Did you know that, on average, most of the hours people play video games go towards older games from previous years? At least, that was the case last year, and I would be shocked if that was any less true this year. From my own experience, many of the games I played were either rereleases of old...

It feels strange to write a piece like this at the end of 2024. I am not a professional game critic, and thus I am under no further obligation to write this post than what the gremlins in my own head demand from me. And indeed, in a year where those who make and discuss the games I love have been...

While it’s unfortunate that Covid-19 continues to impact our daily lives, and game development timelines, the lack of major releases gave me the time to play both indie games and games that I never got around to when they came out. This list is dedicated to the latter category. Games that I...

Although I would say this past year has been a phenomenal one in the realm of video games, the sad truth is that not every game can impress or amaze. Some of them aren’t great, but many are just shy of being gems, with a critical flaw keeping them from greatness. This list is to bring...

It’s that time again when we all reflect on what’s happened over the course of the last revolution of the Earth around the Sun. This has been an interesting year. At first, I thought that given the continued impact of Covid-19 on game development, there would be fewer games on the list of what...

2021 was another year where we all spent most of our spare time cooped up in our homes due to the circumstances we all live in. That meant more time with our PCs and consoles. Given that many games are being delayed due to the effects of this prolonged pandemic, and release schedules were sparse,...

It has definitely been a unique and terrifying year, in a string of unique and terrifying years. At this point, the state of the world is such a belabored topic that it’s become its own joke of sorts. So rather than dwell on that, let us take a moment to reflect on the games that came out in...

It’s that time once more, for us to reflect on the year and think about how we can do better in the year to come. Obviously, I don’t need to tell anyone reading this that 2020 hasn’t been great, but that doesn’t mean good games didn’t come out. Pickings are slightly slimmer than they...

Now that I’ve gotten all the positivity of gaming in 2018 out of the way, it’s time to go into the games that left me unsatisfied. As per usual, just because a game is on this list doesn’t make it necessarily bad. All it means is that, either or technical issues or questionable design...

Another year has past, and with it another assortment of fantastic games. It seems that as the years go by, I find it harder and harder to keep up with the near constant flood. Even if I quit my job and spent all my free time playing, I'd never be able to come close to touching all of the...
