Hawkwood's Sword review

September 7, 2024 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Another excellent entry. This time we follow William Gold as he travels and fights in Savoy, Spain, England, France, and finally Italy, all while navigating increasingly complex political intrigue and personal tragedy. It's as well-written and exciting as the rest of the series.

Damiano review

November 12, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Night in the Storm

Little Game Jam game where you have to make repairs to a lighthouse in a storm. Really simple mechanics, you just run back and forth fixing a couple things, lasting as long as you can before the breakages pile up.

Priest of Crowns review

May 14, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Priest of Crowns is the fourth and final game in the War for the Rose Throne series, and picks up right where the third books leaves off. It is, for the most part, just as excellent as the previous books, and it wraps the story up nicely while leaving the world open for further stories in the...

Priest of Gallows review

May 5, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Priest of Gallows picks up right where Priest of Lies left off, and is similarly excellent and as dark and brutal as ever.

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
