chipping away at a horror game for over a year now, and finally have something to show for it. Today, I’ve released the demo for my upcoming horror game, What Hides in Dreams! It’s a psychological horror game where […]

Grading Hollow Knight: Silksong

A bug’s life. I have people that occasionally ask me “hey, have you ever played Elden Ring?” They seem to forget that I’ve answered this question before, so my response is typically “no, I’m not a masochist.” But I guess I can’t use that excuse anymore, for Hollow Knight: Silksong, the long awaited sequel to […]

The Backlog Variety Hour – Volume 5

The insurmountable mountain begins to look surmountable. Previous Backlog Variety Hours: Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3 Volume 4 Yup, still doing these. I think it’s legitimately the only way I can ever seriously crack down on my backlog of games. Fun fact about my backlog, by the way. At time of writing, it’s at […]

Grading Doom: The Dark Ages

When Doomslayer throws his mighty shield. Well, talk about a change in formula. Where Doom 2016 kept us relegated to a science facility on Mars and Eternal took us to Earth (and obviously both games took us straight to hell too), Doom: The Dark Ages has opted for something far more medieval. And the setting […]

I Have Words on Ideas for Smash 6 Features

The things that could be. Speculation for what Smash 6 will be has been going on even before the last DLC was added to Smash Ultimate, with a lot of people focusing on the roster in particular. That’s understandable, as most people realize that Ultimate’s massive roster is a once in a lifetime thing and […]

Grading Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

Hungry like the wolf. These days, SNK is more known for their King of Fighters series of fighting games, itself a crossover of various SNK IP including Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, and of course Fatal Fury. That last one will be the topic of today’s review, in case you are incapable of reading titles. You […]
