Single Player Games and Local Co-Op with Parsec
My best friend, Jay, and I live 2 states away from each other. We’re always looking for ways that we can play games together. It’s great when a game has online multiplayer but if it doesn’t we either have to get creative or not play it. One thing we’ve been chasing after for a long…

Starting up in Neverwinter
I’ve been dipping my toes into Neverwinter for the past few weeks. It’s one of those games that I kind of forget about until I see it has an update. And it seems like it’s updated consistently. It’s also a game that I’ve never given a good chance. What initially got me interested was Telwyn’s…

Backlogged: Little Nightmares
Time to Finish: 3 hours That’s right, 3 in a row finished! To be fair here, I only had about an hour of Little Nightmares left from my previous attempt to finish the game. I’m not sure why I stopped, I probably got stuck in a room and never went back. I’m horribly impatient with…

Backlogged: Old Man’s Journey
Time to Finish: 103 minutes A short post for a short game. I didn’t know what to expect going into this. I don’t even know how this game ended up in my library. Which probably means it’s from a humble bundle of some kind. From the screenshots, it looks like some sort of point and…

Backlogged: To The Moon
Time to Finish: 3 hours I went into To the Moon with very little knowledge. You see, I pride myself on my uncanny ability to avoid spoilers aka I know when to stop reading things…So the only thing I knew going into this game was that it was an RPG Maker game and it was…

My Next 5 Games to Finish
So far my goal of only purchasing a few games this year has been going well. I’m not entirely sure I’ll make it through the entire year, there’s bound to be something interesting released that I didn’t account for. I’ve found myself not hunting through the Steam Store when I don’t know what I want…

Backlogged: Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning
Time to beat: 52 hours and 55 minutes (Main Story and as many side quests as I could find.) Now you might look at this and say I disliked more things than I liked and objectively that’s true from the list below. However, I really enjoyed my time in Amalur. The story, the little…

Nearing the End of Amalur
I’ve finished up the desert zone Detyre and I can confidently say it is my least favorite zone. The Gnomish city of Adessa wasn’t only confusing to run around, there were a bunch of Gnomes there who thought they were better than me and kept saying so over and over again! Detyre itself was, ok.…

Fleshing out Amalur
While the dialog and books do a fantastic job of expanding on the general lore of Kingdoms of Amalur, it’s the side quests that flesh out each zone. Much like an MMO, the open world is split into zones with their own names and subsequent quest hubs. Completing a zone is satisfying, it plays on…

The Slow Road Through Amalur
I’ve settled into a nice groove with Kingdoms of Amalur. Lately, it’s been taking up most if not all of my solo gaming time. At 30 hours in, I find myself in Rathir, the city of the Dokkalfar (Dark Elves) which is where I thought I left off playing on PS3. I can’t be sure…

Backlogged: Pokemon Shield
This is a rare event indeed. Not only did I buy Pokemon Shield but I played it all the way through with very little breaks. Yes, my dear friends, I have become the Pokemon Champion of the Galar region in just a few week’s time! This year (or rather last year) my wife and I got…

Questing with Urgency
I ran into an interesting Reddit thread last week that I can no longer find. The jist of the discussion was about how different people tackled open-world RPGs, especially when it came to questing. Typically, when I find myself in an RPG I follow the same pattern. Create a character, do the intro exposition main…
