Grim Dawn review

Posted on March 21, 2017 by SynCaine

Since the release of Diablo 2, way back in the year 2000, basically every ARPG has been trying to be Diablo 3, yet none have truly succeeded, not even the actual Diablo 3. I’m not going to go so far … Continue reading →

In time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings…

Posted on February 27, 2017 by SynCaine

Darkest Dungeon has defeated me, and I’m ok with that. I’ve been playing and greatly enjoying the new Radiant mode, which reduced some of the grind in DD, mostly in how many dungeon runs you need between a fresh recruit … Continue reading →

XCOM 2 – Long War 2 mod review

Posted on January 23, 2017 by SynCaine

When XCOM 2 originally came out I liked it, as it was more of XCOM, and the first game was great. I didn’t love it as much as the original (which I played through twice, once on ironman), but I … Continue reading →

Battle Brothers review

Posted on December 31, 2016 by SynCaine

Battle Brothers is one of those “how f’n hard is this game?” types that I love. It’s not unfair hard, and its not ‘super hard to learn’ hard either. The difficulty is that every little decision before and during battle … Continue reading →

Tyranny review

Posted on November 23, 2016 by SynCaine

Note: This review is going to talk heavily about the story, including the ending, of Tyranny, so if you don’t want any of it spoiled, best to skip this post. I’ve beaten Tyranny once, in about 30 hours, and I … Continue reading →

Civilization VI mini review

Posted on October 24, 2016 by SynCaine

I’ve got 20+ hours of Civ VI under my belt now, which I feel is enough to have a good feel for it, especially since I already have plenty of experience with the series overall. Spoiler: Right now, Civ VI … Continue reading →

Gaming at 3440 x 1440

Posted on August 10, 2016 by SynCaine

My 1080 GTX finally arrived, and after figuring out how to go from two 6-pin power cables to two 8-pin power cables (turns out my 6-pins had tucked-away 2-pin additions, so it was actually very simple once I found those … Continue reading →

Mordheim City of the Damned review

Posted on August 8, 2016 by SynCaine

Little (huge) update: Since I ordered a 1080 GTX and everyone was telling me playing at 1900×1200 was poor people stuff, I also got a Dell UltraSharp U3415W. Now you might be thinking “Syn do you really need a resolution … Continue reading →

TimeWarp – Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor

Posted on July 13, 2016 by SynCaine

A 3rd Timewarp post? Incredible but true! I picked up Middle-Earth Shadow of Mordor on the latest Steam sale, because $7.50 for a GotY title seemed like a smart move. I was right. SoM is very good, especially because it … Continue reading →

Project Zomboid – A box with no sand

Posted on June 20, 2016 by SynCaine

Note: The below might be more of a reflection of my general burnout on zombie survival than Project Zomboid (PZ) itself, but I don’t think so. Also, yea, I’m not sure why I started playing yet another zombie game, but … Continue reading →
