Ladies, gents, and merry outlaws, lend me your ears for I've traversed the digital Sherwood, not with a bow and quiver, but with a keyboard and a dream of unbiased critique. And, oh boy, Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders—a title that promises grandeur and delivers... well, let's just say it's been an adventure, and not always the kind you'd write ballads about.

Ladies, gents, and fellow empire builders, strap in. You're about to dive headfirst into the chaotic, bug-infested, yet strangely captivating world of Myth of Empires. Oh boy, where do we even start with this one? It's like going on a blind date, expecting a knight in shining armor but ending up with a dude who's got the charm of a wet sock and the reliability of a paper condom. But hey, it's not all doom and gloom, so let's break this shitshow down, shall we?

Stepping into the virtual arcade of Coin Pusher Casino, I was instantly hit with a wave of nostalgia. It's like TreeNutsGames took every little memory of arcade euphoria, digitized it, and then cranked up the dial to eleven. So, buckle up as I dive into this digital treasure trove and see if it lives up to the coin-pushing legacy.

Stepping into the mystical world of Enshrouded felt like being transported into a fantasy epic, where every corner of its expansive, fog-drenched realm promised adventure, danger, and discovery. Embarking on this journey, I was met with a world that was as unforgiving as it was beautiful, presenting a survival experience that pushed my limits while rewarding my curiosity.

Alright, strap in folks, 'cause we're diving headfirst into "BUILDERS OF GREECE," and let me tell ya, it's a ride more bumpy than Zeus's love life. This game promised us the chance to don our finest togas, sip on some ancient wine, and build a city that would make even Pericles green with envy. Instead, we got something that feels like it was cobbled together during a Dionysian revelry gone wrong.

Stepping from the grim Soviet aesthetics of Atomic Heart into "Trapped in Limbo" is like expecting a brooding sequel to "Blade Runner" and instead getting a fever dream penned by Dr. Seuss on a sugar high. This DLC pivots so hard into the absurd that it leaves skid marks on the original's narrative pavement.

Back with a Bang, or a Whimper? Riding the wave of the original's unexpected success, House Flipper 2 had some big shoes to fill. The first game was a dark horse, thriving despite its glitches and humble assets. Now, with more cash in the bank, the sequel had to step up its game. And oh boy, it did – but not without a few creaky floorboards along the way​​​​.

Epic Games, a household name in the gaming industry, has made a move that's nothing short of perplexing. Known for its CEO Tim Sweeney's vocal stance against adult content, NFTs, and self-published games, Epic has now rolled out the red carpet for blockchain games rated Adults Only (AO) - but only if their AO status is due to blockchain technology. This decision has left many scratching their heads and questioning Epic's consistency.

Alright, strap in, folks, 'cause we're about to take a rollercoaster ride through the bizarre world of Anthem. Remember that game? The one that came crashing down like a drunk bird out of the sky? Yeah, that one. Now, get this: despite being labeled a bigger flop than a fish out of water, this bad boy somehow, someway, found its way into the hands of a whopping 5 million gamers. Mind = blown.

Alright, strap in, because we're about to take a journey down memory lane with a detour through the Twilight Zone, courtesy of gaming's own auteur, Hideo Kojima.

Alright, fellow digital denizens, it's time to roll up our sleeves and dive into the latest from the pixelated trenches of game development, where Bethesda's very own Emil Pagliarulo has donned the velvet glove to give us a gentle slap of reality. In a Twitter thread that's longer than a Skyrim load time, Emil waxes philosophical about how us gamers are so "disconnected from the realities of game development," yet we hold our megaphones to the heavens with gusto.

Hey, Vault Dwellers and Wasteland Wanderers! Gather 'round the ol' Pip-Boy because I've got some news that might make you feel like you've just chomped on a slightly irradiated piece of newsfruit. That shiny "next-gen update" for Fallout 4 we've been drooling over since 2022? Yeah, it's taking a detour, and it won't be hitting our rigs until 2024.

Hold on to your joysticks, folks, because I'm about to drop some news that's as heavy as a console without a carry handle. The gaming grapevine's been buzzing, and it's not the good kind of buzz that comes with a new game drop. This time, the static's coming from @ScottApogee, who's just let slip a piece of info that's as sour as a lemon-flavored power-up. The Embracer Group has taken a swing with the layoff axe, and it's Danish studio 3D Realms catching the sharp end.

Alright, buckle up, gaming junkies and digital deal hunters! The rumor mill's been working overtime, and it looks like Epic Games Store is gearing up to play Santa Claus, but with a wicked twist. We're not talking about one, two, or even five freebies. Nah, we're talking about a jaw-dropping 17 free games during the EGS Holiday Sale 2023! That's right, folks, you heard it here first. Seventeen! It's like they're trying to make our hard drives groan under the weight of all these games.

"Bread" usually doesn't evoke a sense of epic adventure, but "Born of Bread" changes that in a yeast-y flash. Our protagonist, Loaf – a magically created dough-boy, leaps out of the oven into a grand quest full of quirky humor and bread puns. The story, while occasionally feeling like it's on a speed run through a toaster, offers charming dialogue and a heartwarming plot that's easy to digest​​​​.

Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind some of the most head-scratching, boundary-pushing games (think 'Metal Gear Solid' with its "WTF" moments), is at it again. This time, he's stirring the pot with a bunch of new trademarks that have got the gaming community's tongues wagging and brains buzzing. Let's break down these mysterious trademarks and speculate wildly, because that's half the fun, right?

It's a scene straight out of a gamer's dystopian novel: "The Day Before," touted as a blockbuster hit, crashes into the wall of reality with over 200,000 initial sales and a staggering 90,000 refunds​​. That's nearly half the players asking for their money back, a statistic that screams louder than a banshee in a silent room.

When Fntastic studio burst onto the gaming scene, it brought with it the promise of "The Day Before," a game that was to redefine the survival MMO genre. But as quickly as the hype train left the station, it derailed in spectacular fashion. Today, we've been served a cold dish of reality with the studio's closure, and it leaves a bitter taste in our mouths.

Alright, folks, I booted up "SteamWorld Build" and was immediately smacked in the face with a steampunk wasteland vibe that's as charming as it is desolate. It's like stepping into a robot's daydream, complete with an abandoned railway station and a mine shaft that screams adventure.

Following the rocky launch of No Man's Sky, you'd think Sean Murray would tread carefully with Hello Games' next big project. Yet, at The Game Awards 2023, he proved he's not one to shy away from ambitious dreams. Murray unveiled "Light No Fire," a game that's been in the works for the last half-decade and is boldly described as "something very different" and "maybe more ambitious" than their previous work.
