Let me start by saying that I am a total newbie when it comes to gaming. My boyfriend got me into it about two years ago. I have been crazy about video games since then! With that being said… here is my review for Ys 8! Ys 8 is an action-based RPG. According to my

Wow. This game is gorgeous…. and hard as nails. Ori was a blast to play from start to finish. The game follows the little glow fox Ori as he tries to revive the forest in which he lives. A big nasty owl stole the life from the tree that supplies the forest with all its

Carto was another GamePass find! Also another short game, clocking in around 6 hours. Carto is a puzzle game blended with adventure. You play as Carto, the shy granddaughter of a cartographer/airship pilot. She never talks; only reacts with ascii emojis like “;-)” and “<3”, etc. After you accidentally shift a map around, causing a storm to

In what amounts to a lengthy DLC to 2018’s Spider-Man, is a fantastic continuation of that story. All of the same positives I came away with from the first game exist here as well: Great story and game play, fantastic presentation and an epic soundtrack. I will say that the action/story sequences in this title

Yes, Your Grace is a very unique game. It’s considered a management simulator. I had to look up the actual genre because I had no idea. In Yes, Your Grace you have three resources you have to manage: Gold, supplies, and agents. Gold is money, supplies are a generic term for food and resources, and

Found this little gem on XBOX Game Pass. Super Lucky’s Tale is the story of Lucky. A little fox who likes to smack things with his tail and burrow in the ground. One day his sister shows up after her long search for a magical book. Lucky get’s sucked inside and must beat all the

Hades was a huge step outside of my comfort zone. I’m normally a JRPG kinda guy. Even my action games are JRPGS, such as Ys. With that being said, holy crap, it blew me out of the water. I’ve never played a rogue or rogue-lite game before. The addictiveness of getting the stuffing beat out

Astro’s Playroom is probably the star of the PlayStation 5’s launch lineup despite being the pack-in game on the system. What amounts to a glorified tech demo of the PS 5’s DualSense controller and Adaptive Triggers, it manages to capture decades worth of nostalgia in a small unassuming package. This game is a love letter

Having missed out on the original release of this title in 2018, I was excited to see what this game offered, especially with the enhancements the remaster offered. The overall game feels like you’re actually playing a Marvel movie. The city is full of life, vibrant and a joy to explore and soak in. There

You will die….a lot. If you’re looking for a challenging and engaging title then look no further! This game is one of the hardest games you’ll find, and not because the game is unfair or because it’s difficulty unexpectedly spikes; no, no, no. This game is punishing from the get-go and if you make a
