Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

March 19, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

You can pretty firmly point to Uncharted as the point where Sony adopted its "cinematic" style of games. A mix of Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones, the first Uncharted game is a nice action adventure game that lays the foundation for the rest of the games to follow.

Concrete Genie

March 19, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Concrete Genie is a simple 3D puzzle platformer. It's got a charming, heartwarming story, and a nice gimmick: the main character has a magical paintbrush, and you can pain some really nice designs on walls to help advance through the game.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

March 18, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Yakuza 6 is the continuation and finale(?) of Kiryu's story. Expect all the usual Yakuza stuff here - the serious main story, silly side stories, minigames, etc. - and it looks better than ever.

Yakuza 5

March 18, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Yakuza 5 continues the Yakuza series, and is another good entry. Being the 6th game in the series chronologically, if you've made it this far you know what you're in for.

Yakuza 0

March 15, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Yakuza 0 is one of those games that took a while to click for me. I remember picking it up and dropping it a few hours later, not picking it up again for a couple years. I finally did, and Yakuza has become one of my favorite series ever.

Astlibra: Revision

January 14, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I posted about Astlibra a while back after having played the demo and really enjoying it, and I decided to pick it up during the Steam Winter sale. I've finally gotten around to playing for a few hours and I'm really glad I decided to buy.

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
