Another article from me, no way!! Check out my review for the (mostly) excellent Gecko Gods and thank you @startmenu.bsky.social for publishing it

startmenu@startmenu.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Gecko Gods’ lizard-centric puzzle solving and exploration calls to mind games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Ico. @thetenthletter.bsky.social reviews.

Thank you to @unwinnable.com for working with me on this story. I had a fascinating and unique experience watching La La Land with my fiancé on a date for Valentines, and I’m happy that I’ve been given the space to share this experience with others.

ICYMI: "Jazz was made from La La Land itself, and I was compelled to share our experience with you." @thetenthletter.bsky.social sees a unique - yet unintentional - cut of La La Land that gives them a one-of-a-kind perspective on the film:

Here we have it, the 40th published piece in my portfolio. Thank you to @startmenu.bsky.social for the space to write this. I’m looking forward to writing even more and hopefully hitting 50 pieces soon.

Songs of Glimmerwick’s magical premise shows promise, but @thetenthletter.bsky.social's experience with the game's demo was hampered by its complex spellcasting mechanics.

Huge thanks to @startmenu.bsky.social for giving me the space to write about the very cool puzzle game beneath Horripilants more overt idle game. Also very glad I can somewhat justify the hours I lost to Adventure Capitalist as a teen as they led to me having more to say in this review years later

startmenu@startmenu.bsky.social · 3mo ago

There’s more to Horripilant than its idle gameplay may at first suggest. @thetenthletter.bsky.social reviews.

Wow, great piece by @thetenthletter.bsky.social. I already wanted to play this game, but this took it to another level

startmenu@startmenu.bsky.social · 5mo ago

For @thetenthletter.bsky.social, 1000xRESIST is the game that will remain.

I've not experienced much art that has forced itself under my skin in the way that 1000xRESIST did. It gave me a lot to think about and to do, the first of which being writing this piece. Thank you startmenu for the space for this, and to @kellymerka.bsky.social for making it the best it can be.

I think a fundamental problem here, and why people are bouncing off, is that the new, too sleek, too polished visuals don't take me back to the original, or even look how I pictured them in my mind's eye. They severe me from that and remind me that it's 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUvS...

In Ubik Studios’ Leila, the titular character brings the player along on a journey of self-reflection. A meditative experience guided by gentle narration, the game examines what it means to be human — both when we’re at our best, and our worst. Jay Weaver reviews.

This would be mine :) Very happy to see my review published so thank you @startmenu.bsky.social Great God Grove was an excellent experience and I’m glad I had the space to recommend it

Great God Grove is a weird genre-bending take on postponing the end of the world. Jay Weaver dives into this world of puzzles, gods, and… puppets? www.startmenu.co.uk/home/review-...

This is a bit old now but thank you to Exeposé for allowing me the opportunity to talk about ‘Alien: Romulus’. Check out my review on their website in my bio Linktree!

This is an old piece and I’m doing some catch up but thank you to Razz Magazine for publishing my piece (right).
