The End of Year Awards – 2022
The End of Year Awards – 2022
The site maybe on its way out (yes I’ve confirmed that here) but it wouldn’t be December without writing out a better awards post than The Game Awards entire 3 hour advert. I’ve already shown you better awards in 2021 and every year since 2018. This year is likely not only to be the last but it’s also packed with fantastic games. Without further ado, let’s get this show on the road.

The Wind Down
No large preamble or build up this week, For multiple reasons ElderlyGoose.com is going to slowly wind down to a stop. I’ve a few games I want to write up about but these will be done as and when I want to rather than a weekly drive for content until everything is squared away and done.
It has been a blast but this site was always supposed to be a temporary thing, a way to step into pitching and…

Fun Games To Play
Fun Games To Play
This week a lot of events and important things are being cancelled. There is a national call for everyone to be sad and sombre that I’m finding incredibly patronising and exhausting. Rather than dwell on it and write something particularly cynical or confrontational (I have done in the past) I’ve made you a quick list of highlights for you to enjoy. The temptation to include a few choice reviews…

Immortality - Series X
Immortality – Series X
There are some stories that can only told as a video game. A unique understanding that can only be found in an interactive medium and wouldn’t work as a passive experience. Despite being a FMV game (full-motion video, i.e. video footage instead of 3D/2D/Game rendered) where you’ll be largely watching video footage from 3 films, Immortality has a story that needs to be in a video game. Immortality…

Music to chill to when Minecraft's looping soundtrack starts to drive you loopy
Music to chill to when Minecraft’s looping soundtrack starts to drive you loopy
It has been a week. Yes I’m aware it’s only half past the week but lately weeks are becoming months and weekends are becoming hours. Normally I’d tell you to go listen to some Gary Moore but that doesn’t quite match the vibe (go give this a go though) I’ve already written similar posts in the past, “The best video game soundtracks to play while exploring space, the final frontier” and “Great…

GamesCom Opening Night 2022 Highlights
GamesCom Opening Night 2022Â Highlights
I’m pretty wiped at the moment so here’s some highlights of what was a cgi packed GamesCom ONL lineup. You can watch it all on Youtube here.
Disgaea 7 being announced on Twitter by NIS Japan
The strongest start to this post is not even related to GamesCom at all. The same day as ONL we had confirmation from Nis in Japan that Disgaea 7 is being made and a sneak peak at some of the characters and…

Super Bullet Break - Switch
Super Bullet Break – Switch
Who among us hasn’t been bored and installed a gacha game on their phone at 1am? Clicking through menus and unlocking artwork just to get bored within a week, wondering why you played the game in the first place. I’ll admit I’ve played a few of these gacha games ranging from the addictive Granblue Fantasy to the thinly hidden grind of Arknights. Super Bullet Break aims to fulfil that gacha need…

Evo 2022 Highlights
Everyone loves a good anime or gaming convention. It’s a time to remind ourselves that there are plenty of others out there with similar likes and loves. The same happens with the fighting game community where there are multiple big events for each title throughout the year (The Capcom Pro Tour, Tekken World Tour, etc) but the big E3/Summer Games Fest for fighting games is EVO in Las Vegas. Last…

INSIDE - Series X
INSIDE – Series X
I’m all for an artistic experience in video games. Some of my favourite games have very little gameplay but are packed with story and charm. The reason it has taken me so long to play INSIDE since the 6 years ago when it first launched on Xbox 1 is that I didn’t really click with Limbo and every other Misery Mario game that’s come since. A child running, jumping, moving a block and dealing with a…

Anthem - PS4
Anthem – PS4
I started this review back on the 23rd February 2019, it’s so old it was made in blocks (shout out to WordPress editors) and after the initial thoughts of the beta (check that here) I can safely say, nothing has changed. For kicks (and the fact I’m still recovering from a hernia operation and Multiverses is a lot more meh than expected) lets have a look at the notes I made while playing;

Fall Guys - Series X
Fall Guys – Series X
Fall Guys is a live service and this review was written during Season 1 and reflects the general game at this point in time
Like most people who played the original release of Fall Guys on PS4 (before the move to free to play) I’d already had my fill and moved on. There’s rarely a live service game I’ll stick with for a significant amount of time but Fall Guys dropping on PSN Plus meant I spent…

Long Live The Queen - Switch
Long Live The Queen – Switch
There are some indie games you never truly forget about and Long Live the Queen was definitely one of those. It’s a quirky visual novel where you have to balance stats and skills to try and get your Princess through the events that occur. With multiple story choices and a light management style of gameplay you’ll likely be reminded of games such as Yes, Your Grace which feel similar. Given Long…

Vampire The Masquerade Swansong - Series X
Vampire The Masquerade Swansong – Series X
Much like other fans of the original I was quite disappointed to see the cancellation of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. The original Bloodlines game was an immersive sim RPG/FPS and fantastic fun. A fleshed out new sequel was looking like it could be a smash hit and great refresher to the IP. There have been video games using the Vampire: The Masquerade table top RPG rules for a while…

BRB - Lots To Do
BRB – Lots To Do
I’ve new content processing, baking, applying the finishing touches and you’ll see a lot more of that next week. It has also been a very busy (and exhausting) month explaining my enby status and figuring out some new states of being comfortable with myself. If you’re looking for something to read today though here’s something far more important than video game chat;

Cellular Harvest - Switch
Cellular Harvest – Switch
I’ll try any video game once, even ones I don’t typically go for. This is why my gaming history jumps from FIFA to Papers Please to Elden Ring (that’s also why this site has so many varied reviews and previews) Having filled in a few /100 meme pictures I’ve realised quite how many games I’ve played might not be the norm. Taking time away from playing Vampire Survivors for the hundredth hour I…

Vampire Survivors - Pc
Vampire Survivors – Pc
Sometimes you’ll hear about an indie game on a podcast and think, “I should check that out at some point” Inevitably you then forget about it until you see the game again on sale and pick it up wondering why you didn’t play it in the first place. Given Vampire Survivors is currently £2.09 on Steam it was a surprise to see it appear on PC Game Pass as Xbox rarely offers up indies that are normally…

Magic The Gathering Arena - PC
Magic The Gathering Arena – PC
This review has been in the works for so long the text editor for the site was still in an old format. I’ve never planned for this to be a big definitive review as it’s hard to quantify something that changes and adapts regularly over time but as there’s a large single player component still present and multiple options for multiplayer, it’s as good a time as any to write this up (lucky you!) 3…
