Screenshot Saturday: Find all 5: Vikings
I love the “Find all” game series and recently realised that they have added a lot more games since I last checked. Hidden Object Games are fun to play once in a while. What I love about this game series most of all is the graphic style. Another neat feature is that once a part…

Humble Choice (August 2025): Let’s School
After a few months of not writing about any of the games in Humble Choice, this month finally gave me several games to choose from that sound like they could be for me. My Time at Sandrock and Lil Gator Game are both games that look interesting. However, I decided to take a look at…

First Impressions Review: Tales of the Shire
Ever since I first heard about Tales of the Shire, I wanted to have it! When it finally released, I still waited and checked the reviews before deciding to buy it. It is currently sitting at 80 % “Very Positive” reviews. But I usually don’t trust the overall score. I actually particularly like reading the…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Can a Game Be Both Cozy and Challenging?
I needed a few ideas what to blog about and asked ChatGPT. I asked for prompts about indie games, cozy games or MMORPGs. This one was a fascinating question. Can a game be cozy as well as challenging? I, personally, get bored easily when a game does not pose any challenge whatsoever (although I do…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Bloated Steam Wishlist
Every once in a while, when I look at the growing number of items on my Steam Wishlist, I tell myself that I will go through that list soon and remove some. This day finally came yesterday after getting over 300 wishlisted items. I do not even remember adding some of the games and after…

Paeroka’s Ponderings: Games waiting to be played
We all probably have this “pile of shame” of games that we just never played for a number of reasons. I have some that on the one hand, I really want to play but whenever I start them up, I am suddenly not in the mood for it after all. Or there is something shinier…

Steam Next Fest June 2025: My Takeaway
It seems that we are getting the Steam Next Fest with hundreds of demos every four months. Writing about all the demos I tried gets boring, to be honest, which is why I haven’t really done any posts like that the past few times. I am just going to share with you the two games…

Humble Choice (April 2025): Diplomacy is Not an Option
I skipped last month because there was nothing that interested me. This month, however, has three games: Nova Lands, Diplomacy is Not an option and Distant Worlds 2. Out of these three, Diplomacy is Not an Option was the lowest on my priority list. I gave both Nova Lands and Distant Worlds 2 a try,…

Humble Choice (February 2025): Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master
Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master is part of February’s Humble Choice bundle. I actually bought this game in November 2023 but hardly played it. So this month, I offered to write about this game as it gives me a good reason to actually play the game. The question for me personally is: Pile of Shame or Waste…

Screenshot Saturday: Lowland Shore (Guild Wars 2)
No matter what criticism I have had about Guild Wars 2, one thing has always been outstanding for me: The way the world looks. The game’s newest expansion, Janthir Wilds, released last Tuesday. It comes with four new maps. Only two have been released so far, the others will follow with content updates later on.…

Screenshot Saturday: GW2 Screenshot Gallery
I realized it has been years since I last made one of these galleries for a zone of Guild Wars 2. In fact, the last one appeared in 2019. I thought I had done a lot more than I actually did. There are some easy favourites still open like Metrica Province or Gendarran Fields. Then…
