First Hour

A great thing about going to college is you get to befriend people from wildly different backgrounds than you came from.

The Disco Elysium-likes have arrived: heavy narrative with meaningful choices, dice rolling, and a strange title.

During my fifteenth birthday party, my parents offered me a choice between two video games: Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX for the Game Boy Color.

I recently went trawling through my GOG library for games to play on my Ayn Thor and pulled up Dredge, Black Salt Games’ cosmic-horror fishing adventure from 2023.

Fifteen years ago, I published my original review of Radiant Historia for the Nintendo DS.

Almost 19 years ago, I reviewed just the first hour of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

When it comes to top-down action platformer games, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening still both reign supreme.

I’ve played games without an ending, games with just one ending, some that have a few endings based on meaningless choices right at the conclusion, and even one with dozens.

What do you get when you combine Invincible, Critical Role, and Telltale Games?
