Overcooked 2: Steak Burrito
These past few weeks, I have been playing Overcooked 2. I am currently a little over halfway through the main campaign and can’t get enough of this game. Overcooked 2 truly shines while playing with friends. Each level, we will start off by exploring the layout of the land and figuring out the tasks for…
Pillars of Eternity – Darkest Rauatai Cookies
There’s a knock on the door. “Finally,” you say to yourself grumpily, “I ordered that pizza over an hour ago.” You get up and walk to the door and open it, finding a man with a red hat and a disinterested look holding your order. “You uh, order?” “YES, a while ago actually.” You reach…
Golf Story: Raspberry Soda
This past weekend, I finally finished my playthrough of Golf Story. I am not a fan of the sport of golf and sports video games are typically a hard pass for me. Golf Story is a completely different type of sports game and I loved every moment of it. This game was a complete surprise…
Enter the Gungeon: Meatbun
My husband doesn’t like looking up spoilers or game mechanic explanations when playing games, so his recent run through of Enter the Gungeon with the newly released Advanced Gungeons and Draguns update was even more suspenseful! Since he’s still in the dark about some game spoilers, he didn’t understand why certain items started popping up…

Outnumbered but…
Battle Chef Brigade: Tombstone Tacos
This week, Battle Chef Brigade is releasing a Deluxe edition of the game. Battle Chef Brigade is a puzzle cooking game with combat to find your ingredients. It is an extremely unique game and the story is delightful. I was able to connect on a personal level to the game very easily like it was…
Tales of Vesperia: Crepe
At E3 this year, a definitive remastered edition of Tales of Vesperia was announced for its 10th anniversary. This edition will include all the additions that were added when the game was released on the PS3 in Japan only. My husband and I picked up that version and attempted to make our way through the…
Rune Factory 4: Curry Udon
One of my favorite farming simulation series is Rune Factory. This was one of my first experiences with a farming simulator that had a bit of dungeon exploring. Since this game came out, it has influenced many games in the genre to adapt these additional mechanics. Of course, my typical focus on these games is…
