Berserk really starts to hit its stride in this third volume. We finally confirm that the story being told so far is actually somewhere in the middle - or near the end - of the plot, and we get some nice scenes showing Guts' origin story.
What an absolutely fun, funny, and wildly imaginative movie. Made with stop-motion and weird little animal figures, Fantastic Mr. Fox is an excellent animated film.
Grave of the Fireflies is an unrelenting, beautiful portrayal of the horrors of war and a child's loss of innocence, and is a huge tonal shift from my only other Studio Ghibli experience, My Neighbor Totoro.
Grindstone is a neat match 3 game with a cool chaining mechanics. It's simple level-based fun, sort of like Candy Crush with some very light RPG mechanics.
This is another one of those classic Flash games that's been given a little bit of a facelift and ported over to Steam. Unlike Sonny and Crush the Castle, I didn't have any prior experience with this one.
I gave Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon a try with it being on a deep sale. I'm really bad at Tetris-like and match 3 games, and at its core that's what this one is.
My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.
My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.
Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
