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...

June 3, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks is a forthcoming car combat game in the vein of Twisted Metal. I don't have a ton of experience with the genre, and there's really not many games that fill that niche these days, so I was excited to give this game's free Alpha Test a try.

Portal

June 3, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Believe it or not, I've never actually given Portal a fair shake. It's been in my Steam library forever, and I've played a few minutes here and there, but I've never actually sat down to really play it. Yesterday I randomly thought about it and decided to give it another go.

GRID Legends

I've played GRID games in the past, and they've always been competent arcade racers with a touch of sim. I expected nothing less from Legends, and with it being a May PS Plus freebie I figured I may as well try it out. And that's exactly what I've got - Legends is a competently-made, fun,...

Pokemon Infinite Fusion

May 7, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Pokemon Infinite Fusion has taken the Pokemon fanbase by storm recently. While I've fallen out with the series a bit, having not really enjoyed Sword and Shield and not bothering to pick up Scarlet and Violet, I do still love the series and keep an eye on it. I don't play many romhacks, but this...

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
