You ever play a sequel and it’s a complete and total let down? Where they screwed up everything good about the first game, and they didn’t improve on anything? Yea, me too. Well good news! Ori and the Will of the Wisps is not that kind of sequel. This is one of the few successors that

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

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

This is actually a prequel to the first two games, and a completion of the “Erdrick Trilogy.”It is by far the best of the three games. You have the main character, and then you have the flexibility to create the rest of your party. There is a tavern in the first town where you can

A very solid classic Ys game, as always. Good music. Fast paced action battles. Difficulty wasn’t as high as Felghana, but bosses still required a little observation and learning to beat. Only three gripes. There was a really weird mechanic you had to master to get some of the off the path items. It was

A prime example of how a game can age like a fine wine. This game does everything it sets out to do perfect. Even going back after playing modern Ys games, this game holds up. Addictive, catchy, and heart pumping music that gets you in the mood to hack, slash, jump and launch magic at

One of the most original games I’ve played. I’ve never felt so emotionally hit after only four hours of playing something. Definitely don’t skip on this short little indie title.You play as two doctors from a company who have created a technology that is basically Inception, and you help dying people grant a wish by
