Graveyard Keeper went on sale in the Xbox store today, the whole package for $13 US. My brother liked it on the Switch (it doesn’t seem to be on sale there), so I decided to check it out. It’s a top down 2D pixel art game, very similar

I honestly didn’t intend to go back to Skyrim. I mean, it’s ancient, for one, and no matter how many fresh coats of paint are applied, its bones still show underneath. And it’s definitely been-there-done-that territory for me, though to be honest, it’s a lot of

My Civ binge didn’t last long this time. I think it’s a fun game, but it’s a little cartoonish, and that starts to wear on me after a while. Humankind didn’t pan out for me; like Endless Legend, an earlier game from Amplitude, it was pretty

I started binging on Civ VI again. I wonder what that says about my state of mind. My gaming has been focused on Civ VI, sudoku, crosswords, and solitaire. I got some speakers for the Xbox’s monitor; now I don’t have to wear headphones to play. I also

I’m impressed with how easy it is to respec (it’s short for “re-specialize”, right?) in Diablo IV. I started out as a lightning mage, but found myself being a glass cannon. I looted a nice legendary staff, but it was centered around frost. For just a bit of

The version of Farming Simulator that I have looks like it’s my best option, though it feels a little limited. And there’s no controller support. Meanwhile, I keep getting bored at the wheel in the main game on the Xbox. Why couldn’t they make the gameplay loop

So I started to do something I regret in hindsight, I started to become an unwanted guest. This is not something I planned or realized at first, but I found out in an extremely awkward way. One night, after spending MANY days pretty much camped out at this friend’s

I’m going to Kentucky this weekend, and my queue of blog posts will run out about that time as well. According to plan, I should be reading and writing, adding things to the queue, but with this dark thing looming on the horizon, I haven’t felt up to

It’s interesting to see how much they’ve experimented with the formula, trying to figure out what’s “core Diablo” and essential to that addictive gameplay loop, and which aspects were left over from earlier dungeon crawlers and more traditional RPGs. But what I never appreciated is how much

Last weekend’s taste of Diablo IV was really, really good. Good enough that it dislodged Diablo III from my mind as the version of the game. Good enough that I stopped playing early on Sunday because I was starting to really sink into it. I decided to save that

So my first death in Valheim came at the hands of a tree. Specifically a log, that had gotten stuck in another tree, like the image above. I had cut down the first tree, and it fell into the second tree. I thought I’d save time and cut down

Got to take Valheim for a spin this afternoon, and it’s pretty neat. Like a grown up Minecraft. I’d like to be able to play on my phone, but the first time I tried, I couldn’t really make out the text. Now that I have a better
