After countless restarts in ENDLESS Legend, I’ve finally forged an empire that feels promising. My Wild Walkers have grown from a single fledgling city to a thriving kingdom of five regions—and for once, I believe I can see this game through to the end.

So many unplayed games in my library… Let’s play them all!
(Re)Starting ENDLESS Legend
ENDLESS Legend is a turn-based strategy game that is similar to Civilisation. You use settlers to build cities, research new technologies, advance to new ages, and conquer other nations through diplomacy and war.
THOTH is Telling Me to Get Good
THOTH may seem straightforward at first, but it reveals surprising layers of complexity. I’ve completed the main set of levels, but now I have a new challenge being thrown at me. Much harder, much more frustrating, yet somehow still just as fun.
I Was Wrong About Super Meat Boy
When I first wrote about Super Meat Boy, I said that I thought Super Meat Boy was just a rage-inducing platformer only for hardcore players. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Ever since that first time I’ve been playing it on and off in short bursts.
Holding Down the Mouse Button
There are games that are extremely popular that I just don’t get. Grim Dawn has a loyal fanbase and a Very Positive rating on Steam. Yet after three hours, I still can’t understand the appeal. Am I out of touch, or is it the children who are wrong?
THOTH – Frustratingly Fun
THOTH, unlike the Egyptian god of the same, is a minimalist game that feels like playing a work of abstract art. It was created by Jeppe Carlsen, former lead developer on Limbo and Inside. It’s a game of short, fast-paced action and problem solving.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered
One of the most beloved classic adventure games of the ’90s, Day of the Tentacle, returns in a beautifully remastered version that breathes new life into a quirky, time-traveling tale.
Keeping the King in the Dark
This week, a simple game about growing and expanding a small kingdom. Coated with gorgeous pixel-art, this simple game has more depth to it than you realise. It’s both an adventure in discovering mechanics, and an enjoyable roguelite challenge.
Super Meat Boy is a Challenge
Years ago I played a challenging flash game called “Meat Boy”, in which you had to speed-run levels, avoiding obstacles. Later, a sequel would be released across multiple platforms, and from what I heard it was a good game. I never found out because I never played it.
It’s a Small World Indeed
Another board game adaptation, Small World is a fun, short game that can be played in about 30 minutes. It’s a very simple game, but it has depth to it that makes it difficult to master.
