Overcooked 2 (Switch) Review

The Onion King has been fiddling around with magic that must not be touched. The bread has risen… the Unbread! Horrible undead pieces of moldy bread are haunting the kingdom… at least, that’s what he says. It’s largely an informed problem that…

Life is Strange 2 (PC) Review

In 2015, I picked up Life is Strange on a whim. I was a humongous Telltale fan, and was fascinated by the trailer’s artistic approach and unique presence. All it took was one episode for me to fall in love. The emphasis on…

Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard (PC) Review

It is rare that a Point-and-Click game surprises me. In fact, I’ve played a fair few this year, and most of them haven’t been anything out of the ordinary. However, Grace Bruxner’s sequel to The Haunted Island: A Frog Detective Game was,…

Big Pharma (Switch) Review

I am a big advocate of bringing as many things to as many different platforms as possible. Since the release of the Switch, that has become even more true for me. I love the versatility of the Nintendo Switch, as well as…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (PC) Review

We are truly in the end times when EA has published a fantastic Star Wars video game. After the two disappointing Battlefront games, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an outstanding experience that captures the magic of previous in-universe titles like Knights…
