Hello and welcome to GYGO! I’m Kael, your local space peace advocate, and I’ve spent this week replaying Mass Effect. Turns out as much as I disliked the space marine archetype in 2007, I’m even less into it now in 2021. Why isn’t it enough to travel the galaxy lifting heavy objects with my mind and occasionally kissing an alien? Why must we shoot (and also commit like, multiple war crimes while asserting strangely human-centric space colonialism)? Anyway, while not reflecting on violence and the state in space, I was collecting this week’s hottest gaming news. Enjoy! (more…)

I’ve never particularly enjoyed character creation in video games. That isn’t to say I didn’t care about it and went with a preset default, because every time a character screen was presented to me, I really attempted to do my due diligence.

Hello, and welcome to GYGO! I’m Kael, your local gaming psychopomp, and I finally had a chance to dip into Spiritfarer this week. It’s a really cozy game about helping people come to terms with death and also building boats. I absolutely cannot recommend it enough. When I wasn’t getting struck by lightning for the thrill of it, I scoured the net for this week’s gaming news. Enjoy! (more…)

Howdy gamers, and welcome to Sidequest’s roundup of all the news that made us go “…what?” in games this week. But first, what have you been up to lately? I took some much-needed time off over Thanksgiving and got way too into Picross. I also started my first Assassin’s Creed game (Assassin’s Creed II) and took a couple of hours to fall totally in love with the gorgeous and atmospheric game If Found. But, okay, you’re here to read about Cyberpunk 2077 for the thousandth time, right? Well, read on.
