Stranded Deep, originally released in Early Access on PC in 2015, has brought its island-hopping survival experience to consoles. It’s an addictive and enjoyable experience, but one that still feels several steps away from greatness. The game, like many others in the genre, drops you on a deserted island and requires you to craft, explore, and survive, while hopefully advancing the barebones plot. That plot is essentially that you’ve survived a plane crash over a series of equidistant islands, and…

If you haven’t checked out the May Day event in Animal Crossing New Horizons yet, do not read this article. I’m warning you! This article will go into what the May Day event is and what I thought of it. When I started Animal Crossing New Horizons today, Isabelle told me about May Day and that I should come to resident services to talk to Tom Nook about it. As soon as I could, I went there and talked to…

Yesterday was Nature Day in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The Nook Miles part of the event lasts till May 4th but yesterday was when it stared and Leif visited for the first time. What did I think of the event? What else happened that day? Here are my thoughts on Nature Day! Thanks to Nintendo’s recent New Horizons update, Nature Day and a whole bunch of other stuff was added to the game! And yesterday was Nature Day. What did…

Nobody should take life (or themselves) too seriously, and nothing I have ever done has hammered this point home better than Totally Reliable Delivery Service. A parody of a physics simulator, Totally Reliable Delivery Service pits players against, well, themselves. And the laws of physics. Laws? More like - the loose guidelines of physics. While this may sound like a nightmare to some, when approached with the right attitude, this game can be the perfect way to unwind at the end of a long and stressful day (not that anyone is currently experiencing any of those!).

Nintendo announced today that the April free update to Animal Crossing New Horizons would be coming out on April 23rd. The update is far bigger than any expected! Check out the video below and then come back for some thoughts on it. The Animal Crossing: New Horizons free April update will add Nature Day, which includes Leif as a traveling merchant. He will sell flowers and wait for it…bushes! I’m very excited about the return of bushes. They look really…

In a previous column, I talked about how I believe we are in for a lot of delays this year. But now its time to focus on the positive! What have I been playing this year so far? What do I wish I was playing? And what do I hope comes out in 2020? Let’s get to it! As you all know, thanks to my review-in progress and other articles, I have been playing a ton of Animal Crossing New…

The egg curse is over! The eggs are gone! GONE! Bunny Day is finally over. What did I think of the event? Well… Bunny Day was a mistake. Let me back up a little. I loved Bunny Day in New Leaf. In that game, it was one day and you went around finding eggs and the bunny gave you stuff. But in New Horizons, the holiday was different. Instead of one day, the event was 12 days. There was 12…

Recently, I unlocked terraforming/path making in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Now I have more power over the landscape of my island. Too much power? Enough power? Let’s talk about terraforming and making paths! In Animal Crossing New Horizons, Nintendo has given us tools that we can use to almost completely reshape our island. I’m talking about terraforming and path making! I’ve unlocked both and thought I’d give our readers my thoughts so far about these new tools. PATHS Since Animal…

Today I woke up and as I have since the game came out, I went to play Animal Crossing New Horizons as soon as possible. Of course, today was different. Right away, Isabelle told me it was Bunny Day. I went out into my town, Outset, and looked for that big ol’ bunny Zipper T. I found him quickly. What follows is my first impressions of Bunny Day on Animal Crossing New Horizons. Note: Bunny Day is activated by an…

I’ve been hesitant to write this column. I don’t really like to write negatively in this column. But I see a lot of people hoping for this game or that game. We see rumors all the time. And with the current state of the world, I can’t help but think that will we see a lot of delayed games this year. We’ve already seen it with the movie industry. Why should the video game industry be any different? Here are…
