Why Indie Games Are Amazing (Invest In Indies Finale)

 this theme for the past month has been so much fun, whether it was playing something new, in my backlog, or revisiting a favorite, this past month reminded me why I love indie games. So much so that I am sure some of them will be appearing as bonus content throughout July, some I am even working on now. But for now I wanted to talk about why indie games are some of my favorites.

Indies games have such an endless well of exciting opportunities when you think about it. They can cover a genre or make an homage to a series that doesn't see as many titles as it used to. Indie games also go on sale often so these titles can prove a little easier on the wallet. From 2D retro style platformers to puzzle games to VR indie games cover so many genres so there is something for everyone. I will cover more as I go despite the theme of the month because I love them that much, I love talking to people about them. Whether it lasts 3 hours or 30, I love these small studios are bringing such great experiences to our consoles and PCS, games with great stories, music, gameplay, and so much heart put into them that they stand alongside triple A games we know and love. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey, and for your support as I continue it, covering indie games whether in blog or podcast form. But now on to the new theme of this month, all the licensed games, good, and bad, old, and new. There is a ton of ground to cover so let's get started.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (Netflix)

 There are so many holiday films to watch, whether they be classics, or newer attempts to capture the joy of the season, whether in theaters, made for television, or for streaming nowadays. And with all these holiday films there are countless adaptations of the classic tale of "A Christmas Carol". Musicals, animations, live-action, and almost everything in between. Using popular characters in the roles, such as the Looney Tunes or the Muppets, from popular actors provides different take on the tale in different settings. When I first saw this version of the classic story, it was because it was all over TikTok at this time last year. For one song in particular, one very powerful song. So I decided to settle in and watch this new, animated, musical take on the classic story all the way through and see what the entire package holds for this version.  This version as mentioned is an animated musical telling of the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, the tightfisted miser, spreading

The Pokemon Concierge

 When this show was first announced, I was indifferent. And then it came out and I watched the four episodes they had at the time of this post in one sitting and fell in love with it. The hype around this show is very real, I was blown away by how much I loved this show. Only four episodes and I want more, so why do I love this show so much? Well, that's what this blog post is for. The narrative of this show is fun for all ages but definitely has relatable content for adults while also having fun lessons for all ages. I am not going into detail because I think even a synopsis of this show spoils too much and it is so wonderful. The morals are real and down to earth, the characters are likable and the conflicts are relatable. The writing is fun, wholesome, and very well down, and has a good mix of humor and heartwarming with some great ideas. When I went in I thought I would have a fun time, and I did but I had way more fun than expected.  The lead of this show will be relatable for

Tell Your Own Story, Do Your Own Thing: One Thing I Learned From Across The Spiderverse

 This will probably not be the last time I talk about the impact of this film, I keep learning from this incredible film. The visuals, humor, story, characters, and messages of the film are just so close to perfect for me. Let's hang on to that last word, messages. Some may feel that an animated film could never contain deeper meanings or ideas. Still, if they looked outside their opinion, they would see animation as what it truly is, a necessary part of cinema. Animation can go places and bring ideas live action never could, and vice versa, they are both important. When this movie was first released, I saw it on opening day, and I was that excited. I love and adore the first film and the sequel just as much, it did not disappoint. I wanted to revisit the second film, since we have had more time with the first movie, and dive into some of the story beats, so spoilers are ahead just as a fair warning.  Across The Spiderverse takes our hero Miles Morales a year and some change ahead
