Three Days with Lost Ark
Lost Ark is down right now. It went down for a 4-hour maintenance window to prepare for general availability about 9-hours ago. So I suppose now is as good a time as any to come up for a breath of…

Early Tales of Arise ImpressionsDespite some troubling DLC, I'm having a great deal of fun so far.
While it’s true, I ended up scattering many of my plans to the winds, excitement for Tales of Arise carried on through and I’ve been able to spend about 13 hours with it since it came out with the Friday…
102 Minutes with Aliens Fireteam EliteSuffice to say, these are my first impressions and not a review.
Aliens Fireteam Elite is one I’ve sort of cast a side-eye over the past months since it entered my awareness. Right from the get-go, it seemed to be wearing its AA budget on its sleeve. Mostly in the arena of…
Returnal: First ImpressionsAfter about three hours in...
This post was going to be last night! But then a fresh COVID related lockdown happened. World media wasn’t altogether kind regarding the NZ decision to go into lockdown on the basis of a single case. However, come less than…
Exodus at an End
It’s over. Journey’s end, as a player at least, has been reached. Yep. I’ve finished Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition. And phew, what a ride. Without a doubt, a large contributor to my enjoyment was the sheer wonder at the new…

Closing the Loop
No more than a day after my last post, I finished Chapter 4 of Loop Hero successfully for the first time. I really thought that milestone would be at least a few more days out. Without spoiling too much about…
Thrown for a Loop
I went into the weekend assuming I would be playing Valheim. Like everyone else is. I’d even setup some time to play with a friend. Maybe there was going to be a bit of Black Desert Online on the side.…
Early Times in Mount & Blade II Bannerlord
I think part of the reason I’ve been holding out writing about Bannerlord is that as I spent more time with it — I came to a realisation it wasn’t quite as fun as I wanted it to be. Yet.…
Animal Crossing Just Might Not Be for Me
And that is something of a disappointment. As seems to be the case with Switch exclusives — it wasn’t really one on my personal gaming radar. I had no intent to pick it up prior to the day I actually…
A Plague Tale: Innocence
A Plague Tale: Innocence has been on my list of goals for the last two months, and it came veeeery very close to being three. But last night I booted back into it, and didn’t leave until I was finished.…
