Video Game News. Reviews, and Commentary
Welcome to the 2024 return of Lazy Sunday Morning Links. This was a series I ran years ago for all the things I enjoyed over the week. It used to be a hodge-podge of randomness, but for 2024, I will focus on video game content for this series.
Let’s get to the links.
Continue reading “Lazy Sunday Morning Links: January 7th 2024”The January Xbox Game Pass Update was revealed this morning, and the games coming this month increase the value of the subscription even more. The addition of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Resident Evil 2, two significant AAA titles, makes this month one of the best in a while.
I am learning not to get ahead of myself with excitement and anticipation for upcoming video games. Delays are a part of the process. I will never fault a studio or publisher for waiting to release a game.

My gaming experience in 2023 was a wild ride that I did not expect. I started the year excited about Fire Emblem Engage but dropped it halfway through when the kid wasn’t a fan of tactical combat.

I returned to making Let’s Play videos this week. Thank you to the developer and Keymailer for providing a code for Costa Verde Transport Department. I hope you enjoy me fumbling through a few rounds of the game, which I enjoyed quite a bit. The puzzle aspect is right up my alley. And please subscribe over on YouTube if you haven’t done so yet.
A new city is emerging on the vibrant shores of Costa Verde, but the citizens need help: someone must build the roads for them! Luckily, they have you: the head of the city’s Transport Department. The growing city expands in all directions. People drive from home to work and back, industrial trucks transport resources between manufacturers, and you have to plan the road network for the city carefully!
The main gameplay consists of planning & building a road network for the growing city. You have to carefully plan the roads to balance the city traffic and obtain valuable resources that help you progress. Sooner or later, your roads won’t be enough: you’ll have to build detours, roundabouts, bridges, and use some magic!
