My next game is Atomfall! I’m 5 hours in and it’s such a blast. The customizable difficulty settings make this very accessible for everyone. I have the combat tuned down but the exploration set to Hard as not knowing where anything will take you makes it fun. Its also GORGEOUS!

Man what a game. 66 hours later, my journey to protect Thedas comes to an end. While not a perfect RPG, it was damn fun and so enthralling. If you haven’t already, give it a shot.

also been adding a TON of games to my wishlist.
- Tides of Annihilation looks SO good. Hope it comes sooner than later.
- Cautiously optimistic for Lost Soul Aside
- Definitely giving Atomfall a shot. Looks like the type of game I’ve been craving.
- Buying Eternal Strands. Looks like a gamey game

Post your favorite game from the Wii!
Mine is definitely Kirby’s Epic Yarn. I remember seeing a commercial for this and BEGGING my mom for it. I loved every minute of this.

Welcome to the club friend. Making a spreadsheet helps. This is about 2 years of gaming for me. Easier to make it through your backlog when you don’t force yourself to play something as seen in my Red games (dropped games).

✅ Good plot twists
✅ A lot of character development
❌ Choices felt like they didn’t matter for anything
❌ Some iffy plot armor
This is my 2nd favorite Life is Strange game. Loved the setting & characters

Game Review #5: Life is Strange: Double Exposure
✅ Strong first 3.5 chapters
✅ Some good characters
✅ Good power for plot purposes
❌ Many plot details dropped & questions left
❌ Characters overly lustful
❌ Ending rushed & incomplete
❌ Awful writing for the last 1.5 chapters
5/10 glad I rented

2025 Game Review #1: Genesis Noir
While this game has a wonderful art style and soundtrack, it lacks in narrative. You get the overall story of the game quickly but it just loses itself and drags for the last 2 hours. I was drawn in by the “try to stop the Big Bang” but quickly lost interest. 6/10

Started #LifeIsStrange2 earlier this week and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The characters are so likable and have so much depth to them.

I have a bad habit of starting a book, reading 50ish pages, then not picking it back up for a few weeks. Then once I pick it back up I get past the introduction and realize it’s really fucking good and then start to blaze through it. Exhibit A:
