Sim

When I first saw Spiritfarer, I had no clue what the game was. Then, I found out it was a sim and I knew I wanted to play it. Check out the new gameplay trailer below and then come back for even more information on this unique game. Spiritfarer is described as “a cozy management game about dying. You play Stella, ferrymaster to the deceased, a Spiritfarer. Build a boat to explore the world, then befriend and care for spirits…

What if Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon wasn’t focused on farming? What if it had you doing a more sinister job…like running a graveyard! Welcome to Graveyard Keeper for the Nintendo Switch. You are the new graveyard keeper. You’ll be burying bodies, digging them up, selling them for parts, fishing, crafting graves, possibly farming, and other  things. Will you have fun while doing all this or should Graveyard Keeper rest in peace? Graveyard Keeper’s story is basically a way into…

“Bee” a Tiny Hero One of the games I was looking forward to at PAX South was Bee Simulator from Poland’s Varsav Game Studio. I’m always enthused about games with the potential to be both fun and educational.  As a gamer, mother, and full-time educational game design professor I had high hopes for a simulation game. During PAX South, I had the opportunity to play the demo. Varsav Game Studio’s Founder / Vice President Lukasz Rosiński sat down with me…

Do you think its too soon to have another video about Indie games for the Switch? If you said no, then you’re in luck! Nintendo of America announced a Nindie (Indie) Showcase video for this Wednesday. 30 mintues of Nindies?! Wow. Thats a lot of games! I wonder what new games will be revealed during the Showcase. I am surprised that we are getting another video from Nintendo this soon. We just had a couple. Not that I’m complaining! I…

Dreams is a Playstation 4 exclusive game that will let you create your own video game (and other stuff), share it, and play other people’s creations. If you played LittleBigPlanet, you’ll have an idea of what Dreams is but only know the half of it. The LittleBigPlanet series is great. I love it. Dreams is not out yet, but I can already tell you its bigger and better than LittleBigPlanet. How? I got to play the recent Dreams beta on…

I’ve been playing Animal Crossing since the first game on the Gamecube. I even got amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer. I did eventually get rid of amiibo Festival and Happy Home Designer. I don’t regret getting rid amiibo Festival, but I did regret letting go of Happy Home Designer. And so recently I got the game back as a digital download. I’m so glad I did. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer isn’t like the other Animal Crossing games. Its…

Last week/year, I told you about my favorite games of 2018. This week, I want to tell you what games I’m looking forward to the most in 2019! There are so many games coming out this year. Some of the following games may make it onto my best of 2019 list but some might not. There are tons of indie games and other games that I don’t know about. Nintendo always has a surprise or two up their sleeves and…

I’m a horrible driver, in real life and in video games. So I knew going into Spintires: Mudrunner-American Wilds Edition for the Nintendo Switch that I wouldn’t be too good at it. Still, I thought it might be a fun game. Well, at least I was right about one thing. Spintires: Mudrunner-American Wilds Edition isn’t a horrible game but it does feel like a throwback, a game we might have seen on the PS2 or the early PS3. Maybe even…

Last week, I previewed Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God for the Nintendo Switch. And now I’m finally ready to give you my full thoughts on the game. Is Marenian Tavern Story worth check out? Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God doesn’t have a very good story. The game puts a lot more focus on its tavern running than it does the story itself. The dialogue in the game isn’t good either. What about the gameplay…
