Reading Time: 3 minutes There is a tricky balance when it comes to making a game challenging whilst also providing enough fun that the challenge feels worth it. It’s a balancing act that you see in Celeste, Elden Ring and other soulslike games. When that balancing act is done well you feel the challenge and you are compelled to…

Reading Time: 6 minutes One of my favorite types of food on this planet is soups. Why? It’s because it takes simple foods and combines them to make something that’s better than the sum of its parts. The game, High Fi Rush is a lot like that. It takes the grading system of Devil May Cry, the musical timing…

Reading Time: 4 minutes If you read any of my reviews or listened to the Single Player Experience podcast, then you experienced me proclaiming that I hadn’t heard of a game before getting it for review, but was blown away when I played it. The latest example of this is the indie game, Mangavania. So what blew me away…

Reading Time: 4 minutes There isn’t anything like a game that displays a lot of heart. The latest example of this is Lil Gator Game. As kids we’ve all played in one form or another using our imaginations. Some of us used our imaginations to become knights, Jedi, princesses, and everything under the sun. Lil Gator Game takes that…

Reading Time: 5 minutes You know I’ve always admired those that go out and takes a swing to innovative on things that already work. Growing up as a 90s kid in a small Texas town there wasn’t a lot of fun things to do so I often went to my small ass movie theater. Back then you’d get your…

Reading Time: 8 minutes I said this in my review of Horizon Forbidden West, it is hard to do a sequel. There is a balancing act between providing more of what worked before and delivery something new in order to avoid being just more of the same. God of War Ragnarok accomplishes this balancing act in a Godly fashion….

Reading Time: 4 minutes So Wavetale is a game that I knew very little about before I got the game for review. However, it immediately made a solid impression on me. Despite a few flaws, there are many things to like about the game making it an easy game to recommend. Let’s dive into it. The Narrative: In Wavetale…

Reading Time: 6 minutes Sequels are kinda hard to pull off right? This is especially true in video games. The sequel has to recapture the magic of the first one, and be innovative enough that the sequel feels fresh and warranted. It’s a tricky balancing act to pull off. This was the Challenge Horizon Forbidden West faced. When Horizon…
