Pensive and unhurried, The Fall takes its time exploring its themes as you explore its darkest labyrinths.
Is Overcooked a fun couch co-op experience about the joy of creating delicious meals, or a treatise on the inevitable descent of all things into chaos? The Sometimes Vaguely Philosophical Mage says: why not both?
No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.

Because I feel that, in the Heavens above
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love
None so devotional as that of ‘Mother’

One night I had a frightful dream in which I met my grandmother under the sea. She lived in a phosphorescent palace of many terraces, with gardens of strange leprous corals and grotesque brachiate efflorescences, and welcomed me with a warmth that may have been sardonic. She had changed – as those who take to the water change – and told me she had never died. Instead, she had gone to a spot her dead son had learned about, and had leaped to a realm whose wonders – destined for him as well – he had spurned with a smoking pistol. This was to be my realm, too – I could not escape it. I would never die, but would live with those who had lived since before man ever walked the earth.

“Nintendo games are for children and you should be ashamed for playing them as an adult”. Guess what? They don’t care.
Nintendo censorship, a story from my childhood I’ve never told, and playing Castlevania for the first time ever.
Cut from the same cloth as previous Kirby adventures, Epic Yarn is sew good, at least it seams that way to me… but let’s not get a thread of ourselves… is it a “kiddie” game? Quilty as charged.
