All reviewsBloodstained: Curse of the Moon 22020
4 out of 5 starsThe Castlevania legacy can be split into two schools. There’s the classic formula, action platformers where you fight through linear stages against an onslaught of Halloween monsters. The only things you can rely on are your own ability and whatever sub-weapons you can find. On the other end is the Metroidvania style, where character progression is emphasized, stats supersede skill, and randomly dropping equipment…
Kentucky Route Zero2013
4 out of 5 starsUntil the final episode of Kentucky Route Zero released last month, I had no concept of what it was. It was just one of those phrases that floated around the cosmic microwave background, like “accent wall” and “fatty lipids.” They mean something to someone, but not to me. Even when the thing finally came out to cries of celebration and finality, I couldn’t really grasp it. The only snippets of information I could…
Anodyne 2: Return to Dust2019
5 out of 5 starsI made a conscious effort to avoid spoilers in this review, but I think you should experience as much as possible for yourself. If anything you have seen interests you, I fully recommend you play the game. Video games, like all forms of media, are a language. Their words are written with extra lives and spinning coins and red barrels. One's preferred genres become dialects in conversation with other enthusiasts. The…
Pikuniku2019
5 out of 5 starsJanuary is now becoming a month where increasingly “big” games come out. This year, those big games were not so much my thing. Good news is, there are always plenty of “little” games ready for your attention. So it happened that the first 2019 game I played was Pikuniku , an off-the-wall adventure game that left me smiling the whole time. This might have been the quickest turnaround from me hearing about a game to…

All articlesDesire and Despair in the Persona 5 Gacha
Jul 15, 2025
As someone who was, until now, untouched by the taint of gacha games , I encountered many surprises while I played Persona 5: The Phantom X . The first was that all the game’s thunder was stolen by another gacha about horse racing, but the horses are ladies . The second was that Persona is not supported on any of my mobile devices, forcing me to play on the Steam client exclusively during my no...
Reject Switch 2, Return to DS
May 25, 2025
Well, I haven't dumped a block of text on here since the the new year, for a few reasons. Mostly, though, I've been in a kind of gaming funk for a while now. I have indulged almost exclusively in backlog titles this year, with the only new releases being visual novels (and Doom: The Dark Ages, which I'm still sorting out my feelings on). I'm not joking in the least when I say my most anticipate...
JeremyF's 2024 GotY: The Last Dance
Dec 16, 2024
It was a backlog year. My game-playing went in a weird direction in 2024. At the outset, I was psyched for a trilogy of high-profile RPG releases. Once that high wore off, though, I found myself somewhat unmoored. New for this year, I set a purchasing limit to keep my backlog under control. It kind of (sort of) worked, but there was an unintended side effect. I was now scrutinizing every new re...
Quick Hits! Vol. 4: Cozy Comfort Gaming
Sep 23, 2024
Astro Bot! Astro Bot! Astro Bot! Now that game of the year has been settled… My Apes Gone Again So many good costumes for these monkey fellas. As many have pointed out, Astro Bot is essentially the modern Ape Escape game Sony was too cowardly to give us. So heck, why not play some Ape Escape right afterwards? I already replayed the original this summer (to get that sweet platinum trophy). So, i...
Quick Hits! Vol. 3: Summer’s Last Gasp
Sep 3, 2024
It’s been a little while, but The Game Lord never truly rests. We’re all just killing time until Astro Bot releases, yeah? I’ve been playing a smattering of older games while I wait. Back to the ‘90s… Again This colorful, picturesque landscape is just one of the many appealing worlds to explore! There’s a conception in gamer world that if you haven’t played the right titles from the 1990s, you’...
Will I Remember Another Code: Recollection?
Jun 28, 2024
I love the art style they have for character illustrations and wish there were more chances to see it in the game itself. The Switch still represents a golden age for ports and remasters. With hundreds of games finding a new home on the platform, fans continue to beg for more. There are even remakes of games I had never heard of. So it was with Another Code: Recollection , which remakes two gam...
