The Nostalgia Nerd’s Retro Tech “Computers, Consoles & Games”

 
How much do you love video games, computers and consoles?

Do you obsess over the great tech from years gone by and reminisce over the legendary video games that you played as child through your teenage years and now still play those games in adulthood?

Chances are then you’ve heard of a certain guy called the Nostalgia Nerd aka Peter Leigh.

❌🎮 “I’m sorry darling, I’m just not in the mood.” 🎮❌ #DivinityOriginalSin

Upon its original release, I picked up Divinity 2: Original Sin and spent thirty frustrating hours with it before uninstalling it from my hard drive and giving up.

Through a mix of glitches, difficulty spikes, strange design choices and a general sense of the game being incomplete, I chalked it up to just not being my thing and moved on to other games.

Now, eighteen months or so later, I thought I’d give it another crack as I’ve been ill for a while and just fancied cancelling all my plans and spending a weekend relaxing and getting hips deep into a full-on RPG to soak up my time.

👹 Review: Monster Loves You - "a charming, if shallow monster’s tale" 👹 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Monster Loves You

Format: Steam (PC)

With its charming, colourful visuals and humourous text, Monster Loves You raised a chuckle or two and a few smiles from me but I couldn’t shake the sense that this feels like a mobile port due to its repetitive nature and shallow depth.

🔪🌲 Review: Log Jammers "Windjammin’ on wood" 🔪🌲 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Log Jammers

Developer: Mega Cat Games

Platform Reviewed: PC (Steam)

Having recently reviewed the re-release of Windjammers on Switch, it was fresh in my mind when playing Log Jammers,which,whilst having a lot going for it has one particular feature which will make or break it in the eyes of players…the sheer breakneck speed of it.
