To the Moon is an experience. Released in 2011, just when indie games were exploding, I had never played anything like it before or since. It's an RPG, but there's no combat. It's kind of a visual novel, but there's some interactivity. The main draw is the story.
Nephise Begins is a walking simulator, and not a great one. Like all walking simulators, there's not much gameplay here. However, Nephise Begins al doesn't have much of a story to carry it along and that makes it not worth playing.
Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition is a rerelease of the original Titan Quest. It's an ARPG in the vein of Grim Dawn and Torchlight. Being a fan of the genre, and of the games mythological setting, I was really excited to play this one. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great time.
Fester Mudd seems like a perfectly adequate, if a little clunky, adventure game. It's got a western theme, nice music, and plays like the old school Lucasarts adventure games.
Bad Hop Baseball is a simple pachinko game with a baseball theme. Each game is 3 innings, and you score runs by getting the ball into slots marked Single, 2B, 3B, and HR. Everything else is an out. The physics bring Peggle to mind, but there's no powers and no series of levels here; you just play...
It's no secret that there's a severe lack of hockey games, and Tape to Tape is yet another indie project trying to fill that void. I spent a bit of time with the demo during Steam's Next Fest and came away mostly satisfied, but a little underwhelmed.
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.
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
