Potion Permit Demo Review

During the Steam Next Fest in June 2022, I was able to try a bunch of game demos and today I thought I would share my thoughts on some of the demos that I played. Well to make a quick point of it, I wasn't able to try as many demos as I would have liked, but one demo out of the 4 that I tried stuck with me... it was addictive. To the point of where all I can think about is this game and going and playing. Even now thinking about it makes me want to play it! So, tis time that I write about my new favorite pixel game Potion Permit, which is being released everywhere on September 22nd, 2022. Let's get started!

Nancy Drew Stay Tuned For Danger Review

The sun is out and getting hotter by day and that means it time to get ready for summer hibernation!  If you've never heard of this then here's the simple explanation, in Arizona, we get to extreme temperatures where leaving the house is like walking into a hell heat wave and to protect myself from dying, I go into hibernation full of cold water and air conditioning!  Also what better game to play in this heat than Stay Tuned For Danger! This game was released by Her Interactive on November 13, 1999.  So let's get started!

Nancy Drew The White Wolf of Icicle Creek Review

The sun is going down earlier and earlier, the temperatures are dropping, and you know what that means.  It's finally autumn in Arizona, or what other people call winter this time of year!  Ok ok, I know my 80 F degree wether is not what everyone experiences during November or even December but when it reaches this temperature it means that I can finally make some hot cocoa and play one of my favorite winter Nancy Drew games, The White Wolf of Icicle Creek!  This game was released by Her Interactive on June 7th, 2007.  So let's get started!

Nancy Drew Curse of Blackmoor Manor Review

The Curse of Blackmoor Manor is one of my favorite games to play when it's time to get into more spookier games.  This Halloween is no different with Daniella and I playing this game again over on our Twitch channel DJTwinGamers!  We were super excited to play this game over on stream and have really enjoyed playing it with so many new friends.  With this I thought it was the perfect time to write my review of the game as it helped refresh what I love about this game.  Curse of Blackmoor Manor was released by HeR Interactive on October 25th, 2004.  So let's get started!

Man of Medan Review

Halloween is just a few weeks aways and what's better than playing spooky games with your family and friends.  Probably a lot of things if you hate anything scary but we're going to ignore my irrational fear of horror games and review The Dark Pictures Anthology Man of Medan.  I originally gave this as a Christmas gift for a friend back in 2019, and after 2 years we finally sat down to play it!   Man of Medan was released on August 29th, 2019 by Supermassive Games.  So let's get started!

Going Medieval Review

Another day, another sim city builder game!  As you can tell, I'm slightly addicted to these kind of games, even though I consider myself terrible at them once things get difficult.  But that's never stopped me before!  I've been watching Medieval a few months before it was released and I was super exited when I was able to get the chance to buy it and finally play it!  I bought the game when I was at my peak of busy college classes but I made sure that I made time to finally play the game!  Going Medieval was developed by Foxy Voxel and published by The Irregular Corporation on June 1st, 2021.  So let's get started!

Going Medieval: Fort Building

Game Description

"In the world of Going Medieval, dark age society is on its knees. At the end of the 14th century, 95% of the global population has perished due to rampant plague.

Eventually, survivors emerge from society’s ashes, and it’s now up to you to help them settle in a dangerous new land reclaimed by nature. Build your people a home, help shape their lives, and protect them from animals, bandits, and other dangers in a lawless post-calamity age."

Going Medieval: Farming

Gameplay/Controls 

I absolutely love the gameplay in Going Medieval!  There is so much you can customize in this game when it comes to buildings, farming, and etc.  I absolutely love this feature.  I can make my buildings as large as I want, I can make them any shape, and I could make them as tall as I want too!  This made is absolutely perfect and I just loved it.  The controls were also super simple and easy to use.  I will admit though that I find it kind of tiring of having to tell each individual character what jobs they can and can't do.  at the moment I only have 4 people but I know what once that number increases it will be a lot more difficult.  But maybe thats the point as you build up.

Going Medieval: Winter Castle

World/Graphics

I have my graphics set more to a medium as my computer can't handle going any higher, but even on medium the world is absolutely gorgeous!  I love all the tiny details that I can see.  This is especially true when it's raining and snowing.  It just makes the world so pretty and the time changes to make the world more dark or lighter really highlighted the world and make it better so that I could work while my characters were asleep.

Thank you everyone for reading!  I have had an absolute blast playing Going Medieval and I think I have a new favorite city builder game!  I can't wait to see what the developers do next for the game!  So I think its time to go back and continue my game and try my best to expand as much as possible before I end up having to restart due to forgetting about the character needs.   If you want to check out my Games Review page where I have all my current reviews!

Until next time,

Of Bird and Cage Review

Out of all the combinations that a game could possibly have, a story driven game entwined with metal music has to be one of the most ingenious creations I think I have ever seen!  I have been wait to play this game since I first heard about the game about two years and I could not wait to play Of Bird and Cage.  Of Bird and Cage is a metal driven storyline game focusing on following the butterfly affect for the choices you make for Gitta Barbot.  The game was developed by Capricia Productions and Published by All in!

I've been in a Sherlock Holmes mood ever since I bought the complete Sherlock Holmes collection on Steam in 2020.  Now that I've had time to sit down and play these games, I thought it would be great idea to start by playing some of the Sherlock Holmes games that I never played before.  Sherlock Holmes The Mystery of the Persian Carpet was developed and published by Frogwares in 2008.  The Mystery of the Persian Carpet was one of the first casual Sherlock Holmes games produced by Frogwares.  So let's get started!

Phasmophobia Review

"So, whose ready for a ghost hunt?"  I know that I wasn't when I started up Phasmophobia since I am absolutely terrified of scary games, but with the idea of ghost hunting I just new that I need to go and investigate the different type of ghosts haunting the homes and other locations in the game.  Just like most, I first saw this game when a group of streamers that I watch play this game other and I though it would be fun to try out for myself.  Phasmophobia was released by Kinetic Games on September 18, 2020.  So let's get started!
