Monthly Wrap Up: July 2022

This month has been so much fun with how many games that I've gotten to play.  I'm honestly surprised at how many games that I've gotten to play and try again.  This month I got to play one of the most popular games as well as a few old favorites from the past!  So let's get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: May 2022

Is it the end of June already? Whoops, I completely forgot about writing this post of the games I played in May. Life just seemed to become very chaotic and there was nothing that I could do about it. So now is the perfect time to share with everyone what I've been playing in May. Since May is kind of a blur, I'm going to keep this post extremely short as I can barely remember what games I played in May as well as what was going on in some of the games. However, right now I'm working on some new demo reviews that I hope to share sometime here in the future. However, don't quote me on that as life gets pretty busy and I don't know when these will go live. So left get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: August 2021

Wait what happened, first I just turned August now its September!  What the heck is happening to time!  It's going to fast that I cant keep up with whats happening and its making it difficult to get anything done.  But then I guess that means I need to plan better and figure out whats the best play to play all the games!  So let's get started!

Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS4/PS5 Custom Controls Updated August 2021

Earlier this year I have uploaded a set of custom control that are supposed to mimic what I find to be the best control settings based off of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However with this came the fun bug that limited some of your game play. Now, the first set of custom controls still works perfectly fine other than the odd pop-up of a torch while calling your horse and the fact that your can throw or fish. Well now I have one that will fix your ability to throw items and it will allow you to fish too! Sadly can't figure out why the torch keeps popping up my its fine it not like your going to call everyone to your immediate locations if they see the light... right? Anyway, here's the up dated version of control that will allow you to fish and throw items!

My First Impressions of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Over the last couple of months, I've been exploring the Norwegian and English countryside in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. With everything that I have seen and done so far in the game I really wanted to share my first impressions about the game before I write my official review of the game and since I'm about 80% through the main storyline of the game (I think?), I feel like I'm at a great point to discuss what I think of the game so far.  This is not my official review of the game that will come after I finish the main story which will hopefully be soon.  So let's get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: July 2021

Where has the time gone! It felt like it was July 1st a week ago and now we're into August!  Time please slow down, I don't want to loose the free time I have just been given before I have to start working! Anyway, enough with my complaining. July was filled with games and I am so happy that I've basically caught up to everything that I've been lagging behind in.  However, this gave me the perfect opportunity to try out some new games and finish some old one!  Shall we begin?!?!

Monthly Wrap Up March 2021

What day is it... *Look at calendar*... Oh my goodness how has time flowed by so quickly! Its felt like that March just barley started and now it's April! Well at least I kept track of all the games that I've played this month and oh boy did I have a fun month!  So let's get started.

Monthly Wrap Up February 2021

It's the beginning of a new month and it seems that there is so much going on that I can't seem to keep it organized.  One thing I ahem been able to keep organized is my gaming list and since its the beginning of a new month its time for my gaming wrap up for February.  So let's get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: January 2021

This year I'm going to be taking a different approach to some of my posts.  Every month, I'm hopping to share with everyone the games that I've been playing as a way to be able to look back and see all the games I've play over the year.  My twin Daniella (The Little Book Spy) has been doing a similar style of post for her book and games that I thought it would be fun to try and my hand with sharing my own little list of games that I've played.  So let's get started!

Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS4/PS5 Custom Controls

After jumping into Assassin's Creed Valhalla for the first time, I came upon a really big issue when playing the game, and that was I had a super hard time figuring out the controls for the game and remembering which buttons to use. These controls were so different I knew I needed to find a change for them. With that, my goal was to try and look online for the best set of custom controls for Valhalla. However, I hit a road block of only finding custom controls for the Xbox One. Since I'm a PS4/PS5 user, I hoped into Odyssey and went to work on creating the best PS4/PS5 custom for Valhalla. So for todays post, I have decided to share with everyone the best control settings for Valhalla based on Odyssey's Alternative control setting. So let's get started!

*This post has since been updated with new custom settings.  Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS4/PS5 Custom Controls Updated August 2021 with my latest changes which allow you to fish and throw objects.*

Assassin's Creed Valhalla Custom Control's

Out of all the controls I found that these settings seemed to work the best for me and I hope these will work for you as well.  I know that there are possibly some issues with these settings but I have yet to experience them myself, but if there are any please let me know and I will look into it.

Even though these controls are nearly perfect and identical to Assassins Creed Origin/Odyssey, there is one bug that I’m ran into with these controls... throwing objects you pick up in the game is literally impossible! The only way I was able to throw things is by pressing L2 and the triangle button at the same time but it’s finicky and doesn’t always work, about 99.9%, of the time.  But that only means you need to get creative when throwing explosives or objects but other than that there are some fairly easy work arounds.  This also makes it impossible to fish but then, that’s fine for me since I don’t like the fishing mechanic.

Thank you everyone for reading! I hope that these custom controls I've set up work for you as well as they have worked for Daniella and I. I would highly recommend that if you know someone who is facing similar issues when it comes to PS4/PS5 controls for Valhalla that you share my post with them so that they can get back into the wonderful world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla as I know that people have been looking for these.  If you want look for some game recommendations, you can also check out my Games Review page.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey Review

With Assassin's Creed Valhalla being released soon, I thought it was time that I reviewed Assassin's Creed Odyssey!  I was really excited for the release of this game due to it being similar in gameplay style of Assassin's Creed Origin along with the game being slightly distant from the main focus of the Assassin's Creed series as well as wanting to explore the beautiful Greek world!  Assassin's Creed Odyssey was released by Ubisoft on October 2nd, 2018 and is the 11th game in the main series.  So let's get started!

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Review

For over the last year, I've really wanted to review some of the Assassin's Creed games on my blog.  I have spend so much time playing each of the games, however, due to time constants I was never able to do this before now!  My idea has final turned into reality with being able to finally have time to sit down and write my review for Assassin's Creed Black Flag!  Black Flag was my first AC game that I played without Daniella (The Little Book Spy).  So I thought it was only fitting that this would be my first AC review.  Assassin's Creed Black was created by Ubisoft and was released on October 29th, 2013.  So let's get started!

My Flourishing TBP Gaming List Part 1

I think everyone at this point in time has a TBP (To Be Played) gaming list and for me this list has grown dramatically which leads me to forgetting games.  So over the last few months, I slowly began compiling a list of games that I've either haven't finished or haven't even started.  But first let me tell you a little secret, I have added so many games on this list that I have basically years worth of games that I could play and never be bored ever again.  However, the idea of playing one of these games always seemed to get pushed off for either lack of interest, being busy, or the game you chose is so long that it could take 2 years to complete... I'm looking at you Assassin's Creed Odyssey!

So instead of either sitting and staring at the list of all the possible games I have and do nothing or waiting for the console to play the game I want (I share my console.), I've decided to share a list of games that are on my TBP list and use this as a way to encourage myself to jump into some of these amazing stories.  So let's begin!
