No Man’s Sky – I Have Some Quality Of Life Questions And Comments

No Man's Sky came out in 2016 to somewhat mixed reviews and I enjoyed it then even if it didn't live up to all its promises. It didn't hold my attention for a particularly long time but I did go back to it once or twice before putting it down in favor of other titles.

The Surprise Goodness of Subnautica – A Review From Scroo

It's a beautiful place, romantic and mysterious. It piques our human curiosity and makes us wonder while also being a dark, hostile environment that would crush anything not meant for it's cold depths to dust without a moments hesitation. Subnautica is a story about an ocean. But also more. Stick with me and I'll tell you what I thought of my play through. Read more
