Stardew Valley’s creator, ConcernedApe, has been teasing patch 1.5 for quite a long time. It is shaping up to be one of the biggest patches this game has seen, and fans have been waiting expectantly for many months. Thankfully, though, Concerned Ape has been keeping us at least somewhat updated via his Twitter, @ConcernedApe. In…

Book Review: Norse Myths That Inspired Final Fantasy VII
Squaresoft’s golden era in the mid to late 90’s produced some of the most memorable, and beloved Japanese Role Playing Games in existence. More than two decades later, debates rage on about which game was the company’s best work, however, there is little to debate about Final Fantasy VII being its most influential work. The…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Shadow of the Colossus
It feels strange to write about Shadow of the Colossus as a “Throwback” game. Just this year, I played through its brilliant remake (Developed by Bluepoint). But Shadow of the Colossus turned 15 years old this month, and two console generations have passed us by in the meantime, thus making the PlayStation 2’s technical marvel,…
Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Delayed, and Developers Receive Death Threats
Apart from the Last of Us: Part II, Cyberpunk 2077 has been the most anticipated game of the year. CD Projekt’s futuristic action role-playing game, perhaps, has been more ‘hyped up ‘than Naughty Dog’s masterpiece, as it is a multiplatform game that also happens to be a cross generational game for the Xbox Series X,…
