It was also STAR WARS and managed to fumble that. Inspiring, really.

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

My finances are really strong. My bank told me I have an *outstanding* balance.

High on Life 2 review: High On Life 2 expands on the originalโ€™s best ideas, including the absurd and memorable boss fights and some neat new concepts, like the skateboarding mechanic. Unfortunately, it also takes a step backward in plenty of other areas, like its underwhelming story, even sloppier gunplay, and rough technical performance. Score: 6

Like any joke you've heard multiple times before, High on Life 2 just doesnโ€™t land quite as well as the original.

High On Life 2 Review - IGN Like a joke you've heard before, this sequel just doesnโ€™t land quite as well as the original.

My review of High on Life 2 (@highonlifegame.bsky.social) is live! It offers some memorable moments and funny gags, but isn't quite as much of an evolution as I had hoped. Check it out, via @ign.com:

The fourth annual "holiday" cook-off between me and @tieguytravis.bsky.social is finally live!

This year we chose Eat the Borderlands in honor of us reviewing Borderlands 4 together. And my good buddy Paul even makes a cameo appearance. ๐Ÿพ

I guess we canโ€™t actually know who is right here without knowing what mechanically is happening.

Did he just learn as the player, or is he having his piano skills upgraded via skill points spent by some theoretical player?

07.02.2026 07:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But he also retains the skills, like being able to shred on the piano. Thatโ€™s definitely meta progression!

Groundhog Day would be a Roguelite, because he remembers previous runs and thereby gets โ€œstrongerโ€ with each loop.

50 First Dates is a true Roguelike because she loses her memory with each new run.

I haven't watched any of our Review interviews we started doing, but I had to watch this one because I miss @danstapleton.bsky.social and he's one of my favorite humans and I'm glad he still freelancing with us.

Also X-Cat aka Mewgenics looks sick.

Huntdown: Overtime is a goofy, retro, and delightfully violent roguelike.

I adore this game, but agree that for a more general audience Morrowind is very unpalatable. Even those with fond memories of it would wrestle with outdated game design. Sucks, but true.

Thatโ€™s okay, though! You donโ€™t have to withstand the test of time to be a masterpiece of your generation.

Highguard Review So Far - IGN So far this FPS genuinely stands out with a compelling new game mode and snappy gunplay.

Completely understandable! There are tons of really great games to play right now and finding time for the weird Destiny crossover thing is not easy. It's pretty short though.

Destiny 2: Renegades Review - IGN This Star Wars-flavored expansion is cringey and light on content, but whatโ€™s there works surprisingly well.

My review of Destiny 2: Renegades (@destinythegame.bungie.net) is live on @ign.com. The idea of crossing Star Wars with Destiny works better than I thought, but the expansion is a bit on the lean side.

Escape From Tarkov Review - IGN The pioneer of the extraction shooter is still compelling, but it's also saddled with plenty of issues.

I reviewed Escape From Tarkov, a game I love and will likely play for many more hours to come. But, friends, the 1.0 launch has been pretty rocky. In my review, I try to balance my admiration for this game with its current reality, via @ign.com:
