“Atomic hearts gathering system SUCKs” said far too many punny reddit users, before getting voted into oblivion by humourless drones. The following video is going to be an overly nitpicky look at the looting in atomic heart, and looting in general just a tad, if you have any thoughts at all on this or even…
Neon light is a brand new roguelite that recently dropped it’s early beta on steam and has been racking up the positive reviews. Consider this one of them. In brief This game is a platformer action brawler with rhythm elements VERY lightly sprinkled on top. Unlike many roguelites this game makes you feel immediately awesome…
There have been plenty of videos out there about the specs of the Retroid Pocket 3. But I want to get even further into the weeds of an already obscure topic and complain about this god damn case. Other people have already complained on reddit about this issue but I’m worried that those concerns aren’t…
I recently wrote a piece about how to not waste your wishes in Genshin Impact, and a lot of that info is still relevant in Honkai Star Rail, a game that wears a lot of the same skeleton as Genshin Impact (although, as I might say in a post later down the line, Star Rail…
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection sales hit 1 million units world wide a few days ago, making it the fastest selling Megaman game of all time. I feel somewhat vindicated because I’mma be straight with you, they’re the only megaman games I haven’t bounced off. Battle Network a beautiful unique game. And there’s nothing…

The release of Bravely Default on the 3DS set us into a new era of JRPG. It was a perfectly packaged throwback to what made the genre great to begin with while also subverting systems in the genre enough to make it palatable to a modern audience. It also set the stage for a new…
It’s time to give the most prestigious award of the year, that’s right it’s the Rathole Game of the Year. This is an award where we take time to reflect and try and remember all the games we played over the last 12 months, and hopefully recall one we enjoyed that was actually released in…
My very DNA has been etched with the influences of Dwarf Fortress. It’s in my blood, it’s in this very blog. In fact way back in the day I made the first usable .TTF font based on the Dwarf Fortress Tileset. It was in 2012 in fact, and it’s still one of the most visited…
Eastward is one of those Indy titles you can just feel GOTY potential dripping off of looking at the cover art. The level of polish on the loving pixel art is off the fucking charts. The premise is on point, the father daughter protagonists were made in a lab for attracting awards (almost literally), and…
