Roadwarden

July 12, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I've had Roadwarden on my wishlist for years before release, and for a year or so afterwards. I finally picked it up on a decent sale, and I'm sad to say I'm really not enjoying it.

Brushwood Buddies

February 1, 2026 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Brushwood Buddies is a cute little puzzle game in the vein of Doodle God.

I'm familiar with Christian Cameron through his Tom Swan series, and the Chivalry series shares a lot of DNA with it. Lots of battles, politics, marching back and forth, chivalry, arms and armor.

Trumps of Doom review

January 6, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Slormancer is a game I had never heard of until today, but when I saw it on sale and it looked cool I decided to check it out. It's a singleplayer ARPG in the vein of Diablo and Grim Dawn, and it seems to match up well so far.

The Empire of Silence review

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
