I played quite a bit of the Witcher 3 on release, getting about 20 hours in. I was in college at the time, and ended up dropping it for one reason or another. It's a great game, with excellent writing and graphics, but I never really gelled with the combat, and now playing the game a decade later...
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is a prequel to the recently released Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While that game is a JRPG, this one is a simple Metroidvania. While I enjoyed the game and really liked the music and visuals, the combat was a bit thin, the story an afterthought, and the sidequests...
Yeah, this isn't the Eiyuden game everyone's talking about. I've got that one on my wishlist. I'll get it eventually. This one was only $5 and seems to have recovered from its lukewarm initial release.
Rollerdrome is a game that's been in the backlog for a while but I've just never gotten around to playing it. It was recently released as a PS Plus game, and that gave me the motivation to try it.
Evil West is one of the free monthly games for PS Plus for January 2024. At first glance it looks super cool, and the tutorial level was ok. The combat is weighty and feels ok, a bit like a knock off God of War.
It's been a while since my last NHL game - the last I had was 20 - and 24 was on sale so I decided to give it a go. I've heard good things about the gameplay, and I don't care about the pay to win modes.
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
