'We Are OFK' Episode 3 is Here, Grab the Tissues

 Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

The first two episodes of We Are OFK were amazing to say the least, but the story has only just begun. As promised, with the release of episode 3, it is time to talk about it again. Not only did this give us an even deeper look into the band's lives, but there was so much that happened in this episode. I will also keep this very vague to avoid spoilers. So, let's jump right in.

We Are OFK episode 3 was the deepest of the episodes so far in my opinion. It explores a lot of themes are that would be familiar to not only bands, but almost any teenager. It explores the feeling of a parent not believing in their kid's dreams, which for many of us is all so familiar. It also explores success itself, but you'll have to watch to find out what I mean.

Just like last time, the art style of We Are OFK just has me in awe. It is so beautiful yet melancholic at the same time when it needs to be. Even though the actual playing of the game is minimal, I do love exploring the different dialogue prompts given. Yes, I have played all episodes multiple times already, don't judge me. And of course, the characters are still amazing and showcase some great LGBTQIA+ representation. This is all also of course complimented so well by the amazing soundtrack. I have listened to OFK's music so much in my day to day life, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I have no idea what twists and turns they will give us in the last two episodes of We Are OFK, but I am exacted nevertheless. I also have this desire that this won't be the only game-styled project we get from the band, but that may be me just being hopeful.

What do you think of We Are OFK so far? Comment down below! Again, I am so grateful for Team OFK who gave me a copy of this game!

My Top 5 Lego Games

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Lego games have got to be some of the most underrated and iconic games on the market. Some of the best franchises have been made into Lego games, many to a lot of success. There's so many in fact that you may feel a little overwhelmed when picking which ones to try. Well, I'm here to help you. Here are my top 5 Lego games, but to make it a little more fair I have not included Lord of the Rings of Hobbit as they are by far my favourites.

 #1: Lego Bionicle: Quest for the Toa

Lego Bionicle: Quest for the Toa feels like a fever dream at this point. It was honestly one of those Gameboy Advance games that slipped under everybody's radar, but I have really fond memories of my time with it. It is such an underrated game, and although it may be hard to come by now, I highly recommend you play this game somehow if you can.

#2: Lego Indiana Jones

Lego Indiana Jones is the first Lego game I ever played, and it still holds a special place in my heart. It was a double pack game with Kung Fu Panda for the Xbox 360 my father got for his birthday one year, and I played this game far too many times. It just shows how iconic a Lego game can be.

#3: Lego The Incredibles

The Incredibles in general is one of my fav franchises by far. As soon as I found out there was a Lego game for it, I knew I had to have it. There is just something about this game that tided us over while we waited and waited for the second film of the franchise. I just think this particular game is brilliant.

#4: Lego Harry Potter

Lego Harry Potter has got to be by far one of the best games of not only the Lego franchise, but also the Harry Potter franchise. It stays insanely true to the most important parts of the films, and is just a whole lot of fun. It also helps a lot that the levels in this game are pretty short, so you can pick up and play for as long as you want. I would also love to see Lego Fantastic Beasts be made someday.

#5: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

I absolutely loved playing Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It was just such light-hearted fun and had so much content. It follows all 9 of the films, and just adds its own charm to it. I think this should also be an example for other franchises. This game is easily one of my favourite games of the year.

'Catizens', the town to be in

 Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Simulation games are by far one of the most beloved genres of all, but none feel quite as satisfying to play as town management styled games. They make you feel like you have a level of power you may never actually feel in real life, and they're usually just a good time in general. Add cats and you've got yourself a brilliant game.

Catizens is a colony and survival game where you need to manage a town and make sure all the needs of your citizens have been met. You also have to fight off enemies, train the workers and send out your army to protect the town. Straight off the bat, I love the play on words that names your cat citizens catizens, and this game was surprisingly mature.

The art style of Catizens is simply adorable. This pairs weirdly well with the contrasting seriousness of having to make them go and fight to protect your town. I also really love the subtle soundtrack which adds a nice level of ambience to the experience of the game. The amount of own customisation options also makes this game a must have for all those people craving a new experience like this.

Although it may not be an insanely difficult game, I highly recommend it to lovers of the survival and management genres. This game is the perfect combination of adorable and challenging and I just couldn't put it down. It is such an exciting game, and I will definitely be playing it again in the future.

'CobbleCritters', The Card Game you NEED in your Life

 Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

As long as I can remember, the card game market has not been exactly booming with anything new and refreshing. While I do adore the card games I do play, I just find myself craving something new. Well, sometimes that something new can appear when you most need it and least expect it on your social media feed. And this time, it was CobbleCritters.

CobbleCritters is creature-brawling card game that is reminiscent of other games of the same genre, but this one is so refreshing and feels like a whole new take. The players are called critter tamera which is honestly far too cute and warmed my cold heart. The aim is to build a deck to brawl other critter tamers and every critter you defeat gets you crystals and progresses you closer to sweet victory.

The critter designs in this game are a huge standout. I absolutely love every single one I have seen. I love all of th mechanics of this game, and found it really fun to learn and try. It's on Tabletop Simulator and Screentop.gg so everyone can enjoy it before it's even out. Vanillarilla is also my personal favourite critter and I won't be taking any further questions about that.

The game is not technically fully released yet. It has actually just launched on Kickstarter and will be up for a month as of yesterday. There are a lot of really amazing perks that come in the different tiers on Kickstarter, including naturally some amazing physical goodies that I can't way to donate for as soon as I can. Make sure to check out the Kickstarter below. I love Cobblecritters already so much, and I know so many of you guys will too.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cobblecritters/cobblecritters?ref=project_build

All in all, I think it would be in a lot of our best interests to support this passion project. The team behind it seems insanely nice and they have clearly worked so hard on it. You can really tell they put their hearts and soul into this one. I am so excited for it to release because as soon as I saw it I knew it would be a success. I highly recommend it for lovers of card games who are looking for something fresh and new.

My Favourite Way to Play 'Minecraft'

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Minecraft is one of the most beloved games of all time. It has also got to be one of the most creative games for sure. Whether you're mining, fighting, or building, it is such a versatile game to play. Everyone plays the game differently, but here is how I play.

The mining itself in Minecraft is by far the most relaxing part for me. I just love the feeling for making a nice little strip mine, or even looking for amethyst because it's by far my favourite block. There's also a huge appeal to going to the nether and finding some pretty, yet rare blocks. I highly recommend any of these because they can all be a blast.

Building, whether it's in creative or survival, is also a really fun part of Minecraft. Whether you're going for an aesthetically pleasing build, or you want to make something big abs useful, I just feel like you can't go wrong with a long day of building. It's also just genuinely a fun time challenging yourself and making new and more exciting builds.

I also really love achievement hunting in Minecraft. The feeling of completing as many achievements as possible is just so satisfying. The completionist in me craves challenge, and this always pushes me out of my comfort zone. I've never been able to do them all, but it's always such a blast.

'We Are OFK' (Episode 1+2), Nothing Short of Brilliant

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Virtual artists and groups have become such a popular artform, especially in the past few years. They allow us to experience the things we love without the hustle and bustle of trying to get tickets to the event or get their attention. While it isn't necessarily a new concept, it's definitely taken over the music scene in the past few years, and now, it's even taking the video game world by storm.

We Are OFK is essentially a mix between a biopic and a visual novel to premiere and celebrate the EP release of a virtual Los Angeles band, OFK'. It is also the bands coming-of-age story, and is extremely relatable to a fellow queer person like me since all four members of OFK are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Their story is episodic and will be released as follows:

- August 18th, Episode 1 + 2

- August 25th, Episode 3

- September 1st, Episode 4

- September 8th, Episode 5 

Visually, We Are OFK is absolutely stunning. I love the soft artwork as it's such a contrast to some of the themes explored in it. The music so far is also absolutely incredible. Before I even knew their story, OFK was already such a pleasure to oistent to, but experiencing this just made me adore them more. I'd even still class it as a cozy game for sure which is always a win in my books.

The story feels not only insightful but also extremely accurate so far. I know from experience that the music industry can be extremely cutthroat, and I imagine it's even worse in places like Los Angeles. I also love how much I can really connect with each character. With the first two episodes being a little less than an hour, and the remaining three being just a little bit over an hour long, we get to spend around 5 hours getting to connect even more. Not only am I excited to experience each episode, but I have literally planned time in the next 3 weeks to watch them on release day in comfort. And just for the record, I love all four members of OFK with my whole being, but my favourite so far has to be Luca.

I highly recommend We Are OFK for people who want a realistic look into the music industry, but also a considerably relaxing experience. I am honestly in love with it so far, and I am far to excited to both experience and write about the other 3 episodes. Also do not let it deter you that it took me two whole days to figure out what to say about this brilliant game. 

Have you or will you be playing We Are OFK? Comment down below! Also a huge thank you to Team OFK for a copy of the game to review, I plan to get the physical version and the vinyl still but it absolutely made my week! Also stay tuned for 3 more posts as the episodes are released!

Have a nice day!

5 Best Multiplayer Games on the Nintendo Switch

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

The Nintendo Switch has quickly become the epitome of a console made for multiplayer games by this points. Whether they're online, local play or couch co-op, it just hits different. We have had some absolutely amazing Nintendo exclusives on the console, and here are just five that I believe are the best multiplayer games.

#1: Super Mario 3D World/ Boswer's Fury

This game may have been huge when it came out, but Super Mario 3D World/ Bowser's Fury feels almost like a hidden gem in the Switch's catalogue now. The 3D World series has been amazing in general for a long time, but the addition of Bowser's Fury took the game from a good game, to an amazing one. This game is hours of fun.

#2: Mario Party Superstars

Mario Party Superstars is the type of game that I can never get enough of. Not to be confused with Super Mario Party, it is just hours of fast paced fun and a little bit of stress. This game has some of the best minigames, and I think buying it is such a no-brainer.

#3: Super Smash Bros Ultimate

The Super Smash Bros series is one of the most beloved franchises Nintendo has. This particular entry has so many amazing characters to choose from. I feel like this game only feels right playing it with friends. You won't regret it.

#4: Yoshi's Crafted World

I've talked about it before, but Yoshi's Crafted World is just such a light-hearted and adorable game that doesn't get enough credit. It is best played multiplayer, and I just think everyone should try it out. I have an absolute blast every time I play it.

#5: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been amazing since release, but it just keeps getting better. With the booster courses being released, it just feels like a whole new game. While Mario Kart 9 would be amazing, I feel like this is even better than a whole new game. This is a must have for Switch owners.

5 Games I Would love to Have a Sequel

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Sequels can be a hit or miss for the most part. There have been so many iconic sequels that have done even better than their predecessors, but there are some that have fallen flat and basically ruined their franchise. But then again, sometimes we just want a sequel so we can continue enjoy our favourite franchises. Here are five games I would love to have sequels.

#1: Conker's Bad Fur Day

Conker's Bad Fur Day was a brilliant game for it's time, and I know I'm not alone on this one. If we could have a true sequel to this game, it could easily make something beautiful out of the original game. There's just something about the charm mixed with the humour of this game that feels perfect, and definitely ahead of its time.

#2: Voodoo Vince

Voodoo Vince is one of the most criminally underrated games of all time. The general premise, the gameplay, the sick sense of humour and the design of literally everything was honestly near perfection. But at the end of the day, it feels like this little guys story is far from over, it just seems like a missed opportunity if we really don't see this guy in a game again.

#3: Pokemon Let's Go

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are two of the best Pokemon games we've had in a long time. They were not only perfect for people who are new to the series, but they made everything feel so fresh. Let's Go Johto games would be welcome with open arms by this point, and I hope it's a reality someday.

#4: Brute Force

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person in the world who played Brute Force. This game was an Xbox exclusive and also one of the first shooters I ever played. It was so much fun, and didn't receive anywhere near as much love as it deserved at the time of release, and especially now. I just feel like it could be so much more.

#5: Catherine Full Body

Catherine Full Body was such a brilliant enhancement to an already incredible game, but I feel like this universe has such an untapped potential. They could have new characters with new stories, new gameplay elements, there are so many things they could still do. I just hope that someday a sequel to this is more than just a thought, but a reality.

5 Future Games I Can't Wait to Play

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

In upcoming years, some of the most exciting games will be making their long awaited releases. By this point in fact, I'm pretty sure most gamers are bound to be happy with at least one upcoming title. Me on the other hand, I'm excited about far too many, but here are just five.

#1: Minecraft Legends

When Minecraft Legends was announced, I insanely started looking forward to it. I was, and still am in a huge Minecraft loving phase, and another spin off to the franchise just seems right. Everything about this game just seems like a fun time to far, and I can't wait to play it day one.

#2: Fable

It has been a hot second since we last had a knew Fable game, but in the upcoming years it's finally time. Fable is such an important part of my childhood. I have loved every main series game, and I can't wait to return to Albion and hopefully feel like I did when I first played a game in the series. Little is known about this game, but the excitement alone keeps me going every day.

#3: Hogwarts Legacy

Like many, Harry Potter is a huge part of my childhood, and I can't wait to get my hands on Hogwarts Legacy. This game is everything we have wanted for as long as I can remember. It looks like it is going to be so much fun, and I hope this six months passes by fast so we can finally play it.

#4: Perfect Dark

Rare games are such an important part of my childhood too. They have given some of my all time favourite games like Banjo Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day. I was late to the party and didn't play Perfect Dark and Perfect Dark Zero until it was on Rare Replay, but I am so hecking excited for the new game. It was also announced a hot second ago, but I think the release is imminent.

#5: The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria

This game looks absolutely brilliant. Despite how dark and chaotic it is, one of my favourite places in middle earth has to be Moria. Even better, this game is co-op, and I can't wait to play it with my friends. That initial trailer looked so amazing as it is, but I just know they're going to deliver even more.

What upcoming games are you looking forward to the most? Comment down below!

5 Nintendo Switch Games that Probably Flew Under your Radar

 Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

The Nintendo Switch has been out for almost five and a half years at this point and has over 4,400 games currently to choose from, so it would make sense if you were to not notice or miss out on a lot of amazing titles. In fact, some of my favourite games I know for a fact have not been played by some of my closest friends. Well, today I am here to help you a little bit. Here are 5 Nintendo Switch Games that probably flew under your radar.

#1: Yoshi's Crafted World

I could probably do a whole post about how amazing this game is, but I have chosen it so start this list as it is basically the reason I am writing this post. Yoshi's Crafted World may be one of the most fun games on the Nintendo Switch that you probably haven't played, and you probably can't even remember existing. This game has such a fun art style, and especially in multiplayer is just so many hours of fun with just enough difficulty to keep it feeling fresh. This game is rarely on special, but I often see it on sites like eBay for criminally low prices, and I think it's a must have for cozy gamers that want to go on a cute little adventure.

#2: Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Megamix

Whether it is considered underrated or just really niche, Project Diva Megamix is an excellent example of a rhythm game done right. This game has some of the most iconic vocaloid songs of all time, some of the most beloved vocaloids, and of course some of the most adorable vocaloid customizations. This game is so pricey so it may be considered a big commitment, but if you're like me you can look it up in advance and fall in love with it like I did.

#3: Macbat 64

Macbat 64 may be one of the most criminally underrated indie games on the Nintendo Switch. It not only has so many nostalgic different genres mixed into it, but it is also purely adorable. When I first saw this game on the eShop, I knew I had to have it. There is just something about the pure joy it instantly brought me that I knew I needed in my life. This game is so charming, and even though it's not mega long, it's still such a fun adventure, and I have played it at least a dozen time already. I can't recommend it enough, especially when it's also a huge bargain.

#4: Panty Party

I know what you're thinking. Yes, I am gay. Yes, I am talking about a game titled Panty Party. Yes, I love this game. Panty Party is so much more than most people expect. It is a third person shooter with a lot of visual novel parts to it, and I just think it's a lot of fun. Although many people may judge this game based on its name or its cover, it is truly underwear-rated and genuinely a good time throughout its entirety.

#5: Danganronpa Decadence

The Danganronpa Decadence collection almost felt like a given for the Nintendo Switch, but even when it was released, I really don't think it got the love it deserves. The Danganronpa franchise has such a cult following, and there is a lot of interesting stuff that happens in it, but everyone is united by the pure love of this franchise. Even though it may not seem like everyone's cup of tea, I feel like everyone should at least watch some gameplay of these games and decide for themselves. They are truly a treat, but not a lot of people noticed that when they were released on the Nintendo Switch,

Why I Think A New Banjo Kazooie Game is a No-Brainer

 Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

If you have known me or read my content for a long time, you probably already know that my favourite game of all time is Banjo Kazooie. There's just something about that game, and about that franchise in general that instantly can make me happy. Although I adore playing all of the currently released main series games (yes, even THAT one), the handful of spinoffs and even the amazing rom hacks, there is always that itch that needs to be scratched. I am constantly wishing for a new Banjo Kazooie game or even a remaster, and I know I'm not the only one. By this point it's a no-brainer, and here is why...

Banjo Kazooie is, by far, one of the most beloved platformers of all time. Ever since its release in 1998, it has just become more and more popular with so many loving the game, whether recent or since day one. There is just something about the bear and bird duo that just brings so much happiness and positivity to so many of our lives, and I know for a fact there is no way both Microsoft and Nintendo can't see this. This has been especially shown with the huge reactions from the fans whenever there has been any type of new collab or announcement regarding the franchise.

There have been a couple of Banjo Kazooie in-game collabs in recent years. One of the biggest ones by far, even though it was quite subtle, was the bear and bird cosmetics in Sea of Thieves. These cosmetics are absolutely stunning. I recently played Sea of Thieves for the first time, which meant I could finally use my bear and bird cosmetics on my ship that I had already owned for years. Although the price for these cosmetics may have seemed like a lot at the time, the second I saw them in-game they were 100% worth it. I know for sure I am not the only one falling in love with this set.

The other really big collaboration Banjo Kazooie has been a part of is one of the biggest franchises of all time, Super Smash Bros. When Banjo & Kazooie were announced for this game, the reaction was honestly iconic. People that had loved the games their whole lives cried (including me), people who were avid Smash players instantly changed their mains (including me), and some people got to just embrace the hype that Banjo Kazooie brings with it. Their character did not disappoint either. They brought some of the most iconic moves, spirits and music of all time in the Smash franchise. Plus their stage gave us another glimmer of hope for the future of the franchise.

The day that it was announced that Banjo Kazooie was coming to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion, is the day that I happy cried for the first time in a very long time. Not only did we find out we were going to get to play it in a new place, but it was like the announce of a homecoming. Banjo Kazooie had been off of Nintendo consoles for so many years, and just years earlier we heard about Smash, but this was just the cherry on top of it all. I still remember the flood of emotions I felt this day, and it still just shows that there is still space for a new game from the franchise on not only a Microsoft console, but even on a rival console like the Nintendo Switch.

By far one of the most weirdly iconic Banjo Kazooie collabs has got to be their most recent one, G Fuel. I feel like G Fuel makes products for only the most popular and trendy games, and they definitely made the right choice with this one. I am so excited for their Honey Berry flavour to ship next month, and it's just the cherry on top that it comes with a limited edition YouTooz figurine, which is yet another collab we have seen recently. I am mega excited for this, and I hope the right people can see how excited we are and give us what we crave.

Do you think it's time for a new Banjo Kazooie game? Or has this nostalgia train quietly now left the station? Personally, I think now, or even in a couple of years is the perfect time to release a new game. I feel like there has been so much love for the franchise, and more now than ever, that it is time for sure. But only time can tell. And I must say, I have a few little projects that I am starting soon in relation to the bear and bird, so stay tuned. :)

Have a nice day!
