The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 1: Part 2 – 399 Days 21 Hours 59 Minutes and 43 Seconds to go…
Returning to the game, I found the Shade curled up on the floor asleep; he woke up and mumbled about dreaming of an endless hall with white pillars which sounds both frightening and incredible. I wandered around in the depths for a while until I came to another dead end. I could see that there…

The Longing-ist Playthrough: Day 1: Part 1 – 01/01/2022 – 400 Days to go…
(Alright, before you start – Day 1 turned into a pretty long session of exploration and therefore a bit of a mammoth write-up! 😅 I’m hoping to limit my playtime going forward to keep things more manageable.) Okay, so here we go! Firing up the game you get straight into it – the Mountain King…

The Longing-ist Playthrough 2022
I’ve always been a fan of weird and wonderful gaming experiences, and when I stumbled upon The Longing whilst writing up an article last year, my interest was thoroughly piqued.

G-Darius HD
I was always a child of the arcade era. I was one of those kids who would be enthralled by the flashing lights inside those chunky cabinets, plastered with over-the-top artwork and blasting high octane music and sound-effects at the player from less than a metre away.

Corpse Killer: 25th Anniversary Edition
Long before games like The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima were winning BAFTA awards for the quality of their visuals, acting, and sound quality, videogames were not nearly as highly regarded as forms of entertainment.

Narita Boy
I am very much a child of the 80s. A time when hair styles were wild, politics were bleak, and when the world started to become absolutely enamoured with computers.
