Last year, I didn’t really feel anything with turning 30. Today I’m 31, and OOF I’m feeling it now. There’s something about being over that bump that made me feel uncomfortable. Let the crisis set in! lol

I never really understood the survivor like genre, just never really interested me. But now I’ve been playing Megabonk for the past few hours and…

Ghost of Yotei is next week! I think I need to make a plan of action… Ok so, need to finish Silksong and Hell is Us. And after Ghost, jump into Silent Hill or Trails 🤔 One thing is for certain… TOO MANY GAMES

Crazy thought in the middle of the night… What if I do only focus on my backlog and then for “new” games, I just become a F2P gamer?

What’s hard about running a website centered on reviews is feeling the need to keep up with new releases. Meaning that I miss out on a lot of great games that end up in a near endless backlog. (1/3)

Coming up on the half year mark of Quest Break in just a couple weeks!! Let’s look at our stats so far: • 10 Reviews • 1 Preview Event • 5,000+ views • 1 Email Subscriber • 2 Patreon Members (even though I haven’t been using it…) • And an almost functional Discord server!

I have a massive backlog. I have a bunch of games coming out soon I want to play. But something is telling me I should pickup Trails in the Sky tomorrow for my Switch 2…. Granted I’ve never played a Trails game… BUT I’m seeing a lot of hype and can’t help but get mixed up in it… Thoughts?

This is incredible. Also you know I love puzzle games when I’ve played a majority of these already. But there are still quite a few I haven’t even heard of! Consider them added to the list 💪🏽

Late night bump for the Arctic Awakening review! Give it a read and see if it’s something you’d be into, as it launches tomorrow. And thanks to everyone whose checked it out already 🫡

Plane crashes. Conspiracies. Survival. Arctic Awakening is an episodic narrative adventure that succeeds in its storytelling but misses with its gameplay mechanics. Fans of walking sims and a focus on narrative above all else should give this one a look. Our review: questbreak.com/reviews/arct...

I’m sorry, but after playing the demo, the only Little Nightmares thing about Little Nightmares 3 is the name. Supermassive is doing their best, but you can tell it’s a different studio.

With the Henry Halfhead review now out, I can start working on my next!! It’s embargoed for tomorrow morning, so be on the lookout for it! 😊 And for now, checkout Henry Halfhead, my review is short and sweet, just like the game: questbreak.com/reviews/henr...

Henry Halfhead is short, sweet, and worthy of your time. It’s the type of game that is an experience more than anything, and if you’re able, bring a friend, it’s all the more fun for it. Our review: questbreak.com/reviews/henr...

For #NationalVideoGameDay, quote with four upcoming games you’re excited for! 🕹️

Currently writing 2 reviews, one is embargoed, the other isn’t, just something I beat this week. But another embargoed review I need to do is also for next week, and I’ve only reached the halfway point 🫣 Am I biting more than I can chew? lol. Either way, you’ll have 3 reviews next week from me 😅

Really enjoyed this Nintendo Direct! I just have one problem, there’s now even more games I want to play before the years end 😓 Going to have to start buying with intention and only buy what I know I have the time to play!

Been listening to this before settling in for the night, and it’s such a nice way to end the day. These 2 are a joy to listen to! Not even finished yet and already can’t wait for episode 2. Huge congrats on the launch @bignerdgaming.bsky.social !!

Was upset earlier that my Hell is Us copy was delayed to who knows when, cause I wanted to plow through that before starting Silksong. But decided to pickup the Switch 2 version of Silksong, and WOW. I’m only a few hours in, but I’m certifiably addicted. Already enjoying it more than Hollow Knight

Support Westen in this endeavor!! Big NerdGaming is a voice that deserves to be heard. Also I’m selfish and want more episodes so do it!

I’m always stoked when a review code comes through weeks in advance. Nothing better than being given ample time to complete and form a review well ahead of time!

Finished Sword of the Sea last night, one of the most stunningly beautiful games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing.

Seeing A LOT of game delays with the announcement of Silksong. Which I think is honestly the smart move. You can’t deny that it’s gonna eat up all the attention come release and in it’s lead up, even if you yourself aren’t excited for it.

We should make this change for movie animations as well! 😎

Started Sword of the Sea tonight. Wow.

Doing a PM bump. Thanks to all who’ve checked out the review so far, I deeply appreciate it!

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Herdling is a beautiful experience bogged down by its controls. Sweeping vistas with a score alongside it, reminiscent of games like Flower and Journey. It’s just a shame that it’s not as enjoyable as it could’ve been due to how it feels. Our review: questbreak.com/reviews/herd...

(No, Silksong's release date will not be announced today at Gamescom Opening Night Live, despite Geoff Keighley's teasing)

Here we go. Silksong will have a "special announcement" on Thursday at 10:30am ET. AND coming from me on Thursday, the story behind why Silksong took seven years to make... Stay tuned! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XGe...

I have rolled credits on Donkey Kong Bananza. Peak gaming right there. Debating on if I’ll do a review of it. It’ll basically be three words in length, “BUY IT ALREADY”. I’m in the post game now, and excited as ever to get that 100%

Mafia: The Old Country feels like a step back both in time and towards the earlier games in the franchise, rather than pushing into the new direction that 3 was going for. It’s still an enjoyable experience, but otherwise lacking. Our review: questbreak.com/reviews/mafi...

Just hit the 80% mark in Mafia The Old Country, we’re getting it to the end. Should have it finished tomorrow with a review this upcoming Sunday. It has its problems but I can’t deny I’ve been enjoying my time with it. Looking forward to seeing its conclusion. But for now, it’s goodnight 😴

It’s already been a few days and I haven’t seen @bignerdgaming.bsky.social mention the Chained Echoes DLC, and I’m starting to get concerned.

Truly feels like I’m playing a movie. I know it’s not the type of game for everyone, but man I’m enjoying every second. #MafiaTOC

Really enjoying my time with Mafia The Old Country so far! Absolutely stunning in terms of quality. But it harkens back to the 360/PS3 era of these tightly nit story based games (in the best way). I miss this linear structure from time to time. Nothing quite like collectible hunting in missions too!

Always impressed the most from the Indie World directs that Nintendo puts on. But maybe it’s just cause I’m more invested in those types of games 🤔 Either way, I’m excited to play Is this Seat Taken and the Mina the Hollower demo, and CANT WAIT to have UFO 50 on my shelf. That companion book 😮‍💨

I’m not big on leaks, BUT I will say, I’m glad that with the Indie World one it was mentioned there will be no Silksong shown during it. Sense of relief washed over knowing I don’t need to worry about will they won’t they 🤣

I was initially writing off the bosses in DK Bananza due to how easy they were. Don’t get me wrong they were cool, but over way too fast. Now that I’ve passed the halfway mark, they’ve gotten SUBSTANTIALLY better and more engaging. My only criticism is that I wish they were this way from the start!

Still angry about Nintendo only offering 2 cartridge sizes. All these game key cards are super disappointing to see. They’re really making me go all digital and it’s unfortunate 🫩

While it was a weaker Nintendo Direct, I’m still stoked on some of the announcements! Mainly Octopath Traveler 0, The Misadventures of Elliot and the Gang in Philadelphia, and I’ve always heard the Monster Hunter Stories games are good 🤔

I love them so much.

Stoked for tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct, even if it’s just a Partner Showcase, because I honestly just want more to play on the system! (games that were built for the 2)

Need to get back on track. Been game jumping too much, I’m regressing!! 😅 Ok update time: - I’m almost done with BANANZA, so that’ll most likely be the next review! - I’ve started Wuchang, Death Stranding 2 and Eriksholm but most likely won’t review these (maybe a thoughts on feature 🤔)

Just a little PM bump for our first ever preview event. Check it out below, let us know what you think!

Witchfire has its new update launching today! And we got to preview it in its lead up to launch, check out our thoughts below and find out why it’s worth your time, even in its Early Access state: questbreak.com/previews/wit...

Ok. This seems fun. I’ll also bite!

Every @andresplays.bsky.social review cements that our tastes are so aligned. I cannot wait to dive into this! Probably won’t review it myself, BUT this is an excellent read!

I have A LOT to play. Even more I need to write about, especially with an embargo next week. But I’m gonna stop everything to become absolutely FILTHY when this drops

Sometimes I yearn for a new multiplayer experience. Like Wildgate comes out in a couple days, and it looks really neat! But then I’m reminded I don’t have the time or friends for it 😔

Donkey Kong BANANZA is incredible. Legitimately haven’t been able to put it down since starting it Wednesday night
