Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

I'm definitely not a huge fan of the Marvel cinematic universe, though I did see the first 2 GOTG movies and enjoyed them more than some other Marvel stuff I've seen. I was able to pick this game up dirt cheap, and I've heard good things, so I decided to give it a try.

The PS4 MediEvil remake has been on my radar for a long time. I've finally gotten around to playing it, and sadly I've come away disappointed.

One Piece: Volume 1 review

October 24, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I've never been a huge anime fan, mostly sticking to the classics like Dragon Ball Z when I do watch. That goes double for manga - I've never liked comics or graphic novels; and never even really gave manga a try besides a year or two subscription to Shonen Jump back in middle school. Recently I...

The Crystal Cave review

An excellent take on the Arthurian saga that I wish I had read earlier. The old wizard Merlin serves as our narrator, and this first entry tells the story of Merlin's birth as a bastard Welsh prince, up through his childhood and the conception of the future king Arthur. It paints a vivid picture of...

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

I bought this game when it came out on the Switch, and I played the main game but never got around to playing the Bowser's Fury DLC. The main game is fun; much like Kirby's Forgotten Land it's a 3D platformer. I generally enjoy the 2D Mario games more than the 3D, but with Mario you know what...

Pumpkin Jack review

The platforming feels pretty good, and isn't terribly difficult. There are a few spots during tricky sections where the controls can be a...

About

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.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
