I do know I’m greater than able to throw off my second quilt, and I’m sick of conserving heat by throwing spare cash bundles on the hearth, (I’m a Video games Journalist in any case).

Whereas not fairly as jam-packed as 2022, the beginning of this yr has seen the discharge of fairly few large releases, and we’re now getting into one thing of a dry interval (although we nonetheless have just a few gems coming in March). It’s unusual how the business is but to fairly restore its calendar to its pre-COVID standing, and the beginning of the yr is now the brand new “Vacation releases” interval. Ehh, not that there’s any level in complaining, all of us have far, far too many video games to get via anyway, such is the insatiable urge for food of our interest.

Double Peace Out

It’s been one other busy-busy week right here on the great ship Destructoid, however I nonetheless had sufficient time to run via the extremely satisfying Gothic platformer Grim Guardians: Demon Purge. A title that shocked me on a number of ranges, I had an excellent time with what’s, at its coronary heart, a comparatively simplistic launch that goals for attainable objectives and achieves them handily. Make sure to take a look at my full evaluate proper right here.

Apart from that, I spent a bit of time, bafflingly, getting again on my Siege bullshit. It’s been a very long time. Lengthy sufficient, in actual fact, that I used to be shocked to be taken down by each Like a Dragon‘s Goro Majima and NieR: Automata‘s 2B… Y’know, these iconic Tom Clancy characters. Ehh, I’m being facetious, in fact. It’s a implausible shooter and nonetheless gives up intense, twitchy, nail-biting motion.

What’s subsequent for yer pal, Moyse?.. I’ve a horrid feeling it would contain zombies and an island of some type. Pfffffft… The hits I take for this crew within the identify of protection.
