The Sinking City (Xbox) Review

Another Lovecraftian action adventure game? Well, luckily for us, The Sinking City gets a lot of things right, including the balance of gameplay and lore. The Sinking City pulls its inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Over Innsmouth. In this story, the narrator…

Formula 1 2019 (XBO) Review

In terms of cars, the staple points I can say that I know something about are Top Gear/The Grand Tour and Formula 1. I think, like most with the mind of a twelve-year-old or of Jeremy Clarkson’s mindset, there is something about…

Skyrim (Switch) Review

On the massive eShop sale that coincided with E3, I picked up a few games. One of which was Skyrim, the living meme of what was once an incredibly impressive Xbox 360/PS3 era title. It’s been ported so many times now, that people…

Swag and Sorcery (PC) Review

Devolver Digital has been a huge force in indie games, publishing a whole bunch of hits like Dennaton’s Hotline Miami and Dodge Roll’s Enter the Gungeon. You may ask yourself: can I play a cheaper version of those games? Well, regardless of…

This War of Mine (PC) Review

Imagine, if you will, that EA unveiled a new entry in its venerable Sims franchise; wherein players are tasked not just with keeping their Sims happy and healthy, but also with keeping them alive in a much darker setting than the norm…

Dragon Star Varnir (PS4) Review

Idea Factory is known for RPG’s as well as a few other niche genres like dating sims. However, I am always amused by the new directions that some Idea Factory RPGs go into. Dragon Star Varnir is a good example, considering it…

Life Goes On: Done to Death (PC) Review

I’ve always considered myself to have something of an interesting relationship with virtually every puzzle game I’ve played in the past. While I’ve most assuredly enjoyed such critically-acclaimed puzzle titles as Valve’s venerable Portal franchise, my levels of enjoyment were typically tempered…

Void Bastards Review

Some of the team members behind Bioshock bring us a new rouge-like title with great art and gameplay. Meet Void Bastards. There’s a ton to do in this game. Void Bastards takes place in space as you explore countless space stations for goods…
