Today I wanted to talk about Early Access titles and my thoughts on it. I sometimes get hyped about certain games even when they are in Early Access. Early Access, however, offers such a high risk in some cases. After all, you're purchasing an unfinished product that still needs polishing, bug fixing and may even... Continue Reading →
Today we're disappointing our parents! Not our real ones but our virtual Chinese parents! Today we're taking a look at 中国式家长 / Chinese Parents, a casual Indie-Simulation where we become a random Chinese couple's child, grow up and become a parent in the next generation - in hope of being better than our former parents!...

So, today we're taking a look at Cat Quest II. It's a fast-paced open-world action RPG by The Gentle Bros. The other day, I covered the first game on this blog, so I'll also cover improvements over the first game! Developer: The Gentle BrosPublisher: The Gentle BrosGenres: RPG, Action, Adventure, Open WorldRelease Date: September 24,... Continue Reading →
So heya, there hasn't been any posts for a week now and I thought I'd give a quick little update on what's going on and when I'll post more again. Basically, I've been having a lot going on IRL. University's starting soon, so I've been preparing for that and also had to deal with other... Continue Reading →
Today's we're going on a catventure! I mean, we're taking a look at Cat Quest after all! Cat Quest is not only a lovely homage to classic RPGs but also a parody of the same. It not only mocks the genre but also adds its features into it to make a purrfect game for every... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I bought a game on the Epic Games Store. It came out two days ago and, Geesus Christ, it's fun! Of course, I'm talking about Untitled Goose Game, a hilarious stealth-game (I'd say?) where you pull small little pranks on the people around you and annoy them as much as possible. You play as a...

Howdy, fellow cowboys and cowgirls! Today we're taking a look at Westerado: Double Barreled, a game where we chase a buffalo on the loose before finding out that someone not only burned down our ranch, but also gravely injured our bigger brother, and killed our mother! Our mission is to find the killer and take... Continue Reading →
So, for the past few days, I've been asking people for help and recommendations for a new budget PC. So far I've only played video games on a laptop and this one's getting quite old. So, I ended up checking for the recommended requirements on a game and compared stuff using a versus-side so that... Continue Reading →
Today we're taking a look at Kind Words! We literally take a look at kind words, too. Hope that made you groan! Let's get right into it!

Kind Words is a social experiment, I guess. You... Continue Reading →

To be honest, I'd like to blog daily, but today I've been lazy. I didn't really have many ideas today, so I think from now on I'll try to stay with a few posts a week instead of daily posts since I don't want to post for the posting's sake. Also, I really need to... Continue Reading →
While originally today's Stray Sheep was about achievements and stuff that some games make you do (hence the Taylor Swift reference), I kind of ended up with a post about games I'm playing right now and the fact that I can't play everything at the same time, which sucks. So, I'll take the first prompt... Continue Reading →
So, the other day Naithin from time to loot posted about Asheron's Call, a relatively old MMORPG that looked quite interesting and I ended up signing up for it on a private server (it seems) with a nice community. Welcome to Late to the Party #2! This time, it's about a game that came out... Continue Reading →
In today's Indietail, we'll take a look at The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands, a somewhat minimalistic title that has an interesting concept to it... but it's very poorly executed. In this game, you're a wanderer from distant lands who settles down and starts chopping some wood. There's some background story to it but I haven't really understood it for... Continue Reading →
So, the lovely Belghast of Tales from the Aggronaut wrapped up Blaugust the other day, listing all the participants, mentors and winners. I participated in Blaugust as Newbie as I, in fact, am a newbie when it comes to blogging and blaugusting and all that. I made it to 31 posts in August and hence... Continue Reading →
In today's review, we're taking a look at Forager, "a 2D open-world game inspired by exploration, farming and crafting games like Terraria, Stardew Valley and Zelda" by HopFrog.

I'm struggling with a topic for today's Stray Sheep, so I'll just do the Real Neat Blogger Award... again! Yep, I got tagged again. I guess my blog is really neat, eh? Just kidding. So, this fella called Frostilyte tagged me on his blog after getting tagged by backlogcrusader's Angie. If I had had a... Continue Reading →
Heya, everyone!I thought of this as a little update/conclusion post where I just summarize the goals I had and the goals I achieved for Blaugust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2UFaMKsslM And this post's titled because of this song by this great band that I used to listen to! Check them out :) Anyways, let's just get into it, shall... Continue Reading →
So, today's the last day of Blaugust and also the last post about interviews I did at the GamesCom! Today's Stray Sheep features the devs behind Kingdom, Flotsam and Foundation. Three strategy games that I'm quite excited about! While Kingdom has been out for quite some time and while I'm a fan of it ever since the first game, which... Continue Reading →
Okay, so today's Stray Sheep will cover the interview with Rebekah Saltsman, the Publisher of a small cute game called Tunic (which, btw, has incredible combat and features an insanely cute fox as the protagonist) and the Co-Founder and CEO of Finji Games and one of the Devs behind Overland, a turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world! You're... Continue Reading →
So, today's Stray Sheep is going to cover the next three interviews. This one features Naraven Games' Answer Knot, Fishing Cactus' Nanotale - Typing Chronicles and Route 59's Necrobarista. After this, there's going to be two more posts with interviews, featuring the dev/publisher of Tunic and Overland in one post, and the devs of Kingdom, Flotsam, and Foundation in another post, so stay tuned for... Continue Reading →
Today I started my job at a nearby school which is why today's Stray Sheep may be a bit later than usual - but then again, I don't have fixed times for my post anyways, apart from daily during Blaugust, so it shouldn't matter. In today's post, I'll share the next two interviews with you.... Continue Reading →
Okay in today's Stray Sheep, we're traveling in time as we're not only visiting the darkest of times (in Through the Darkest of Times) and the 60s/70s (in Resort) but also going back into the future (in a short bit about GravityLane). These are the second and the third GamesCom-Interview! Sadly, I couldn't interview GravityLane... Continue Reading →
So, for today's post, I'm publishing the first interview I ever did. As for context: I've visited the GamesCom last thursday, for the first time, and not only did I check out a ton of cool new games there, but I also talked to a lot of cool devs and even interviewed some of them,... Continue Reading →
Okay, so for today's Stray Sheep I wanted to talk about my first impressions on the GamesCom. In d(i)etail. Have fun. I originally planned to play Bioshock today as "Late to the Party #2" but I should get this small little article out asap since the last day of GamesCom was yesterday (Saturday, the 24th...

Today we're taking a look at Miracle Mia by Shademare Studios who've provided me with a review-key pre-release. Miracle Mia is their first game and the studio describes it as "a weird, interesting and fun game". But what is Miracle Mia actually about? That's a good question! It's about Mia and Nia, two sisters, that... Continue Reading →
So, today was quite the busy day for me, so I couldn't write down my impressions nor work on another review nor the interview. Hence, I'm talking about the following question: If you had to chose one game to play for the rest of your life, which one would it be? Well, for me it'd... Continue Reading →
So, in today's Stray Sheep I'm briefly going to talk about the GamesCom Experience! Or rather the TLDR-version of an upcoming post that I'm going to write (tomorrow I believe? Maybe even on Saturday? I don't know, tbh.). So, I went there at around 10:30 am - to the GamesCom in Cologne, which is (one... Continue Reading →
So in today's Stray Sheep, I'm talking about the upcoming Gamescom-Event, what I'm planning to do and what else I'm currently working on. This is a rather short update since I need to bring my SO to the hospital. Hope you don't mind! So first of all, Shademare Studio has provided me with a review... Continue Reading →
This year's Blaugust (and my first to participate in) is steadily progressing, leaving us at a 20-day-streak (including this post) - that leaves us still at the Silver Award but in five more days I should qualify for the Gold Award if I truly am able to keep up the daily posts. Of course, my... Continue Reading →
