Thoughts on the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Beta

August 29, 2025 | Reading time: 2 minutes

I've played some of the previous Sonic kart racing games, and they're pretty fun. This latest one, CrossWorlds, was not really on my radar, but it was on Steam with a free network beta test, so I gave it a quick shot.

Torchlight II

August 23, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Torchlight series (at least the first 2 games) is an excellent, pretty simple ARPG in the vein of Diablo. They have cartoony graphics, and simple but fun gameplay.

Titan Quest II

August 8, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

In a rare move for me, I bought an Early Access game. Titan Quest II has launched into Early Access, and it's currently on sale for less than half of the full price, so I decided to pick it up.

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
