The Longing (Steam) Review

I love experimental, high concept games. They are a great way to break up the flow of my gaming hobby by introducing an interesting concept, design, or storytelling mechanism. These sort of games typically try to expand the meaning of what a game can be. Walk across the continental United States collecting stories, investigate strange occurrences on an island with a strong sense of deja vu, go on ...[Read More]

Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry Review (PC)

Is it possible to make a blandly inoffensive adventure game that focuses on sex-comedy and the hookup culture of 2018?

These were the major questions I had going into a playthrough of Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry, a sort of but not quite re...[Read More]

Backlog Burndown #26 – Mine(crafting) The Backlog

Greetings Backloggers! Whoa boy, it has been a while since the last one of these, hasn’t it? Packing up the operation and moving to a new long-term location didn’t do good things for backlog progress.

The same ca...[Read More]

ReviewTubers: Pushing Up Roses

When it comes to video-based media I love movies and tv shows, but above everything else the last few years I find myself consistently watching regularly releasing content on YouTube. My favorite content to watch is a small corner of creators who specialize in Game Reviews, some of them more serious, others more silly, but most are a mix of the two.

Thimbleweed Park Review (Nintendo Switch)

Nostalgia is everywhere you look today. From remakes to remasters to reunions, the past has made it to the present and is filling the void left when a certain piece of media’s credits finished rolling. Thimbleweed Park is an interesting take on nostalgia, because if you were to simply look at this point-and-click adventure game from Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert, you may think it was bro...[Read More]

The Little Acre Review

Released at the tail end of December, The Little Acre kind of got lost among the shuffle of big budget releases and Steam/PS4 sales. That’s unfortunate, because this game is a gorgeous, bite-sized love letter to the classic LucasArts adventure games of the ‘90s with modern control sensibilities and a humor and writing style all its own.
