I've been a big fan of the Total War games for a long time, and I admit I've been disappointed by their focus lately. I like Warhammer, but the Three Kingdoms and Attila settings didn't interest me, and Rome is a little overdone. What I really want is Medieval 3, but as that doesn't seem like it's...
To the Moon is an experience. Released in 2011, just when indie games were exploding, I had never played anything like it before or since. It's an RPG, but there's no combat. It's kind of a visual novel, but there's some interactivity. The main draw is the story.
Four Last Things is a historical point-and-click comedy game with a unique visual theme. All of the art in this game is compromised of royalty free paintings, altered and animated to fit the game. It's a really slick and unique style, and makes the game really stand out.
Legend is classic 80's heroic fantasy, full of epic fights, epic deeds, epic men. It has a lot of the same soul that makes characters like Conan so appealing; it's filled with heroism and masculinity and larger-than-life characters.
Pokemon is one of my favorite series, and I was excited for the series first new mainline entry on the Switch. Sword and Shield retain the series gameplay, but I came away disappointed by the missed potential.
My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, 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.
Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
