Biomutant (PS5) Review

It’s something of a rarity for a game to have a rough launch and eventually find its feet after an extended period of time. There are success stories behind No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077, and some others, but Biomutant deserves to be in the same…

Is The ESRB Too Lenient?

When one looks at a game cover, they’re generally looking for a synopsis of what the game is about or at the stylistic cover art to get a sense of what it’s about. Parents, on the other hand, are looking toward the…

Despot’s Game (PC) Review

Any chance I get to play a new rogue-like, I will take it. Just this summer, I’ve been lucky enough to review Chenso Club, Neon Blight, and The Serpent Rogue. This time around, I’m taking a look at Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder, a title…

Chenso Club (PS4) – Review

As I sit obsessed with Vampire Survivors and Rogue Legacy 2, about to start up Hades, I thought, why not add another Rogue-like to my plate? I can’t get enough of this style of game, as the replay value is through the roof and the creativity…

Vampire Survivors Leaves Early Access Soon

The only game that’s been on my mind and on my screens lately has been Vampire Survivors. With a gameplay loop that rewards you every single run, I had a similar experience feeling this natural progression when I sunk into Rogue Legacy back in…

Over the years, I’ve played some games that are full-on parodies of their genres, chock full of quirky dialogue and satire. These range from Deadpool, to The Bard’s Tale, to the unknown/underrated Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard. While some games make meta jokes,…

Tinykin (PC) – Review

With a huge gaming library, I’m bound to forget what I’ve played and haven’t played. So it is rare for me to have an unforgettable gaming experience. I do remember sobbing to Before Your Eyes last year, and grinding Sniper Elite 5 this year,…

Scathe (PC) – Review

I’ve covered more than a few FPS releases here over the years, with titles like Severed Steel, Chernobylite, and Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem getting my adrenaline pumping and my reflexes set to fly on a twitch. So when I saw Scathe coming with a…

Soulstice (PC) – Preview

With the recent boom in Souls-like games, I had a good feeling that Soulstice would follow suit. It’s not just in the name, its first screenshots showed a bleak, drab setting. Color me surprised when I got my hands on it and found that…

Better Call Saul – Review

Breaking Bad is widely-considered one of the best television shows of all time. So when a prequel was announced, more than a few people were skeptical. Riding the hype of the former show, Better Call Saul‘s debut episode landed 6.88 million viewers in…
