GUILTY GEAR STRIVE: Learning I-NO | Week 1
If you have played a fighting game before, you are well aware that everyone learns things about these games very differently and at varying speeds. I am a particularly slow learner in fighting games. This is by far my most favourite genre and that’s not in spite of being slow to learn in fighting games,…

SPOILER FREE: ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights | Part I
As with most Metroidvania games, I went into Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights with no knowledge or expectations of the game and in this first post I’ll try my best to give you as good of an impression of Ender Lilies as I possibly can without spoiling anything either. The follow ups will go…

I finally have a PlayStation 5 — For over a month already at this point…
I finally managed to snag a PlayStation 5 and it only took me 212 days to do so. As Sony clearly didn’t want people to play the launch games, I’ve decided to not buy Demon’s Souls and wait until it either goes down in price by at least 50% during a sale, or is free…

Lost Ruins a shorter Metroidvania | Review… kind of
In my last video about Vagrant Story I talked about the terms Metroidvania, Soulslikes and how I would group the bunch of them together to better describe what I am looking for in these games. The term Bossploration doesn’t exactly scream memorability, but it does accurately describe my infatuation with these types of games. Metroid,…

Product Review: HORI Split Pad Pro Monster Hunter Rise Edition
Shortly after the release of the first Monster Hunter Rise Demo I made up my mind very early on that I would not be playing the game in handheld mode. The Joycons, as far as I am concerned at least, are about the most uncomfortable, official and default method of input I’ve ever had to…

Monster Hunter Rise: The end of the gauntlet
If you have been following my little experiment of running each new monster that shows up in a gauntlet with four different weapon types, then you have been following that. Ten out of ten intro, right there, if that doesn’t get you hyped to read the rest of this blog post, I don’t know what…

Monster Hunter Rise: Learning New Weapons
Just before the release of Monster Hunter Rise I had decided that I would finally go through and try to learn a few more weapons. Ever since Monster Hunter Portable 3rd I’ve almost exclusively played the Switch Axe. In Monster Hunter XX I’ve experimented a little with Aerial and Brave Great Sword and in World…

Fighting Games: Improving in lower ranks
One of the toughest things to get used to and accept in fighting games is the fact that you are responsible— for everything! There’s no teammate to blame, you made those decisions. You cannot blame your opponent for doing something you simply haven’t learned yet and you cannot blame the game for… well if the…
