Borderlands 3, (Almost) One Year Later

Right now, I’m fondly recalling the massive amounts of hype for Borderlands 3 in 2019. With the previous mainline game having been released seven years prior, its return was desired by tons of gamers after exhausting the massive replayability of Borderlands 2.…

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (PC) Review

After swearing off Battle Royale games from several toxic hours with Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, I didn’t think I’d return to the volatile genre ever again. That was until I was so generously gifted Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout to play with my girlfriend and…

The Xbox Series X is making for quite the unique launch window, for more reasons than one. To start, with its confirmation of a November release, there still isn’t a set date or price. Now, with the confirmation of Halo: Infinite‘s delay into…

Relicta (PC) Review

Puzzle games are easily the most hit-or-miss in gaming. There are greats like Portal, The Talos Principle, and Obstruction, but also polarizing titles like Myst, Superliminal, and Bad Rats. It’s tough to create a game that’s a head-scratcher not thanks to its…
