Star Wars: Hunters (Switch) Review
A long time ago, in a Nintendo Direct far far away, Star Wars: Hunters was announced. Initially shown off in 2021 and slated for a 2022 release window, Star Wars: Hunters was one of those games that fans scratched their heads about…
Doctor Who “Empire of Death” – Review
Warning: The following article will touch upon spoilers from throughout series 14 of Doctor Who, though spoilers for “Empire of Death” will be limited. It would be reductive to say that “Empire of Death” was another standard Russell finale, but all the…
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Switch) Review

Pacific Drive (PC) Review
Genre-blending has been the secret sauce for tons of developers in the 2020s so far. It’s great to see such creativity bring about games that could have never existed before, especially after the 2010s brought about a certain monotony in its best-selling…
ROBOBEAT (PC) Review
Two of my favorite gaming genres are rhythm and first-person shooters. A few titles have taken on this blending of genres, in the cases of Metal: Hellsinger and BPM: Bullets Per Minute, both to great acclaim. The central mechanic of doing more damage if…
