Great Games Waiting to be Discovered
Sundered is a hard topic for me to talk about, as it is one of the bare minimum of what I would recommend for people to play.

Marlow Briggs is campiness in video game form. It, by all accounts, shouldn't succeed. It is a blatant rip-off of traditional hack n' slash games that were everywhere in the late 00's and early 10's. It's combat is alright, but nothing to write home about, and most of the camera refuses to cooperate most of… Continue reading Marlow Briggs
If there is one word I could use to summarize Star Ruler 2, it would be: Scale. No 4x game I have played has ever gotten the true scope of how big space can be as well as Star Ruler 2. Every single part of this game focuses on the macro scale of performance. By… Continue reading Star Ruler 2
