About The Verdant Veil

The Verdant Veil is a review site for any game I can conjure up memories about. I associate many of my favorite memories closely with the games I was playing at any given point in my life. Oftentimes, people are a core part of those memories, and I hope to capture what I like or dislike about a game by traveling down memory lane.

Who?

Hi, I'm Houston. I've loved video games for as long as I can remember, and I plan to keep playing new games I find interesting and revisiting old games I love. I've realized in recent years that my brain is running out of space for some of those older memories, and I want to try to capture them before I lose them.

What to Expect

Casual tales of epic journeys, dull landscapes, or somewhere in between. As long as there's a memory, there's a game to be reviewed.

My Kind of Games

I'm typically looking for some sort of journey that has an incredible story attached to it or something that has really fun mechanics, if not both. I'm rarely looking for a shooter, but sometimes the mood hits. I like a good strategy game from time to time, and I enjoy the occasional superhero flying through the city type. I'm pretty likely to pick up a soulsborne, and I can really get into a good metroidvania. Nintendo will probably always be up to something that I'm interested in for one reason or another, and I really go for some cozy games like Minecraft and Stardew Valley.
