APICO Review: Digital Beekeeping Has Never Been So Fun!

APICO is a sim game revolving around beekeeping by breeding, collecting, and conserving bees. Like many titles from this genre, you start fresh in a small town after leaving your city job. After creating your character, you’re in Port APICO, where your grandma is waiting for you to follow their steps in beekeeping.

The game was released in May 2022, and I believe it’s a beautiful experience to immerse yourself in if you’re into cozy gameplay.

Let’s look at a brief gameplay breakdown, potential drawbacks, and other cool features in APICO:

My Experience As A Ghostwriter

Experience as Ghostwriter Featured Image

I worked as a ghostwriter for SwitftWrite for 6 months on a freelance-based contract via Upwork.

All deliverables were published under the name of the client. I’m not allowed to share revealing information about their business due to the nature of this contract.

However, I feel like I can reflect on the workflow and methodology I had with this job alongside a brief analysis of my work.

Forager Review: HopFrog’s Addictive Passion Project

As always, the holiday seasons come with self-care gifts to finish off an awful year. This time I decided to reward myself with a video game I had decided to hold off from buying until I was confident that I could get a space in my schedule to try it.

So why not write my Forager review while I still got some free time?

My History with The Binding of Isaac

The Binding of Isaac has been a constant presence in my life since I was 15 years old. So this year, with the release of a third DLC coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the original title, I think it’s appropriate to talk about it.

With gruesome and morbid art style, unforgiving mechanics, and endless hours of fun, it has brought back the Rogue-like genre into the spotlight for critics and fans alike.

How I Trained My Dog To Sit, Lay Down, and More

A dog can be the best addition to any household, period. It’s crucial to train our dear pooches and set boundaries to keep everyone happy. That way you can ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone.

Lana is my lovely Poodle, and she is one year and seven months old. Since Lana arrived at my house as a puppy, she has shown her smart and defiant personality that prevails until today.

I did some training with her during the first couple of months since her arrival. But nowadays, I’ve been delving deep into Youtube tutorials, guides, and vlogs on the subject to refresh my knowledge.

Watercolour Tips for Beginners: What I Learned With Internet Research

We can all agree COVID-19 has changed everyone’s lives and daily routines. After six months, I decided to look into my to-do list again to make my lockdown more bearable. I always wanted to learn how to use watercolours since I was very young, but I never got the time or energy to do it. But now the time has finally arrived. I fully dived into the internet, searching for information to learn and improve as much as I could. Now I feel like sharing the best tips and guidelines to start learning about this beautiful art technique.

I Returned to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. How Are the Updates Holding Up?

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has won over our hearts since its launch in March 2020. But now with several updates on its back, has the experience improved or it has been more of the same old thing?

I got the game in April and had a hiatus of 2 months (July to August). This review intends to check on my impressions of the new additions up to version 1.5.1 of the game.

Graveyard Keeper Review: Dig Corpses, Get Money

Thanks to a lovely Christmas gift from my boyfriend I am currently the proud owner of a Nintendo Switch Lite. I want to highlight one of the major appeals it had for me since its launch: the variety of indie games available through the Nintendo eShop.

That’s where I would like to start getting my games for reviews.
