All Will Fall – A Calm Start That Turns Into Hours of Survival Strategy

All Will Fall is one of those games that doesn’t look overwhelming at first. You start small. A few people. Limited supplies. A quiet setup. Then time disappears (at least for me).

What pulls you in isn’t just survival. It’s responsibility. Every decision you make affects whether your colony grows… or falls apart. And... with that said, let's play!



 Build First, Expand Later 

The game rewards patience. It’s easy to think more people means more progress. It doesn’t. More people means more mouths to feed, more pressure on your resources, and more problems if you’re not ready.

The better approach in my opinion:

  • Build your foundation

  • Secure your food supply

  • Fortify your structures

Then expand. If you rush it, you’ll feel it quickly... but take the route that works for you.


 Food Is Always the Real Problem 

You can manage a lot of things in this game. Food is the one that stays on your mind.

If you don’t have enough, everything slows down. Morale drops. Progress stalls. Mistakes start to stack up.

It’s better to have more food than you need than to be just getting by.

That buffer gives you options.


 Why It Keeps You Playing 

This is where the game gets you.

You’ll tell yourself:
“I’ll just fix this one thing.”

Then:
“I’ll just build one more structure.”

Then:
“I need to balance this before I log off.”

And just like that, hours are gone.

The systems are pretty simple to understand, but they connect in a way that keeps pulling you back in (hit pause to regroup as many times as you need). You’re always improving something, fixing something, or preparing for what might go wrong next.

All Will Fall doesn’t rely on chaos or constant action to hold your attention.

It builds tension through responsibility.

If you manage your resources well, take your time, and avoid overextending your colony, you’ll stay in control.

If you don’t?

The game reminds you quickly why planning matters.

Short version:
Take care of what you have before reaching for more.

That’s how you last.

Game on. 🎮

September Game Drops 2025: What’s Worth Your Time + What’s Worth Calling Out

September 2025 has signed off, but that doesn't mean it didn't leave behind games that are worth playing! These games range from long-anticipated sequels to bold indie experiments, and we wanted to make sure you didn't miss them. So here’s a curated look at the September 2025 releases.


 Epic Adventures + Storytelling 

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 4

The wait is finally over. Team Cherry’s long-anticipated sequel landed with a thunderclap, and it’s every bit the Metroidvania masterpiece fans hoped for. Hornet’s journey through Pharloom expands the formula with fluid combat, layered quests, and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

Silent Hill f

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 25

Konami’s boldest Silent Hill entry in years takes the series to 1960s Japan, blending psychological horror with folklore-inspired visuals. It’s unsettling, cerebral, and deeply atmospheric.


 Shooter Highlights + Multiplayer Mayhem 

Borderlands 4

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 11

The looter-shooter returns with a new vault-hunting crew and a fresh world, Kairos, under the thumb of The Timekeeper. Gearbox promised a more balanced tone, and it shows—humor is still there, but the story finally takes itself seriously. Sign me up for over the top humor.

NBA 2K26

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC, Switch – Released September 5

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headlines this year’s edition, and while the gameplay polish is undeniable, the monetization model continues to frustrate.


 Survival + Horror 

Dying Light: The Beast

Platforms: PS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 18

Techland takes the zombie apocalypse to rural farmland and swampy thickets. The open-world traversal remains a highlight, and the new “beast” mutations add fresh tension.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 30

Square Enix’s enhanced edition of the tactical classic closes out the month with a bang. Updated visuals, rebalanced mechanics, and Switch 2 optimization make this a strategy lover’s dream.

 Indie Darling + Quirky Surprises 

Bad Cheese

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 1

A bizarre platformer that’s equal parts gross-out humor and clever mechanics.

Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island

Platforms: SwitchPS5Xbox Series X/SPC – Released September 1

Cozy mythological adventure with Stardew Valley vibes.


 What’s Worth Your Time? 

If you're seeking a well-round gaming experience, these pics deliver across genres:

•  Hollow Knight: Silksong for rich artistry and precision platforming

•  Borderlands 4 for chaotic co-op action with loot-driven progression

•  Silent Hill f for a slow-burning psychological horror with a folklore twist

•  Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles for grid-based strategy with political intrigue

September 2025 came in with enough to deliver exploration, skin crawling survival, explosive co-op action, and metroidvania action locked in with great storytelling. This lineup covers all bases!
