I honestly need work stability. I’ve been finding it so hard to feel motivated about spending time writing / keeping up with social media when you feel like your job is constantly in a state of limbo. Hoping to return soon! But don’t worry I’ve still been keeping up with games (for the most part)

I’m so glad Lego Batman is as good as it is. It was my most anticipated game of the year, and I haven’t stopped smiling since starting it Tuesday. Tt Games knocked it out of the park!! I just hope the wait for their next game won’t be as long. They cooked!

Beat Tides of Tomorrow tonight! I think it would’ve benefited from better pacing and a shorter run time. I did however love the characters, story and art direction. While I prefer Road 96, the devs did a commendable job with this follow up!

This Subnautica 2 game goes CRAZZZYYYYY

I may have work tomorrow… But I get to play Mixtape once I clock off!

Was really enjoying my time with NTE, but the absolute egregious usage of GenAI and its straight ripping of other IP’s is on another level. I really don’t care if they remove it, that doesn’t fix that this was seemingly intentional and they just happened to get caught. Fuck NTE and Fuck AI

Well this is unfortunate… I just unsealed my copy of Crimson Desert (it’s currently installing) and I’m the mean time I find out on Reddit that they used AI. Cool.

I think it’s time Quest Break make its grand return. While I’ve been away I’ve been playing a lot of indies, most recently The Drifter and Demon Tides (hit 100% the other day too 👀) But I just picked up Pokopia today, and I NEED to be part of the conversation, it’s so good. Review perhaps?

Unbeatable. Its story feels incredibly disjointed, it’s filled with bugs, and overall needs more polish. BUT its final couple episodes really hit strong to the point that I’d still recommend it. Maybe wait for a few patches tho!

Also quick TGA thoughts: - Sandfall deserves everything, also I love Jennifer English - Control 2 blew my mind, game of the show for me (badger game is a close 2nd) - Geoff really fucked Miss Piggy - Highguard, weak last announcement but I’m stoked to play it, looks cool - PODRACING

I know I’m late, but is it TOO late for me to start Warframe…?

Ok, I might have to review Constance. Cause hot take… I didn’t like it..

Quest Break will still be up and running, but the content will be sparse unfortunately. Since it’ll be harder to keep up with the latest and greatest, it’ll probably be backlogged reviews and/or features covering a multitude of games I play during my travels. Either way, I hope you stick around!

Ok I’ve come to a decision. In order to keep things light, I’ll be upgrading to a still “classy” laptop but with a decent GPU to let me play some lightweight games but with more power than the Deck and keep items in my bag to a minimum 💪🏽

I’m going to start having to travel a lot. But obviously want to still be able to game while in my downtime while I’m gone. I’m debating on upgrading my Deck to something like the Ally X or just getting a laptop with a discrete GPU 🤔

I’ve never been an Xbox gamer, but always saw the value in GamePass (prior to the price jump). I do love my PS5 Pro, but with their rising costs too, I’ve been toying with the idea of it being my last console and sticking to PC. Now with the Steam Machine, the answer is clear. Valve, ya got me.

I might do a full review, but it’ll be very short due to the heavy emphasis on story and choices for this type of game. But if I don’t, just know that you owe it to yourself to play this. It’s yet another GOTY contender.

Completed the final 2 episodes of Dispatch tonight, and I’m so happy to report that they stuck the landing. While I am satisfied with my playthrough and how my story ended, I’m seriously contemplating doing another run with the other choices. It was THAT good! What. A. Game.

I have a hard stance against AI, but even I can recognize the AI use in ARC Raiders is different. While I still don’t like it, the fact is that Embark hired real actors who signed on for their voice to be used in this manner. The AI at play here didn’t take jobs away from the voice actors.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01

Reminiscent of classic platformers from the 90’s, Windswept harkens back to the days of Nintendo’s greatest. If you’ve ever wanted something akin to a spiritual successor of the Donkey Kong Country series, than look no further. Our review: questbreak.com/reviews/wind...

Fuck. Ok. I played 5 & 6. God fucking damn. Incredible.

I’ve been playing an episode of Dispatch every night in the lead up to the finale episodes this week. BUT after just finishing Episode 4, I think I might just binge 5 and 6… What do y’all think? It’s getting “super” interesting

Played ARC Raiders last night in a full squad, and man, pure fun. Embark literally said dump players into an interesting map with hostile AI, and just let them interact. So good!

LOL. Saw this coming from a mile away. At this rate we’ll see it on the PS6
