As one of the twelve other people on the planet in the cross-section of Animal Crossing lovers and Travis Scott diehards -- thank you :) Read more

Nice list. I forgot I was going to try Moonlighter. I also just picked up a PSVR and Tetris Effect is on my list of things to get for it. I highly recommend Astro Bot if you have PSVR  Read more

So... you didn’t get to the ship combat or sailing, cultist missions, inventory upgrades, free exploration, leader takedowns, mercenary combat, arena, ability upgrades, hunting, war battles, romance options, tomb exploration... but you got bored. The Ritalin isn't stocked near the video games -- look elsewhere. Read more

Honestly, you could fill the entire list with just Yakuza if you really wanted to.

Since Shenmue HD became available this year, I’d like to add it’s Sega mini-games. If I’m not mistaken, I believe Shenmue was one of the first games to include full mini-game versions of past games. You can play Afterburner and Space Harrier, and even discover a Sega Mega Drive at home. Shenmue not only capitalized on…

Celeste: the Celeste mini-game. Being able to play the original game jam PICO-8 game within Celeste gives me both a ton of appreciation for the work they did on the final product and also a great perspective on how amazingly similar their first iteration was. Read more

I need to get back into my Smash groove before I get to Inkling. I used to be an unstoppable force with Greninja, but I’ve been so out of practice that I can’t seem to handle anyone as fast as Inkling just yet.  Read more

Smash Bros is weird. Because it was clearly created for Nintendo to celebrate their franchises and fanbase and to be a generally fun game, the first one wasn’t even originally scheduled for release outside of Japan. That’s not to besmirch the competitive scene of Smash, they should have the fun they want, it just has… Read more

Thanks for the review, this completely flew under the radar for me and now I’ll have to pick it up!

Yes, both sticks are camera controls so you can zoom in and out as you please. My TV is a bit far away from the couch so I zoom in a bit, but I sacrifice seeing more of the level around the board. Read more

that was a lotta fun to watch, definitely gonna check it out but may stick to getting it on PC due to the controls. As I said in chat - check out Zachtronics games. They make the absolute best thinking puzzle games. I swear their games actually make me smarter. I wonder if they’d ever get ported to Switch....I don’t… Read more

Honestly, I didn’t even get that far in the video before my lunch break ended / I had to get back to Forsaken. I’ll have to check the rest out during my next break from the binge. Read more

1.) Pull cautiously. Pebbles are your best friend(s). Read more

Throwing in with Bloodborne. DS1 is still my favorite in the series, but aside from nostalgia the main reason for that is the game’s map, which is something of a unique experience since FROM seems determined to allow warping back to Home Base . Bloodborne has substantially more satisfying combat while still feeling… Read more

I’m just glad samurai are back in vogue. Read more

I managed to beat 2 bosses in Bloodborne, while I only beat 1 in Dark Souls, so I’d recommend Bloodborne :p Read more

Agreed. Games like Wipeout probably got a LOT of folks into electronic music back when mainstream pop culture was all about grunge and hip-hop. Personally, the original Deus Ex got me into cyberpunk music and, tracing it back, into Detroit techno and then a whole world unfolded from that. Read more

Have you ever played Space Engine (Not to be confused with Space Engineers)? It’s not a game so much as more of a deep space exploration simulation, but if you like buzzing around random planets and moons this might be your cup of tea! Read more

This maybe isn’t relaxing as in “I can tune out and chill while listening to podcasts and stuff” but Katamari is the game I always go to if I need to decompress and cheer up. It’s a game that just kills bad moods.
