I’d just finished Far Cry 3 and was looking for a less…murderous game to play next when I stumbled upon Abzu in my steam library. My new projector had just arrived too, so I was hankering to try it out on something beautiful. I was originally planning to watch a movie, but I’d heard Abzu…

I’ve been thinking lately about high agency level design and I remembered hearing that Far Cry 3’s outposts were really well done, so it’s been on my list for a while. Since I’ve been working on a game that might use a similar style of levels, I decided it was a good time to give…

I recently finally played dishonored, which was one of those games I knew I’d enjoy but never got around to playing. I was going to review it, but since my complaints about it are mostly not very interesting, I thought I’d just go in depth about a specific one. Dishonored was great and I enjoyed…
