Review – Dead Cells (PC)

I have to full be upfront here. When I first started playing Dead Cells, I hated it. Well, I liked it, but grew to hate it. I reminds me a lot of Rogue Legacy in it's presentation, but it's quite a bit faster and more difficult than Rogue Legacy is. I really really liked Rogue Legacy. Dead Cells also feels a lot like a Metroidvania title, though many will argue it's not really a Metroidvania game, it has a very similar gameplay feel, even if the actual loop is different. It's closer to being a Roguelike platform game than a…

What I’ve Been Playing Recently

It's been a bit, so it's been a bit busy I suppose. I'm going to mostly push off my current "regular games" a bit with Fortnite and Sky. just for some discussion about what else I've been playing. Death Stranding Funny enough, this isn't the only game I'm playing at the moment with "dangerous rain". Sky has a zone of rain that harms you when you're standing in it. Though, they call it "Time Fall" in Death Stranding, and it's a Hideo Kojima game, so it's full of weird unexplained shit that may or may not eventually be explained. The…

What I’ve Been Playing Recently

I wonder if those titles should be more distinct or if it even matters. Anyway, I "completed" one game this week. Actually I sort of "beat" two games, but I forget how I have counted the Fortnite Battle Passes. Let's call it one for now. The Fortnite BP technically goes to Level 200. F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch Man, that acronym. Someone really wanted it to stand for FIST. This was one of the free games from Epic over the Holidays that they push every year. It looked interesting from the animal characters and Steampunkish design then I noticed it's…

What I’ve Been Playing Recently

# What I've Been Playing Recently I like the idea of this sort of regular, generic post, but I don't really want to give it a schedule, so I'm just going to throw em out whenever, for now, I think.  Considering this si the "first" one, it's also not clear what "Recently" should mean in this context.  It's my post, my blog, my rules, so I'm thinking, whatever I want to mention really. Fortnite Roughly a year ago, I decided I wanted to give Fortnite a go.  It's been popular for years, and i was looking for something relatively mindless…
Fortnite Fracture Event, Quite Disappointing

Fortnite Fracture Event, Quite Disappointing

Every so often, Fortnite has these big "Event" moments in it's story line. They are essentially just an excuse to destroy the island and revamp it, at least from a game play perspective. These often happen at the end of the Chapter, but sometimes also between Seasons. (The game is Chapters, subdivided into Seasons). For the end of Chapter 3, Fortnite had an event called Fracture. Compared to the Collision Event for Chapter 3, Season 2, this event felt incredibly lack luster. The way the events work, a half hour or so before the start time, it becomes the only…
