And now for something completely different!

I had the honor of appearing on a stream alongside some of my favorite @bloodontheclocktower.com players.

Spoiler: I caused absolute chaos.

Would IGN readers be interested in more content like this?

Yooka-Replaylee Review

Yooka-Replaylee works a little better in this remixed iteration, but introduces all sorts of new wonkiness along the way.

Yooka-Replaylee Review - IGN This remixed platformer works better now, but also introduces new wonkiness.

I revisited Yooka and friends with Yooka-Replaylee, and it's definitely an improvement, but also still quite an antiquated, flawed game. For context, I would have scored the original a 4/10.

Baby Steps Review - IGN

I reviewed Baby Steps (@babystepsgame.bsky.social), an intentionally infuriating walking simulator, and it has inexplicably become one of my favorite games of 2025. Check out my review, where I do my best toโ€ฆexplicastrate, via @ign.com:

I cannot overstate how good of an editor Dan is, and how fierce of a protector he has been for IGN's editorial integrity.

That impact will last beyond him, but I am going to miss him a lot all the same.

The New World Order arrived swiftly and without warning. The pace of atrocities outstripped our ability to understand it. Long Live The King.

Dan has been a tremendously influential mentor to me for the past 8 years and Iโ€™ve always admired him as the GOAT of games critique. His reviews style guide became my holy text when I started writing for IGN. Iโ€™ll miss him covering my drafts in red ink and making me a better, more persuasive writer.

Borderlands 4 Review - IGN

Here's IGN's Borderlands 4 review. According to hardcore series veteran @tieguytravis.bsky.social, it's very much back on track compared to Borderlands 3: www.ign.com/articles/bor...

My review of Borderlands 4 (@borderlands.2k.com) is live and I had a really awesome time with it. The open-world map rules, loot game is badass as hell, and I can't wait to play more.

Wildgate Review - IGN This cooperative shooter makes for a wild ride, but currently feels like a proof of concept for something really great.

Yet another review from me! This time itโ€™s Wildgate (@playwildgate.com), which really impresses with its unique 20-player matches, but could use a fair bit more content/variety at this stage. My review, via @ign.com:

Grounded Review: Thereโ€™s a lot of room for Grounded 2 to grow in early access, including enemy variety, a better base-building system, and especially technical performance. But as incomplete as it is, Obsidian already very clearly has something special on its hands. Score: 8

Grounded 2โ€™s early access debut is a stellar starting point, despite a rocky technical performance.

Some people abandon platforms when they sour, others try to stay thinking they can fix them.

Iโ€™m currently on both, so I donโ€™t know what that makes me. A masochist?
