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…

Category for one-off posts on video games I will probably not make multiple posts about.
Revisiting Forza Horizon 5
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…
The Diablo 4 Beta Experience
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…
Sons Of The Forest in Early Access
It may come as a surprise that Sons of The Forest – a survival/crafting horror game – is one of my most anticipated games of 2023, as I can recall many hours of hijinks (and scares) from its predecessor: The Forest. Since Sons of The Forest hit Early Access in Steam this February and I…
Gaming Highlights of 2022
I am never lacking for new games to play, whether they be actual new releases or just games I haven’t gotten around to trying yet. My Steam library is filled with titles I’ve purchased and plan on playing at some abstract point of time in the future. Occasionally I will play those games, or there’ll…
Pokémon Violet
The latest main entry in the Pokémon series released on November 18th, and it seems to be a popular topic of discussion online for better or for worse. While most reviews I’ve seen for the game are positive, the state in which the game released can’t be ignored. The ninth and latest generation of Pokémon…
Beginning Mass Effect
I began playing Mass Effect after it had been sitting, uninstalled, in my Steam library for many months. I bought it after waiting for the Legendary Edition to go on sale – the Legendary Edition being a remastered collection of all three games in the original trilogy (Mass Effect: Andromeda is separate.) Being a huge…
Hollow Knight was not a Hollow Experience
I recently finished Hollow Knight, after having tried to play the game three times and getting distracted each time. The world of Hallownest is a big one which offers a non-linear journey which is great for exploration and adventure and terrible for my attention span apparently. Don’t get me wrong, I loved every minute of…
Stray: A Short but Sweet Adventure
The adorable game where you play as an orange tabby inexplicably wearing a backpack was announced in 2020, and wouldn’t be released for another two years. I was immediately drawn to the world in which Stray takes place, with it’s abandoned cities and fascinating sentient robots. It felt cyberpunk, but also post-apocalyptic. Beyond that, I…
