Replaying games is a risky business and one that I have rarely partaken in over the years. Mostly because of the overwhelming number of new releases I need to keep up with, but also because it’s been a cardinal rule of mine for a very long time. Unless it’s a sandbox game with no ending, […]

Alright, I might be a little late to this party, but Starfield was pretty awful, right? I’ve been a fan of Bethesda games ever since my first foray into Morrowind many moons ago, but there’s just no denying that Starfield was a prime example of developers being so entrenched in the idea of asking if

I don’t know about you guys, but I have always seen gaming as a pretty solitary venture. I’ve never been one to participate in online lobbies or play multiplayer games, and for the most part, single-player games are my jam anyway. Yet despite this, I’ve still got that craving for human connection when playing these

For those of you who don’t follow my every move, which will be all of you, I’ve been playing Hollow Knight. A game that I played for a few hours and then bounced off many years ago because, for the most part, I hate metroidvanias. There have been exceptions to this rule, like Carrion, Yoku’s

When it comes to indie games, especially on PC, it’s very hard to escape the fact that Steam is the home of Indies. We even have an article that says as much. However, if you’re someone that’s thrifty and wants a good deal, you might consider looking elsewhere for Indie Games, in the hope of

Big corporations focus on many things with their games. One of the biggest pushes recently is making characters represent minorities, which sounds good in concept but can often be executed poorly. Triple-A games have constantly made the worst LGBTQ+ characters, with indie games trouncing them in every single way, and I’m tired of pretending that
Why AAA Games Suck At Representing the LGBTQ+ Community Read More »
It’s a tale as old as time: when we find something we love, whether it be a game, a movie, a TV show, or a celebrity, we tend to want to showcase that in any way we can. Sure, we can do this by shouting from the rooftops why our beloved media is the best

I should probably start this argument off with an immediate contradiction. I love cozy games. I have been a consumer of cozy games since way before there was a Wholesome Direct dedicated to them. I love nothing more than setting aside a AAA open-world game I have been obliged to review to play a little

It was a last-minute stroke of dumb luck that led to me attending Gamescom 2023. Xbox Fanfest is always held in different locations globally, and this year it coincided with Gamescom in Cologne Germany. There’re always thousands of entrants for a limited number of tickets, so I never dreamed that I’d end up attending. Sure
