Astro's Playroom was a really unexpected surprise for me. Released in 2020 as a pack-in title with the PS5, it was a cute little platformer that paid homage to Playstation's history, and I had a great time with it.

Another good volume, though just a bit repetitive. We a small time jump and yet another tournament. It's well done, and a nice opportunity to shine some light on other characters besides Goku, but there is a feeling of "haven't we done this before?".

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Repository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
