Yakuza: Like A Dragon — Early Impressions
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is among this month’s Humble Choice selections. And without any preamble — I’m just going to jump in and say that did I not already own it, I would’ve jumped in this month to pick it…

Symphony of War Early Impressions
My very first impressions of Symphony of War were… not excellent. I set it aside after the initial tutorial sequence, clocking in at less than 30 minutes. But what I disliked had nothing to do with the game Symphony was,…
Islands of Insight Impressions
This game came completely out of left field for me. I’m told there was a demo during a recent Steam Next Fest, but I didn’t play it. I didn’t even know it existed then. I heard about it from an…
Marvel Midnight Suns Early Impressions
Marvel Midnight Suns is in this month’s Humble Choice bundle, but that’s not how I got it. I picked it up right at launch, in December 2022. It had sort of a summer blockbuster feel and looked like it might…
Coming Games of Interest — Early 2024 Edition
A bit late, but Merry Christmas if you celebrate it, and Happy New Year as well! I’ve been sitting on this post for a couple of weeks now, after discovering (possibly re-discovering?) that Granblue Fantasy Relink is very soon to…
Rolling Credits on Alan Wake 2
I never played Alan Wake the first. Not much anyway. Certainly not to completion. I have only the vaguest recollections of starting it up a time or two, I don’t even really remember my impressions. Did I drop it because…
“The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes” Impressions
Normally I’d call these posts taking a look at the Humble Choice games “Early Impressions”, but I sort of broke the mould with this one and went ahead and finished it. Not to say I 100%’d it and got all…
Conflicted Interests
Armored Core VI sat incredibly high on my wishlist. Dave the Diver was an off-the-cuff purchase-on-a-whim type thing. So when the two came together, there should really only have been one possible outcome. The brutal massacre of any desire to…
*Yawn* Is it Gamescom time alread- Wait, there’s a Looter Shooter?!
Alright, I might not be quite as cranky about Gamescom (and similar events) as Pete, but we’re alike in that my hype for them has also waned over the years. I mean- I don’t mind the flood of trailers that…
Titan Quest II Announced…Wut?
This announcement comes as something of a surprise to me. But perhaps if I’d been paying a little more attention, it wouldn’t have. Turns out, Titan Quest Anniversary Edition has been receiving additional expansions, one as recently as December 2021.…
Screenshot Saturday: Wayfinder
After a few extra days delay from the intended original Early Access launch date, and some significant server woes aside… I managed to get into Wayfarer for about… 20 minutes! Maybe less! I got through the basic tutorial section and…
