Backlogged: Horizon Zero Dawn
Every once and a while I’ll get around to playing one of those critically aclaimed games that’s come out in the past 10 years. I have an amazing propensity to avoid spoilers and/or forget spoilers by the time I get around to playing or watching something. Horizon Zero Dawn was everywhere when it came out.…

GRIME: A Souls-like Where You Won’t Lose Souls
For this months Blaugust Reviews Humble Choice I took on the task of playing GRIME, a souls-like, metroidvania developed by Clover Bite. I played GRIME for just over two and a half hours which, honestly, was about an hour and a half longer than I thought I’d spend on it. I don’t typically last long…

Demon Turf – March 2023 Humble Choice
I like 3D platformers as a concept but, admittedly, I haven’t played a ton of them. Which is why I chose to take a look at Demon Turf for this month’s Humble Choice. It has an interesting ascetic and I thought it would provide a fresh gameplay experience. I played about two and a half…

Fallout 76 Frustrations – February 2023 Humble Choice
One of the reason’s I like Humble Choice is getting to try out games I wouldn’t have bought in the first place. I’ve found a couple games this way that, at first glance, didn’t look like my thing but turned out to be really fun. Sometimes those games just don’t click for me. Fallout 76…

February 2023 Goals
January was all about Elite, Elite, Elite. I didn’t play much else and I defiantly did not write about anything else. Last month I started my career as a Commander, I took a trip out to the Eagle Nebula and found a prison colony, I talked about some third party tools I’ve been using, took…

You Want How Many Landmines?
This week I’ve been hanging around my adopted home station, Aleksandrov Gateway, in LHS 115. It’s a small station in a small system with about 10.4 million inhabitants. However, it’s got a lot of ships available and modules available in one place so I’ve parked all of my ships here for the time being. I’ve…

Back to the Bubble
The trip back to the Bubble included a bit more sight seeing along the way. It did take quite a bit less time though, mostly because I wasn’t stopping at every biological signal I found. With the credits I made from my trip out I had more than enough. Still I made a point to…

Essential Third Party Tools for Elite: Dangerous
Essential third party tools may seem like a misnomer. Surely, an eight year old game has everything it needs baked in to it at this point but that’s just not the case. While there are plenty of in-game tools they just don’t offer the level of information that you would expect. For example, the trade…

Into the Black
Last week, I started my first long trip out of the Bubble to the Eagle Nebula which is about 6,000 light years outside of civilized space. It’s a trip I had planned to take back in 2018 and made it about halfway before turning around to rush back to the Bubble when some friends wanted…

A Commander Once More
It’s been a long time since I was this engaged with Elite: Dangerous. In fact, it’s been about 5 years since I’ve posted about it which is probably the last time I was playing.I made a few attempts to play in VR earlier last year and, while it looked amazing, re-learing all of the controls…

Take Me to Space
This weekend, I found myself with an intense desire to play a space game. Maybe it’s because I just finished Ghost Song and wanted to continue with the scif-fi theme. Or maybe it’s because I’ve finished two very long games over the past couple months and wanted to play something different. Maybe it’s just a…

A Look at Blade Assault
Blade Assault is 2D, action rouge-lite, platformer with an emphasis on action. It’s available in this month’s Humble Choice and it’s the game I’ve taken for a spin for UnwiseOwl’s communal monthly Humble Choice Review. The first thing that drew me to Blade Assault was the flashy, fast paced combat featured in the trailer. The…
