2024, Through Q1 2025: Moving Forward, Moving On

Our last post was at the end of 2023, and it was optimistic. We had a host of plans for the future, for the then-coming year of 2024, and we were excited to get started on all of them. So, what happened? As you may know if you've looked at our "About Us" page—have you explored our site yet? You should!—we're presently a "one-man wrecking crew". And, if you've been paying attention, you'd know...

2023 Into 2024: Where We Are, Where We've Been, Where We're Going

Hey there! It's certainly been a while. By my records, the last time I made a post here, I'd announced I came down with COVID—which turned out to not be true, but I never made any additional post stating such, confirming anything, or even so much as saying I was okay. Why was that statement incorrect, and why had I made it in the first place? Fact is, a coworker of mine DID come down with COVID;...

Update: I got COVID.

A bit of an unfortunate update on things at CORAX studios. If you've explored around on the website, you may have discovered that we're a "one-man wrecking crew". By merit of my living in rural New Mexico, I'd managed to avoid it, but this week I managed to catch COVID. While I am fully up-to-date on my vaccinations, I've still been taking it easy. Fact is, I have an underlying heart condition...

Indie Horror Problems and Solutions

(Disclaimer: I originally wrote this post a year ago, but never shared it here.) As a video game designer and producer myself, I sometimes have to take a step back and examine the state of the medium as a whole, ask questions of How, Who, and Why? And tonight I find myself focusing on a particular subset of the horror game genre, that of survival indie horror. And in particular, I find myself...

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

I feel like I need to defend myself from the outset on this one, and so at the very least, I'm including a disclaimer: I wanted to love this game. I genuinely did. I thoroughly enjoyed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , and this was to be its sequel....

Arcade Paradise

I very much wanted to get this review out there earlier, but with life catching up with me, it's been hard to find the time. Well, this afternoon I'm making the time. (Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass, like it does sometimes in this...

Metroid Dread

I’ve decided I really don’t like Metroid Dread for the same reason I really didn’t like Metroid: Samus Returns . Aspects of the game implemented to solve a prevalent problem make the game not fun. I am, of course, talking about the aiming problem, and the...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX

It's been a long time since I last played a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, in fact way back to the first pair. I owned Blue Rescue Team, and I remember enjoying it. The story was interesting, though I didn't get very far; the game came out during a rough time...

New Super Lucky's Tale

When I first saw this game originally on the XBox One, it actually almost made me want to get that console, just for the one game. It's an adorable-looking platformer from an independent studio — always a plus in my book — it looked like an amazing, fun...
