I've had Diplomacy is Not an Option on my radar for a while, and recently had the opportunity to pick it up pretty cheap in a bundle. It's a hybrid light city builder with tower defense elements, and it's pretty fun.
I really like games that have you messing with your system or incorporate things from the real world, like The Black Watchmen. Outcore is a free little game that does exactly that, and it's pretty fun so far.
Itch.io is littered with these visual novels. Some are great, some not so much. Since I've bought a few of their giant charity bundles over the years, my library has more than its fair share of them.
Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland came out of nowhere and released as a free weekly on Epic. I liked the show when I was a kid, and I like platformers, so I gave it a quick try.
The Fabulous Fear Machine has a really cool aesthetic, but it wasn't what I expected. I expected more of a narrative game with spooky occult stuff, and what I got was more of a board game.
I'm always on the lookout for new tycoon games. I grew up playing RollerCoaster Tycoon, and while OpenRCT scratches that itch, I haven't really found a substitute for Zoo Tycoon, another favorite. Let's Build a Zoo has been on my radar for a long time, and was recently on sale, so I picked it up.
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
