Star Vortex Early Access (PC) Review

When I first heard the idea of “Diablo 2 in space”, my attention was immediately caught. That’s how Star Vortex was pitched to me, and it’s how the game is advertised in the very first sentence on its Steam page. The action-RPG formula has…

Cash Cleaner Simulator (PC) – Review

I feel old, and not just because I remember when money wasn’t plastic or digital dogs. The aesthetic of Cash Cleaner Simulator is that of the youth with their hips and hops, spray paint, generative AI, and cryptocurrencies. You play as someone…

Doctor Who “Lux” – Review

Oh my, King James suddenly got a lot less gay and became a lot more colorful. Written by showrunner Russell T Davies, it certainly is something of his that I can tell he’s had bubbling for a while. As Australian writer and…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PC) Review

There are many kinds of beauty. Art has a way of bringing out all manner of emotions and reactions in us as a response to the beauty or various reactions we have. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is beyond beautiful, and Sandfall Interactive…

Doctor Who “The Robot Revolution” – Review

Star Overdrive (Switch) Review

When warmer weather comes to my area, the bulk of great games and movies seem to arrive on our screens. While looking through all of the upcoming releases, there was one title that stuck out to me above the rest. That title…

Split Fiction (PC) Review

One of my most anticipated games of 2025 has finally come out! In fact, it was one of two that I put on our collective list for 2025. Split Fiction is the anticipated follow-up from Hazelight Studios, the developers who brought us…

Shotgun Cop Man (PC) Review

Anytime Devolver Digital has a game they’re ready to release to the world, I tend to take a keen interest. Bringing about modern classics such as Cult of the Lamb, My Friend Pedro, and dozens more, their gritty, over-the-top publishing prospecting has given millions…
