Donkey Kong Bananza

July 26, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The hype around this game was one of the driving factors in me buying a Switch 2, and after a couple hours of play I can say it's well worth the hype.

I caved and bought a Switch 2. It wasn't even really on my radar, seeing as I didn't really use the Switch much, but after seeing Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart I decided, what the hell. I was able to get one for MSRP. Nintendo games never drop in price and having the console is the only way...

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands

July 23, 2025 | Reading time: 2 minutes

In our never-ending search for more co-op games to check out, my brother and I came across Wildlands. I watched a couple videos, and the freeform sandbox gameplay looked pretty fun, so we gave it a shot.

Word Play

Word Play is the new game from the Game Maker's Toolkit Youtube channel, and the premise is simple and pretty fun.

Grindstone

July 6, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Grindstone is a neat match 3 game with a cool chaining mechanics. It's simple level-based fun, sort of like Candy Crush with some very light RPG mechanics.

Jacksmith: Weapons and Warriors

July 4, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

This is another one of those classic Flash games that's been given a little bit of a facelift and ported over to Steam. Unlike Sonny and Crush the Castle, I didn't have any prior experience with this one.

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
