Final Fantasy XVI

June 25, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

I'm not normally one to pick up games on release day. especially not games that cost $70. After I played the FF16 demo though, I knew I had to pick this one up. I'm about 5 hours into the main game, so 7 total including the demo, and while the game so far hasn't quite hit the levels of the demo,...

The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante review

June 17, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Last month I played through a bit of Sir Brante, and over the past week I've finished it. I really enjoyed the game and it's one of the better interactive fiction games I've played, but it's not without a few issues.

A few months ago I gave my thoughts on Grim Dawn after briefly revisiting it following the Diablo 4 Open Beta. I've now finally gone and finished it, and I'm still impressed.

Trackmania

Trackmania is the latest in the Trackmania series, and saw the series shift to a free to play model. I like Trackmania, and have played a bit of Trackmania Turbo on the PS$. That one was most single player, while this one is more of a multiplayer affair.

Thoughts on the Final Fantasy 16 Demo

June 13, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I've never been the biggest fan of Final Fantasy. The peak of the series happened before I was really a gamer, and later entries haven't interested. I'm excited to go back and play the earlier games with the Pixel Remaster, but for now I think I'm going to dive into FF16.

Street Fighter 6

June 4, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

I am not really a fan of fighting games. The inputs are too complicated, and I get frustrated easily when I get destroyed online. That said, I did like Dragon Ball FighterZ, mostly because I like the franchise. I don't have much experience with SF, but after reading reviews and seeing how much...

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.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
