In celebration of the #LoveYourBacklog-Week, I was browsing through my library and trying to revive games that I've played in the past and review those. Really Big Sky, The Plan, Among Ripples, Relic Hunters Zero, SpaceChem, Ori and the Blind Forest, and NeuroVoider are some games that I wanted to review and while I've finished... Continue Reading →
Indietail – The Plan
In today's Indietail review, we're taking a look at The Plan – it's a short free-to-play Indie Game that I played ages ago and that I liked back then. Just now I started it up again and I just like it all over again. It's by Krillbite Studio who also made Among The Sleep and... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Among Ripples
In today's Indietail, we're looking at a short relaxing eco-system-management-game that is called Among Ripples. In this game, we control a pond's ecosystem by adjusting the oxygen levels of the water, adding new creatures into the pond and seeing what happens. Developer: Eat Create Sleep Publisher: Eat Create Sleep Genres: Free to Play, Casual, Simulation,... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Lightmatter
When I was younger I discovered a game called "Portal" and I just fell in love with it. It was one of the first "better looking" games that I played. The puzzles were interesting, the aesthetics were great, I loved the music, the humour was really dope and made me chuckle a lot, and I... Continue Reading →
TSS#42 – #LoveYourBacklog Week 2020
This Friday is Valentine's Day and you know who most of us probably haven't shown any love to, yet? The backlog of games in our library! Kim from Later Levels wrote about this topic on her blog and started a movement of bloggers out there sharing some love for their backlogs! Yay! But then again, it... Continue Reading →
The MonHunLog #1 – The Elder Dragoning
In today's MonHunLog I'd like to talk about the new weapon I discovered and got to love. The Insect Glaive. We also fought our first Elder Dragons and since we tasted blood, we'll fight three more in the next play-session and document those in the next MonHunLog! Now, the Insect Glaive is a special one.... Continue Reading →
The MonHunLog #0 – Pilot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro6r15wzp2o I planned on making a few posts about my experience with Monster Hunter World and the monsters I'd encounter and capture or slay… and then I ended up forgetting to take screenshots. Well, now I'm at the beginning of the High-Rank missions with a good amount of hours in the game (37 hours used... Continue Reading →
Raid: Shadow Legends and why I don’t like (a lot of) Gacha mobile games
Yup, I actually tried it out!
What is fun? – a rather mathematical outlook
Games are meant to provide fun and/or entertainment. I think that's a statement that a lot of people would agree on. But what is fun? How would one calculate the amount of fun that one has in a game? What's needed for a game to be successful or for a game to be considered "great"... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Risk of Rain 2
A while ago I reviewed Hopoo Games' Risk of Rain 1 and it's to-date one of my favourite games. It's a lovely Indie-Action-Roguelike-title with a very nice combat system, a wonderful soundtrack and a timer that is increasing the difficulty the longer you take to complete the game. Hopoo Games released Risk of Rain 1... Continue Reading →
Indietail – The Haunted Island, A Frog Detective Game
Games allow us to slip into all kinds of roles that we would never head the chance to access in real life. That's one reason why I like games. I love RPGs as you're allowed to do whatever you want. I can be the support that decides whether or not a party-member lives or dies.... Continue Reading →
Omensight – Revisited and finished!
During my 24-hour stream, I played a lot of games. I played Destiny 2, Stardew Valley, League of Legends, Overwatch, Monster Hunter World, Dungreed, and a lot of other titles and among them... was Omensight. A title I've reviewed on my blog before. I wanted to play it on stream to showcase to some of the... Continue Reading →
TSS#41 – We did a 24 hour stream
Happy new year everyone! It's been a while since I posted something on this small little piece of work that I'm calling my blog. So far, it's been quite busy university-wise but I still kind of managed to squeeze in a little bit of gaming-time in my free time and I streamed all of it.... Continue Reading →
TSS#40 – Merry christmas!
I don't celebrate christmas but that doesn't hinder me from wishing everyone a merry one and the best for the new year! It's a bit early for that but I thought that it's better than being late, I guess! I hope you'll have fun with your friends and family and uhm... Here's some of my... Continue Reading →
TSS#39 – Facing my fears
TRIGGER WARNING! This post will include pictures of spiders! Big ones! They're terrifying! Don't read ahead if you're afraid of or sensitive about that stuff! This is a cute drawing that should show up when I post the link. I hope it works. So, I'm afraid of spiders. And I decided to go to a... Continue Reading →
TSS#38 – It has been a while
It's truly been a while. My last post "LoL 10th Anniversary - 2012, Nami" has been almost three weeks ago and, well, I haven't had time to post anything for the last few weeks, and to be honest I also was lacking in motivation. Hence, I thought it'd be time to make a quick update... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2012, Nami
League of Legends turned 10! And although the event has already ended and although you cannot receive any more rewards, I'll continue my series of posts, showcasing my favourite supports from each year. Seven years ago on December 4th 2012, Nami, The Tidecaller, was introduced into the Summoner's Rift. She's a vastayan Enchanter from the... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2011, Leona
2011 was the year where one of the first aggressive supports were introduced. Leona, The Radiant Dawn, is Vanguard from Mount Targon that provides her team with both CC and a frontline that is able to increase her allies' damage on targets hit by her abilities. So let's just get into it with his showcase!... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2010, Sona
Nine years ago, Sona, The Maven Of The Strings, got introduced to League of Legends, which is why I'm showcasing her in today's (well, technically yesterday's) post! Thanks to my studies taking up a lot of time, I wasn't able to finish yesterday's post in time, which is why we're taking a look at Sona... Continue Reading →
LoL Anniversary – 2009, Janna
League of Legends turned ten years old, this year, which is one of many reasons to celebrate! Hence, I thought I'd make a few posts (though a bit late) about my favourite champions in my favourite role, kind of like a introduction to those champions or a guide without the strategies and all of that... Continue Reading →
TSS#37 – Five Games Challenge
What games would I choose if I only had five games available to me? What's this "challenge" Naithin of timetoloot.com is taking part in? Why are we doing this at all?
Indietail – Pool Panic
I've never been a fan of games that had anything to do with sports. There're football games, soccer games, golf games, and... well, pool games. Speaking of pool games, today's review is about Pool Panic!
Indietail – The Swindle
Being a student, I wasn't able to fund my new PC until I found this job here. It seemed rather easy: Scout for flaws in the security systems, watch out for the guards, break in, take everything valuable and leave without getting noticed! Sadly, I'm not Kaito Kid or Lupin III and, hence, not a good thief. Therefore, my new PC... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
It's time for Día de los Muertos - the memorial day of the dead! And for that we're playing as the agave farmer, Juan Aguacate, who's helping with the preparations in his village only to find his childhood friend, Lupita, be kidnapped by the undead villain Carlos Calaca to be sacrificed in a ritual to... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Beat Cop
Those of you that are a bit advanced in your age may know those old hard-boiled detectives or cops in older crime shows where the protagonist has to take care of cases by the lawbook but in the end uses his own methods to find the culprit. People in my age group may know Brooklyn... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #36 – en passant 2
It's been a while that I slept well and it's also been a while since I posted anything. "Coincidence? I think not." For the past couple of days, I didn't sleep at all at night or woke up way too early, leading to me getting tired at Uni, then coming home, falling asleep on my... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #35 – en passant
So, I thought I'd talk about the new headers I made for my blog (which I'm rather proud of!), how uni has been (as it just started), and what the current situation/final decision on the Heartbeat review is & something else. Regarding the "en passant", I thought it'd be cool to talk about how my... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #34 – my dilemma
This week is full of posts because of creativity and me being bothered by something for quite some while at the same time hyped for the new Riot Games (who still is a small indie company for sure, kappa). A bit after posting that RoL post, my account was activated for Legends of Runeterra, which... Continue Reading →
Legends of Runeterra!
The Witcher has Gwent, World of Warcraft has Hearthstone, and League of Legends... has Legends of Runeterra! Note: Given the nature of this post, I decided to move it from The Stray Sheep to The Lookout Post! Hence, this was formerly known as #33 in the Stray Sheep series but it's renamed and moved. Just... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Sea Salt
Spooktober and Lovecraft? Sounds alright to me. Today we're taking a look at Sea Salt, a dark reverse-horror action-strategy-game by YCJY Games who I've interviewed at this year's Games Com in Cologne! Developer: YCJY GamesPublisher: YCJY GamesGenres: Strategy, Lovecraftian, Reverse-Horror, Action, IndieRelease Date: October 17, 2019Reviewed on: PCAvailable on: PCCopy received from the Devs After...
