Non-2025 Gaming of 2025
A few days ago, as of the time of writing, a report was shared by Mat Piscatella on BlueSky, and covered by IGN, that indicated that the most played games of 2025 were the exact same as the most played games of 2024. The potential...
The Disappointments of 2025
It’s been a while since I’ve played a truly awful video game. Conceding that point, that doesn’t mean everything I play is flawless. Far from it. Sometimes a game can only be labeled a “disappointment”. This year, these games carry that distinction, even if they may...
The Highlights of 2025
It is that time once more. With 2025 behind us, this is a great moment to reflect on the year that preceded us and what we might learn from it, or improve upon in the year to follow. For me, this was something of a transformational...
Non-2024 Gaming in 2024

The Disappointments of 2022
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...
The Highlights of 2022
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...
Non-2021 Gaming in 2021

The Highlights and Disappointments of 2021
