Sun, sand, sea, and what feels like an eternity to enjoy it; that’s what we all dream of, right? It’s why we work tirelessly for our paychecks so we can live a jet-set lifestyle. It’s why we break our backs often doing things out of obligation when we would rather be playing video games. Then …
Fishing minigames have been a staple of adventure and survival games for decades. Whether fishing in Stardew Valley or Final Fantasy XIV, I love casting my line into the unknown because I never know what I will find. In a way, fishing presses the same buttons in my brain as gatcha games, where every cast …

While the Roguelike genre may have taken off with games such as Dead Cells or Enter the Gungeon, a newer and mildly more balanced genre is the Roguelite, basically, just a game where you can get upgrades and consistently make your character stronger while still delving into new and random levels every time you play. …
Right at the top of this article, there is one thing I need to come clean about – I have an undying love and passion for Dead Cells and the world of Castlevania. While I may have been only a twinkle in my father’s eye when the original games were released, I have poured over …

Allow me to be very honest. I primarily wanted to give this game a whirl solely due to my loyalty to Bellular. I’ve been following him on YouTube for years (mainly his World of Warcraft content, but I have steadily branched out to other topics he covers). From all the content I’ve consumed, one thing …

I’ve championed the walking simulator genre for quite some time. Ever since a teenage version of myself decided to give Gone Home a try, but it’s been a while since I’ve had a title in this genre truly resonate with me. There have been attempts, and good ones at that, in the form of Everyone’s …

As someone who was born in the 1990s, the point-and-click era of gaming is something that was a big part of my introduction to gaming.
