I actually played a couple other games from my youth, but I got to play Dark Souls with a friend of mine, and this is what I felt like writing about.

I'm on a kick of replaying games from when I was younger.

This was a fun one. More for the aesthetic and constant jokes/references than the game play. It's actually a pretty standard top down shooter. You are a flying beer bottle that can move easily along the x and y axis to dodge attacks and enemies, or to more easily attack.

For those who don’t know, Stray is an indie game that blew up recently (I think).

My opinion? Well, I ain’t usually a trend follower, but the game was available with PS+, so I said fuck it and downloaded it. Before downloading it, I thought it was like… a cat simulator game or something.

Well, no. Or well, yes. Sorta. It’s a puzzle game that I personally consider horror-adjacent. Nothing particularly scary, but at times, it can be a bit spoopy.

So, there’s this game that came out last weekend. I played it and I love it. Do you know what it is?

… Wha? What the heck is Undertale? Never heard of it.

This makes me so happy! I haven't played this game since I was a child! (Special thanks to Background Human from Derpibooru for telling me how to slow it down on Dosbox. It ran so fast otherwise it was unplayable.)

One of the most recognizable and popular games at the moment.

... So why am I doing this? What is there for me to review on a game that pretty much everyone knows? Well, one of the nice things about this game is that you can make your own goals and challenges. The end isn't the end.

Let me start with one of my favorite things about this game: The sound track. I'm actually listening to Dance Through The Danger as I write this. I really wish this song came up in more than just the first run through the first part of the first level. In particular I would have loved it to return at some point in the last level.

This is the last SMS game for now.

Let me start with a bit of the movie. This movie was bottled lightning, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It's a great comedy that plays things straight. The characters seem odd until you get to know them, but once you understand them they seem kind of realistic. Like someone you may have met before.

Castle Crashers takes the rescue the princess trope, putts it in a side scrolling beat 'em up, and runs with it.

As for the story, an evil ruler kidnaps several princesses and it's up to you to rescue them. Fighting your way through hordes of minions, bosses, and running from a giant cat.

Great if you're creative, or just like seeing what people create.

Though I am tired of the automatic Mario levels.

I'm missing out on some of the fun though, as I'm not really good at making levels.

From the first right onto the second.

This takes place shortly after the end of the first Diablo game. Tristram has been destroyed, evil continues to walk the land, and once again hero's must arise to solve the problem.

Things have been crazy these last few weeks so I just went with some short stuff. Even still, I've got a love of flash games. Many are simple, little setup needed and drop you into the game and just let you play.

I still love more complex games, but I can appreciate simplicity in a design. I think I'll also pick up a game or two from Gamejolt from time to time. The Manos game was gold and I may be able to find other little treasures like that.

The first in the Warcraft line, Warcraft: Orcs Vs Humans is just that. Orcs fighting humans. There is a campaign mode that gives you a story as to what's going on at the moment, but there's not much by way of history, which was later molded by Blizzard into the background known so well by many WOW players.

The game where just playing is the challenge.

As far as story goes, it's kind of slice of life. You play the titular Octodad, although the games tutorial starts before that. You learn to navigate the controls during his wedding, getting dressed, breaking walls, and maintaining the outward illusion that you are a human.

I've reviewed Katawa Shoujo when I played that one, so it's only fair I do the same for what is, in spirit, its Russian counterpart. Like KS, it's completely free, though ES does require Steam (though their slightly older versions can still be found from the official torrent distributions if you look around a bit through some probably-Russian blogs of the creators)

Okay, coming back from Shadow the Hedgehog.
Another fanfiction game, but this one was enjoyable for me.
So when you start the game, you've got Shenron telling you that you're being summoned, you make your OC and then are teleported to the planet of the Supreme Kai of Time. Turns out that you were summoned to be the hero they needed, despite having tons of powerful capable fighters, including having access to the Z Fighters.

Working your way up from nothing.

And that really is the case, the game begins during the early part of the Blight of the first game, you're fleeing the darkspawn with your family, trying to find anywhere safe. After a brief tutorial battle the game reveals that this is the narrative as told by Varric.

I stumbled upon this little gem while browsing TVTropes, and when I mentioned it in the irc channel of The Writer's Group later, someone there told me they'd actually recommended it there in the channel too. Anyway, apparently, the game was made by a bunch of enthusiasts on 4chan's Anime & Manga channel (/a/) who somewhat coincidentally ended up making a serious project out of a silly image from an artist who probably meant it as a rather crude
