Cuno enrages me. Between him defiling my victim with rocks, besting me in a fight, and calling me homophobic slurs, the rabid, speed-addled 12-year-old is viler than the actual perpetrators of the murder. And yet, despite all the foul language and frustrating actions, it’s hard not to grow attached to the little monster by the …
Disco Elysium’s Thoughts are beautifully horrific. While my first experience with obtaining the Inexplicable Feminist Agenda Thought was to gape in horror and nearly leave the room, it was hard not to grow fascinated by the mish-mash of limbs swarming a lady’s face. Though our Thought Cabinet may be more terrifying to behold than most …
Measurehead is a giant hulking jerk. Standing nearly a head and a half taller than us with enough muscle to make bodybuilders squeal, the massive man is an intimidating, if not infuriating, obstacle to overcome. Even if there’s some truth to his mockery of us (we are a miserable drunk, there’s no getting past that), I …
The Hanged Man is ruining our life. After personally failing this corpse in every way possible, including accidentally shooting him in the chest, caving his skull while unsuccessfully retrieving evidence, and having Measurehead mangle his body beyond recognition, I can attest to the sheer challenge this rotting corpse poses. Luckily, in typical Disco Elysium fashion, …
Ascension mode is cruel. From its enhanced enemies to its unforgiving events and a second final boss, this challenge modifier offers the ultimate trial for anyone mad enough to master Slay the Spire. Even if we’re at peace with our skill level, beating all 20 levels of the sadistic mode grants us three unique achievements …
The Silent is Devastating. Wielding a vast arsenal of shivs, all-powerful poison, and discarding curses, the deadly warrioress is well-equipped to dominate nearly every inch of Slay the Spire. While her moves can confuse players unfamiliar with poison mechanics or how to build discard decks, a proper Silent build can obliterate the corrupt heart in …
Hollow Knight is a long journey. With nearly 40 different bosses, 15 different areas, and DLC that can last longer than the base game, we can easily find ourselves spending dozens of hours dying at the White Palace or trying to escape Deepnest to no avail. And yet, for players that know their way around …
The Broken Vessel broke my heart. From its post-death reanimation to its final cry for help, our deformed sibling is a sad, challenging boss to fight. Even if we’re not emotionally attached to our abandoned brethren, the Broken Vessel safeguards a powerful double jump ability that forever transforms the rest of our journey. In this …
Temmie is wonderfully strange. Between her boundless joy and wacky antics, it’s hard not to grow fond of the lovable, slightly ominous cat/dog monster. However, despite her quirky personality, Temmie is relegated to a single room and is easy to miss on a first playthrough. In this Temmie Undertale guide, I’ll review how to fight …
Cults management sims are wacky. Whether we’re sacrificing our followers to an Eldritch being from the great beyond or poisoning the punch for giggles, cult sims offer an excellent power trip for the morally ambiguous entrepreneur. While most cult management sims have stuck to core elements of managing a secret society, like Cult of the …
