I grew up at the tail-end of the PS1's lifespan, and was fortunate enough to have parents that would buy games for my brother and I every so often. We had the PS1 Spyro trilogy, and I have fond memories of collecting gems and headbutting bad guys,
With Hogwarts: Legacy releasing in February, and in the mood for a nice relaxing game, I decided now was a good time to go back to the Lego Harry Potter Collection - a set of games I first played back in 2014 on the PC
High on Life is a shooter that plays as a mix of Doom and Ratchet and Clank with a bit of Rick and Morty-ish humor. It plays well, and looks good, but the humor can be a little much.
It Takes Two is another game from the studio behind A Way Out, and follows the same concept. It's played entirely in co-op, with the screen split in half so you can always see what your partner is doing.
American Arcadia is an interesting puzzle-platformer with full voice acting by Yuri Lowenthal. I've played about 30 minutes of it so far, and while the art style isn't my cup of tea, the superb voice acting and interesting premise have me hooked.
2ECONDS TO STΔRLIVHT: My Heart's Reflection is a free visual novel about struggling with identity. Like many of these experiences, it's clearly written from a very personal place.
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
