Reposted by BryanHayes Madsen @solfleet.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I like Zero Company a lot. Strong tactics that smartly uses the Star Wars universe to accentuate gampelau. But wht I think is most fascinating is the tone of the story. Essentially a Rebellion-era style of story set against the aesthetic backdrop of the Clone Wars. www.space.com/entertainmen...space.com'Star Wars: Zero Company' review: XCOM-like strategically recaptures the magic of your favorite Star Wars filmsBitreactor's blend of XCOM combat and a smaller-stakes story nails what makes the Star Wars franchise so special. 35715

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I constantly go between all three games for their soundtracks, they are all so good. For XB2, I think I go back to Leftherian Archipelago (day) more often than not. For XB3, Weight of Life for sure. XB1, Beyond the Sky still makes me tear up. I could list like 20 songs. 030
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Final Fantasy X was a formative game for me, something I'll never really truly be able to look at objectively.

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I'm not very active on here, but it's been really cool to support RPG Site in small ways for the past 9 years or so in my spare time. I mostly just hope people continue to find our coverage useful, informative, and hopefully complementary to the bigger sites out there. 080
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Really sucks how many days like today we've had in the past ~4 years in the games media space. It's awful every time and I'm kinda depressed I'm struggling to keep track of them all because it's been that frequent. 020

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 12/10/202521. Dark Deity 2 Way better gameplay than the first. Maps have interesting objectives / fog / etc. Ability/ring systems give some cool sense of progression. A better general narrative. But, trying not to be hyperbolic, one of the worst protags ever. Sucked a huge chunk of my enjoyment out of it 010
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 12/10/202520. Dark Deity This game was just 'ok'. The story was fine if a little bland, the maps are open without a lot of intricacies. The weapon token system was a bit strange. The bones of a ok game are there, but it feels more like a prototype than anything. Best thing going for it was the character art. 100

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 27/09/202519. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Not sure what can be said that hasn't already been said widely... Falcom could have easily compromised a Sky FC remake in so many ways, but they didn't, they nailed it. It felt faithful to the original such that it felt like I had already played it, in a good way! 150
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 13/09/202518. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Filled in a big gap in my play history by completing Oblivion for the first time! Enjoyed my time with it, but I can definitely see the "scaling" criticisms from 20 years ago. Lots of very-samey locations, and I wasn't feeling the expansion area at all. 110
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 13/09/202517. Drova: Forsaken Kin Tried this on strong word of mouth...it has a lot going for it! Seen it compared to Morrowind/Gothic...only comparison I have is Elex, but I see it. Fun quest design, unforgiving but rewarding world, story hiccups are the only things holding it back from being a no-doubter. 120
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Finally decided to buy a Switch 2, I guess a Fire Emblem confirmation is what pushed me over the edge, haha. Downloaded Mario Kart World and Tears of the Kingdom....playing TotK at a high framerate is really nice 180
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 14/08/202516. The First Berserker: Khazan I'm proud of this one! I managed to beat it on Expert with no summons. I looked up every guide on the internet and overleveled for the final boss... but still! Excellent bosses, kinda mid everything else. It's a pretty self-confident game, the best kind of "7/10". 120
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 14/08/202515. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time I respect this game a lot. It's endlessly surprising and feels like 3 games in one with how much is packed in. However, I ended up bouncing off of it (though I did finish it). It's a bit of a "fill the bars" experience that I didn't gel with at the time. 100
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 14/08/202514. System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster I'm glad I set aside a small amount of time for this. Easy to see how this game was one that inspired so many others that came after it. Seems highly replayable in a way that similar games today often aren't. I should play more immersive sims.. 100
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 14/08/202513. Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon An ambitious but rough game. I was not expecting to vibe with the alternate-Arthurian mythos at all, but I came around to like it a lot! The UI underwent a major change and a lot of voice acting was added mid-playthrough, which made it feel very early-access. 100
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Just now saw this article Paul, made me tear up a little too. 110

Watching him negotiate the gameplay mechanics on his own has been amazing. DKB is a great game, but the real pleasure has been watching my little gamer grow. 🥰open.substack.comDriving Me BananzaWhile illness derailed my chance to play Donkey Kong Bananza with my five-year old son, watching him figure it out on his own has been a delight 8244
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 11/07/2025The rare review from me! Picked up Fall of Avalon completely on a whim. Going in, I'm not sure I gelled with the general vibe. But I had a blast, though the game felt thin and very WIP. A hesitant recommendation now, but I can see it being a really special game in a ~year once its all polished up. 040

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 25/06/202512. Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army A perfectly adequate game, the definition of "It's fine." I wish it leaned into the investigative angle more. The first few chapters give just a hint of it and then it falls off a bit. Though I was not expecting the story to go where it goes! 110

Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 13/06/202511. Kingdom Come Deliverance II Really enjoyed this one, and it took me all month to play. A serious step up from the original technically, and still a relatively low-stakes story (but escalating!) A fair bit easier than the first game too. Excellent script, good characters, many good distractions. 120
Reposted by Bryankate bush’s husband @airbagged.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Momocon pretty much confirmed to me that despite how vitriolic the internet has been lately, the weird ass racist edgelords you encounter online only exist in those spaces and the general “anime” fandom isn’t filled with these freaks.

Reposted by BryanRebekah Valentine @duckvalentine.bsky.social · 25/05/2025I think, VERY broadly speaking, books and film are allowed to have messy, unsatisfying endings and games are often not. I loved this game start to finish and I love that it committed to the messy ending its protagonists were absolutely always heading toward. 131278
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 21/05/202510. Lunar Remastered Collection This year I've played a handful of remastered RPGs that I missed when I was young (Saga, Suikoden, now Lunar). While I probably enjoyed Lunar 1/2 the least of the three, I still enjoyed it a lot. Also Lunar 2 was legitimately challenging at times, which surprised me. 120
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 21/05/20259. Monster Hunter Wilds I didn't really feel this one. Part of it is the game and part of it was me. I put so much time into World/Rise that I think Wilds was not different enough to hold my attention. Also the repetition between low and high rank really surprised me. Not bad, just bored me a bit. 110
Bryan @neomassicot.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Oop, I haven't been doing well keeping this up to date.. 8. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Any incredibly impressive debut title. Not perfect (Lumina UI/UX) but I'm not sure there's another title this year that I would recommend as highly. I probably would have scored it a 10 if I had reviewed it. 110
