Stardew Valley (review and overview)

-

 So recently I started to play Stardew valley on Pc, I had originally played it on the xbox. The game really reminded me of a Harvest Moon concept and I think at that point I heard the current Harvest Moon was terrible, so I decided to go with Stardew instead.

    Now in the last few months they actually updated the game, adding a few new NPCS and new areas. But I have falling into a rabbit hole of learning how to use mods. Which has enabled me to add more npcs, add clothing changes per season, adding new areas, new events, new conversations, and a little bit of help here and there. (because like fishing sucks)

    The base of the game is pretty simple, you farm, forage, mine, attack things in the mine, fish, and build relationships with the other characters. You can build things on your farm, like a coop, barn, ponds, and other things. After a while in game you'll also unlock the community center, which as you fill up the needed items you can unlock more aspects of the game. Like a bus that goes to another location, a bridge being fixed to a quarry and more. 

    As you build your relationship with a single character you can actually marry them and have children. (doesn't matter the gender you marry) You have to upgrade your house to a certain level I believe before you can. Which is another aspect you can upgrade some building after you build them. Doing the coops and barns all the way will add an auto feeder which is pretty nice and lets you use your time for other things. (I have a mod added that I can pay someone to collect all the farm resources, later in game you can also get an auto grabber that does most for you)

    Now I don't have many gripes with the game other than the not being able to wack things. Sometimes you have to be very particular with where you hit a rock to mine it. Also pay attention to where your mouse is when attacking other wise you might be facing the wrong way trying to fight, and end up taking more health than if you were facing the right way. Also pay attention to your energy, I end up having to go to bed early a lot because I don't have food to fill it back up or I just do too much in a small amount of time. 

    I love the game and I'm now tasked with marrying all the hot guys and having my own harem as I added a mod to marry multiple spouses XD.

Taora: Beginning Taora was developed by Tulpar Games and was published by Tulpar Games and TheGamesFortress. It's an open-world survival community builder.

The Start You start out at a base where the game tells you to grab some tools from storage, right now the only things that are in your base are a storage area, some toilets, and a command center. The storage center is well a small storage area, you later will also be able to make a chest for more organization. The command center is where you can switch between community members and build other stations in the base.  In the storage, you can get a pick axe and an axe. The first task would be to go chop some wood. In the process of that, you'll eventually have to start building the various stations.  Workshop: The

Evie - Cosplay

Evie Evie is a playable character in the game Paladins: Champions of the Realm. It's a free-to-play game that you can play on well pretty much anything, Steam, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox. Developed by Hi-Rez Studios, and Evil Mojo Games this was mainly squad-based FPS.  There are a few modes but the one I played the most was team vs team where me and a few buddies would team up and have to defend a cart that would slowly move through the level. Or if you were on the other team destroy the cart. The goal is to either prevent the cart from getting into the goal area or to stop it.  Cosplay Background Evie was one of the characters I enjoyed not only looks but also the dialogue. Of of my favorites is "I just want to live a normal life, without having to blow everybody up... Oh well!" The abilities she has were fun to play with but I always screwed it up. She had a basic attack from her ice staff. She could turn into an ice block to become immune to dam

Enshrouded - Casual Gaming Review

Enshrouded This is an action-adventure survival base-building game. It was developed and published by Keen Games GmbH. This demo key was given to me by the developers of a program called Keymailer. The demo was out for Next Fest. So, thank you for the key! Gameplay You wake up in a capsule inside a temple. You've been asleep for a long time. As you run out you pretty much have nothing, your first task being to make a base.  As you make your way to the waypoint on the map the game goes through basic concepts. Throwables can blow up and change the terrain as well as the other items. I dug myself in a hole at one point.  A lot of things are breakable so once I got something I could swing (a sword) I started to hit everything I could. Which was good because I was getting all sorts of materials.  There is something called well enshrouded, it's an area that is tainted. Having a light with you decreases the rate at which it affects you. But it's pretty much if
