This is the final third of a three-part review. Parts One (Planet Coaster) and Two (Jurassic World: Evolution) here. They say much of what I want to say in this review, so I'll keep this extremely brief. Planet Zoo gives me more of what I wanted to see. Quick acquisition of animals, minute organization of … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #27: Planet Zoo

Golem Project Part 14
Draft 1.14 Golem Project In Progress First Chapter Previous Chapter A raindrop hit the pavement by Wessel’s knee, making a sharp ‘splat’ sound. Another followed, then another. The rain was returning. Wessel looked up. Should he go into the fast food station for cover from the rain? That would work, but then what? He’d be … Continue reading Golem Project Part 14
Steam Cleaning #26: Lunistice
I've never made any secret of the fact that I love me a good platformer. Lunistice is a good platformer. Lunistice isn't a game with a gimmick. It emulates the gameplay flow of games like Crash Bandicoot, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Donkey Kong Country while adapting its visual style to match PS1 classic games. It … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #26: Lunistice
Steam Cleaning #25: Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
Dark Souls II has been in my Steam Library for a long time. It was my first Souls-Like experience. I quite disliked it. Three times I tried to play this game, and three times I failed to even reach the first boss. And yet years later I come crawling back again, thirsting for more Dark … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #25: Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
The Crew (The God Dust Saga #1) by Sadir S. Samir
The first sentence of The Crew made me groan. Every sentence thereafter pulled me further in. I'll be frank, The Crew is not a literary masterpiece. The prose is ham-fisted and graceless from the first line, that is, when it isn't committing errors that should have been edited out. The main characters are mostly following … Continue reading The Crew (The God Dust Saga #1) by Sadir S. Samir
Steam Cleaning #24: Bad North – Jotunn Edition
Bad North is one of those titles that takes a game genre and strips it down to its base elements to see what makes it tick. In this game, it's the real-time strategy that is being minimalized. Gone is the resource mining, unit selection, huge maps, and epic wars. All that remains is the rock-paper-scissors … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #24: Bad North – Jotunn Edition
Golem Project Part 13
Draft 1.13 Golem Project In Progress First Chapter Previous Chapter Wessel stood there for what seemed like a solid minute, looking up. He’d never seen the electric plant without that coil at the top, sending out arcs of lightning into the sky. It seemed so empty without that movement. Like he was standing at the … Continue reading Golem Project Part 13
Steam Cleaning #23: Spark the Electric Jester 3
I like games where I can move quickly. A soft spot in my soul remains for games like Tribes: Ascend and Crumble, where I can blitz across levels at insane speed if I connect the right amount of luck and skill. One the other end of the spectrum sits the 3d Sonic the Hedgehog games, … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #23: Spark the Electric Jester 3
Steam Cleaning #22: AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
Well. That's a game title. AARDfG is actually a game I picked up a while back, because a skydiving arcade-style game sounded cool. I played it for half an hour, then left it behind and didn't crack it open again until now. Was it worth coming back to? Kind of, yeah. But I'm also about … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #22: AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
Steam Cleaning #21: Crumble
Crumble was an anticipated release for me. I followed some videos I saw about it online and got really excited about the speed and precision of the tongue-slinging slime ball character, then bought the game day one. It turned out the speed and precision were more… theoretical. At least in my case. In Crumble, the … Continue reading Steam Cleaning #21: Crumble
