Diablo IV

November 24, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I really like ARPGs. Back in the day I played a bunch of Torchlight, and more recently I played Diablo 3 and Grim Dawn. Diablo remains the gold standard in terms of polish, and with Diablo 4 on sale I decided to give it a go.

I'm always on the lookout for new tycoon games. I grew up playing RollerCoaster Tycoon, and while OpenRCT scratches that itch, I haven't really found a substitute for Zoo Tycoon, another favorite. Let's Build a Zoo has been on my radar for a long time, and was recently on sale, so I picked it up.

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
