  • Culdcept the First - Xbox Review

    Culdcept the First (also attributed as Culdcept the First Saturn Tribute) is a very fun game, that does show its age. This is basically a re-issue of the 1997 Sega Saturn game that mashes together deckbuilding (think Magic: The Gathering) and boardgames (such as Monopoly).

  • Map Map - A Game About Maps - PC Review

    Sometimes a game will hit your feed that is completely unexpected. That is the reaction I had when I discovered Map Map - A Game About Maps (which I'll refer to as Map Map from here on out). It is a puzzle exploration game where you take the role of a young cartographer setting out on a relaxing journey to many unknown islands.

    Let me tell you about this cozy game my daughter and I are playing together called Outbound.

  • Dread Delusion - Xbox Series X|S Review

    Today we’re looking at what has rapidly become an absolute favorite in the open-world RPG genre for me. An interesting story, memorable NPCs, stunning visuals, and a setting absolutely dripping with flavor, Dread Delusion sets its tone immediately and sticks with it.

  • NHL 27 - PS5 Review

    ...and I have been playing NHL games since. It didn't matter whether it was EA or another game like 2K in the 2000s; I loved hockey games and still do, but is NHL 27 a step in the right direction?

Memorable Music in Gaming #62

, , , , , , , No comments

These tunes feel like the perfect soundtrack for sitting by the window, your favorite beverage in hand, and a good book in your lap.

Final Fantasy VIII | PC | Balamb Garden

Final Fantasy VIII is the only Final Fantasy game I’ve come close to finishing and the only one I have any nostalgic connection to. Before I started appreciating games more for their stories, FFVIII was one of the earliest that helped break that mold for me.

Balamb Garden is serene, soothing, and effortlessly calming.

Metroid Prime | GameCube | Phendrana Drifts

For a game filled with body horror and tense gameplay, the music sure can be the complete opposite at times.

Phendrana Drifts sounds like it could play over stock footage of stunning landscapes and scenic vistas. It’s all about those echoey, plucky notes for me.

Pilotwings Resort | 3DS | Hang Glider

How can a piece of music feel like taking a two-week vacation to a breezy island?

I swear, Hang Glider physically transports me to a beach—sun in my eyes, water in my face, sand in my hair. I want to start a petition to make this Earth’s official background music whenever you step outside.

Gran Turismo 2 | PS1 | Blue Line (Instrumental Version)

I’ll be honest: I actually became a fan of Blue Line when Dunkey used it in his review of God of War.

There’s no denying the power of a great saxophone piece (Candy Dulfer, thank you for what you do), and Blue Line doesn’t disappoint one bit.

Disco Elysium | PC | Whirling-in-Rags Hotel (Day)

One of my favorite locations in gaming is Fiona’s apartment in The Longest Journey. That early-2000s chunky 3D aesthetic somehow feels both retro and futuristic at the same time.

My ultimate aspiration in life? To retire somewhere in Europe, in an apartment like Fiona’s—or Nico’s from Broken Sword—and have music like this play in the background as I make my third cup of tea for the day.
