The Ocean at the End of the Lane review

April 20, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I don't normally get along with books classified under "magical realism". It feels like a term made up by authors and publishers who want to write and sell fantasy without getting the fantasy label. That said, while I don't have much familiarity with Neil Gaiman I did enjoy American Gods and Norse...

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the newest game featuring Sackboy, who was introduced in the LittleBigPlanet games. While those games had a campaign, they were mostly focused on user-generated content: millions of levels were created, and while most were junk, there were some gems, just like with...

Classic 2D platformer. You've played Mario, and World is one of his best entries, maybe the best 2D entry.

Abzu

Abzu, much like Journey, is more of an experience than a game. Set in an underwater world, you swim around and explore while some nice music plays. Visuals are gorgeous. It's a nice time to float around and take in the scenery, and a good way to relax for a few hours.

Ryse: Son of Rome

March 12, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Ryse: Son of Rome is a perfectly average game. It's got average gameplay, an average story, and an average length. It's a run of the mill hack and slash game where you play as a Roman soldier seeking revenge for his murdered family. Combat is fun, but makes heavy use of QTEs than can get old...

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
