What We’re Playing This Week – May Flowers Edition
Terry Randolph – Persona 5 (Playstation 4), Mirror’s Edge Catalyst (Xbox One), Overwatch (Playstation 4) So…I totally caved in and bought my Persona 5 as an early birthday gift for myself. A little bit of me is kicking myself in the butt for buying it amidst reminding myself that I am trying to work on […]
Is No Man’s Sky “No Man’s Game”?
No Man’s Sky came out amid an uproar of hype that felt truly astounding. The developers were open-minded, earnest, and proud of their product (not just its revenue). They kept a dialogue going with NMS’ potential players during the development process, and took criticism seriously. The game itself looked gorgeous: beautiful beyond compare, with […]

What We’re Playing This Week – Wandering Edition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR01YdFtWFI&feature=iv&src_vid=9yDZM0diiYc&annotation_id=annotation_901570579 Isaac: I’m finishing up Stardew Valley! I gotta say, it’s a fabulous game. It has its flaws here and there, but as many of you saw in my review, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m moving on to Factorio, a game about automation and industry. It’s… really, really addictive. It’s wickedly complex, often unforgiving, and […]
Stardew Valley: Because there aren’t enough Harvest Moon games?
I went into playing Stardew Valley with equal parts skepticism and optimism. It was an obvious homage to Harvest Moon, and although you can describe the experience of playing a new Harvest Moon game many ways, “novel” should really not be one of them. You somehow inherit a farm (often by ridiculous circumstances), and must forgo […]
Indie Piñata Review – Desktop Dungeons
by Benjamin Fitzerald Desktop Dungeons is one of the games I bought through Indie Piñata. Part roguelike dungeon crawl and part lighthearted kingdom building, Desktop Dungeons offers many hours of light-hearted yet grueling entertainment. It has a pretty steep learning curve, but there are a lot of tutorials to help you learn the game […]
Undertale: Just Another RPG?
By Isaac Smith I’m well-versed in the JRPG style of game. I whet my teeth on Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and The Secret of Mana. I played indie tributes to games like them. I’ve played games that possess many similar characteristics to them, but manage to be different in their own way. Undertale is all […]
