Horizon II: Forbidden West‘s failures are greatly outnumbered by its achievements, earning it ‘epic sequel’ status among many Horizon: Zero Dawn fans (including myself). Improvements and additions to game play are [by and large] positive and met with fan satisfaction. However, one story line – critical to both games – falls far too short by omitting what should probably have been a, rather literal, boss fight.…

After spending more than 300 hours in the 8-bit cottagecore bliss that Stardew Valley has so diligently provided in PC/console game format, it was time for me to travel to a new version of the valley.

It’s a big statement, but I stand by it. Thanks to the studio’s inclusion of an extensive and highly versatile photo mode for taking impressive screenshots, being an in-game photographer was how I spent half my time around Tsushima and Iki islands.…
