Hidden Gem: Haven Park

After I had the pleasure of playing and 100%ing A Short Hike, I've been fortunate to find some titles that bring back that same sense of relaxing adventure, where you explore a place that means a lot to the protagonist. The newest title to fit the bill is Haven Park - a charming game that surprisingly has only 463 reviews.

Street Fighter 6

Can you believe that the last mainline Street Fighter game was all the way back in 2016? Sure, Street Fighter V had numerous rereleases and an abundance of content added over the years, but it didn't have the strongest of starts.

Dungeon Drafters

I have been playing a ton of deck-building games lately and have been having a blast with them, so when I saw Dungeon Drafters, I knew that I wanted to check it out. Unlike the traditional titles in this genre, Dungeon Drafters has you use your cards as magic in encounters instead of having a battle where both sides are tossing down their decks.

Game Over: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

In all my years of playing Nintendo games, The Legend of Zelda series has been a bit of a mystery to me, and it wasn't until the franchise broke free from its shackles and embarked on a new adventure that I was finally able to sink my teeth into it. So while longtime fans may lament this breaking conventions mindset, I actually find it refreshing, and I feel like the developers at Nintendo were reaching out to people like me who found the older titles uninviting. This attempt at an open world and more freeing Zelda game is, of course, seen in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. This was my first Zelda game, and I've put way too much time into it, but that's due to its sprawling landscapes, genius physics system, gorgeous visuals, and player freedom. I've played it multiple times now, and after the latest gameplay showcase for Breath of the Wild's sequel - Tears of the Kingdom - I decided to jump back into the world of Hyrule and fall in love all over again with the experience. It's not my first rodeo, more like my fourth or fifth.

My Journey to 100% Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

I've always been a fan of souls-like titles: the challenge, the gameplay, the glorious feeling of completing the game - it all appeals massively to me. So, naturally, on release, I bought and played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice through... as much as I could. Fight as I may, and after easily hundreds of deaths, the final boss - Sword Saint Isshin, because I'm not a corrupt shura player beat the crap out of me repeatedly.

Detroit: Become Human - Does It Still Have Replayability Value?

Back in 2018, Detroit: Become Human came out, and by all means, it was a great success. The game was highly lauded, and I still firmly believe it's much better than its predecessors: Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain. We'll go into a bit of depth about the story and replayability, so warning in advance: there will be spoilers ahead. If you've not played Detroit: Become Human before, I advise you to stop reading now.
