Awakened by a world overrun by corrupted A.I, you must pilot your "Charming Mech" and find your lost pilot whilst trying to survive the tribulations of a testing and hostile world all the while. Functioning as an isometric, twin-stick shooter, Uragun provides plenty of fast-paced, intense mech action as well as offering some surprisingly beautiful...
The catastrophic original release of 'Cyberpunk 2077', back in the already dreadful year of 2020, is scarred in the minds of gamers. Leaving many of us with a sour taste in their mouth. We have all seen, or experienced, the janky glitch filled mess that was it's original state, and rehashing that here in detail would be redundant. Any of...
In 1998 "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" toppled the US box office, making more money than any film in the last six weeks of that year.

The Average Pilgrimage is an adventure through time. I aim to play 1 game from each year chronologically from 1983 up until the present day to broaden my horizons in regards to the gaming world. Whilst doing so, I will share my opinions and experiences until I reach the current year. At which point I will reset and start again...
