  Is Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout dying or a dying video game? First for those who don't know Fall Guys launched last month to knockout sales and immense popularity. Big YouTube personalities such as PewdiePie, Mr Beast, and DrDisrespect went on to popularize the game by doing game play streams and videos on it. This cute, colorful, multiplayer game went on to quickly sell over 7 million copies on Steam and became the most downloaded game on the PlayStation Plus store. With these kind of sales numbers it is hard to see the game loosing steam or popularity any time soon.  For those who are new to the game it is a platformer game where you take control of a cute little jelly bean looking guy and try to avoid the obstacles in your way and make it to the end of the level. There are multiple rounds with a battle royal theme of knocking out players at each round until only one player remains. It sounds like a simple concept but it is incredibly fun to play.  But what do the num...

Last month a new game was released by Devolver Digital called Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. A colorful little multiplayer party game with mini-games where you are a Fall Guy competing in little games with others that involve moving on platforms and avoiding obstacles. Fall Guys has broken many records and has become incredibly popular thou. It has sold 7 million copies on Steam and is now the most downloaded game on PlayStation Plus. It is incredible how a small indie game has been able to achieve such numbers and such fame. Twitch has also been a platform where the game has rose in popularity and spiraled the game into stardom. Twitch streamers have been streaming the game nonstop with average viewer counts in the hundreds of thousand at any given time.  Which brings me to the fact that many people have been saying that Fall Guys is a fad game and will fall away in a month. Well a month later and the game is still going strong with 150,000 average player count on Steam at any give...

Rimworld is a colony management game that has survival mechanics, management, and building. It was released in July 15, 2016 by Ludeon Studios. Rimworld is a game that i have 190+ hours in as of February 2020. The first 2 weeks after buying the game i could not stop playing. The game is that good that it completely takes over your thoughts and life. It was the first game i've bought where i was thinking about it throughout the day like how to make my colony better, how to make it more efficient, etc.  There are not many games that can do this to a person and having said this and in many ways Rimworld makes my list of the top game of the last decade. It's a fun, unique challenge that you cannot get anywhere else. It is only once in a decade that a game like this is released and that is one of the many reasons  why you should play it. If you are interested in colony management games this is one of the best. Here is the description from Steam: " A sci-fi colony sim...

What is a video game backlog? How do i get rid of my video game backlog? How do i tackle my Steam library backlog? These are all questions you might ask yourself if you have a list of games that you want to play but haven't gotten to or played due to a variety of reasons and they are now sitting there collecting dust physically or in your elibrary. It might be your booming Steam library or it could be a vast quantity of Xbox games that you have sitting on your shelf. Today most of us have our gaming libraries spread out across multiple gaming platform's and this makes it even more difficult to pick out a game to play and actually finish it. In fact actually finishing a game has in itself become a huge problem for me and it makes getting through my backlog even more difficult. However there are steps i've taken that have helped me get through a lot of my unplayed games and I would like to share these with you. What steps can you take to tackle that video game backlog ...
