Dragon Quest Builders 2

January 22, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

As I said in my post on Minecraft Dungeons, I have zero nostalgia for Minecraft. I've always struggled with sandbox games. The lack of any kind of direction is off-putting to me, I need some sort of overarching goal to motivate me to keep playing a game. With that in mind, I've always kind of...

Silk Road review

After finishing ilium I needed a palate cleanser, so I went back to what's probably my favorite genre: historical fiction. Colin Falconer and Silk Road have been on my list for a while.

The Emperor's Sword review

Another superb historical novel of the Middle Ages. We're slowly catching up to the frame story and William Gold is a little older, wiser, and wearier.

Berserk: Vol 1 review

December 4, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I've been interested in Berserk for a while, it's one of the classic manga and a huge inspiration to a ton of the grimdark authors that I enjoy. I've watched about 10 episodes of the 1997 anime adaptation before I fell off; figuring I'd enjoy it better if I had read the manga first. I've finally...

Primordia

I'm a big fan of everything Wadjet Eye touches, especially their Blackwell games, and while they didn't develop Primordia they did publish it, and you can see their hands all over this game. The interface is similar, the graphical style is the same, and if I'm not mistaken I believe some voice...

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
