The Gate of the Feral Gods review

February 25, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

If you've made it this far in the series, you know what you're getting: silly, fun popcorn reading with some heartfelt moments and hit-or-miss humor that leans a bit more towards hit for me.

Legend review

March 22, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Legend is classic 80's heroic fantasy, full of epic fights, epic deeds, epic men. It has a lot of the same soul that makes characters like Conan so appealing; it's filled with heroism and masculinity and larger-than-life characters.

Pokemon is one of my favorite series, and I was excited for the series first new mainline entry on the Switch. Sword and Shield retain the series gameplay, but I came away disappointed by the missed potential.

I'm a little late this time around, but I did manage to play a few demos form February's Steam Next Fest.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

October 1, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I really enjoy Kirby games. They aren't the most technically advanced or mechanically involved games, and the main story of them is always braindead easy. But they are perfect 'relax, turn your brain off, and enjoy the charm' games, and Forgotten Land is no different.

Jumping ahead a bit in the Ys series from the first two games, we now take a look at a much more recent game, Ys 8. This one uses a completely different style, being a 3D action game with a rock paper scissors party system.

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
