Project Hail Mary Review

December 14, 2022 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Sci-fi isn't normally my genre. I'll take swords, kings, and magic any day over spaceships and physics. Every once in a while, though, I pick up a sci-fi book, and almost every time I find myself really enjoying it. Project Hail Mary is no exception.

The Ramp Review

December 9, 2022 | Reading time: ~1 minute

The Ramp is a very simple skateboarding game. There is no campaign or story mode - the goal is simple: across the 4 tiny maps, get as much air and speed as you can. It's a fun diversion for a few minutes, but not much more.

The Procession to Calvary Review

December 9, 2022 | Reading time: 2 minutes

The Procession to Calvary is Joe Richardson's follow-up to the excellent Four Last Things. Richardson retains the same art style and music that made the first game so unique: public domain paintings - subtly animated - and fittingly classical music gives this series a wholly unique style.

Gunmetal Gods Review

Lego Harry Potter Collection Review

With Hogwarts: Legacy releasing in February, and in the mood for a nice relaxing game, I decided now was a good time to go back to the Lego Harry Potter Collection - a set of games I first played back in 2014 on the PC

Pentiment Review

December 5, 2022 | Reading time: 4 minutes

Pentiment tells the tale of a 16th century Bavarian abbey and the townsfolk it rules. You play as Andreas Maler, journeyman artist from Nuremburg contracted by Kiersau abbey to complete illustrations in the abbey's scriptorium. A slow burn,

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
