Next up on my backlog games journey is Cocoon, a short puzzle/sci-fi game. This game pulled me in shortly after beginning due to its fun puzzles and sense of mystery. With very simple controls – only one button for interacting with puzzles – and no dialogue, the game creates an interesting atmosphere to uncover the…

Goose Game came out in 2020, and its simple gameplay involving completing objectives that aim to terrorize an otherwise peaceful town has piqued my interest ever since. Thanks to this game I now have greater insight as to the day-to-day operations of a typical goose. I also learned that geese actually are as chaotic as…

I’ve been curious about the 2018 revival of the God of War series since, well, probably 2018! I say “revival” because it’s actually the fourth main entry to the series, and takes place in an entirely new world with a different pantheon of gods for Kratos to, uh, meet.

Dave the Diver was a delightful adventure that may seem simple on the surface.

While the game can be played solo, it’s meant to be played in teams of up to four – more friends equals more potentially terrifying and/or hilarious scenarios. The premise of…

I was late to the Diablo game, with my introduction to the series being 2012’s Diablo 3 which I started several years after its release. Prior to Diablo 3, I had never tried a dungeon crawling action RPG and I was further intrigued by the story and lore that supports its gameplay. On June 6th…

I tried out Forza Horizon 5 for the first time last year and completely spaced on writing about it even though I had a blast with the game. With Forza Horizon 6 on the horizon (ha ha) I decided now would be the perfect time to jump back into it and remember all the fun…

Continuing on my small trend of testing out games that have yet to fully release, I tried out the Diablo 4 Beta while it was open for testing in March. For a couple weekends last month players who pre-purchased the game were able to experience both the Early Access and Open Beta phases of the…
