By my count, SOMA is actually the first pure horror game I've played!

Bits & Bops is a pretty short game and I've already gotten a Perfect rank on every minigame. And now I have opinions about them.

Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines is the follow-up to 2022's Grapple Dog. The story picks up where the first game ended, with protagonist Pablo being recruited to save the world using his excellent grappling skills. This time, we meet a new character, Luna, who is playable alongside Pablo.

Talking about music is hard when you have to describe what it sounds like using only a few words.

As the millennium turned, cyberspace sat abandoned, leaving behind only bots, ads, and the few who dared venture into the ruins. This game is so Y2K you can lick it.

Moss is a VR "third-person" platformer set in a story book where you help a little mouse on a big adventure.

For reasons that are too convoluted to summarize, I own a set of wireless earbuds now. I've had them for about a week now, and these are my assorted thoughts on them.

Jazztronauts is a deeply meta kind of game that takes full advantage of its Garry's Mod base: it uses the Gmod workshop as its playground and the story takes place within it as a "Source engine multiverse" of sorts.
