The Book of Aaru (PC) Review

I love Egyptian mythology. One of my favorite things as a kid was going to the Egyptology exhibit at our local museum, then coming home and reading tales of the various myths from books I checked out at the library. The Book…

Hell Clock (PC) Review

One of the most interesting trailers (and announcements) I saw during Summer Game Fest this year was for a game called Hell Clock. Based on a real-world event, The War of Canudos in Brazil in 1896, Hell Clock reframes a real historical…

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars (PC) Review

It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for most 4X turn-based strategy games. When I had a cursory look at the Steam Store page for Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, I thought it might be kind of like a more advanced Sid Meier’s…

Mycopunk (PC) Early Access Review

Boomer shooters. Extraction shooters. Looter shooters. All concepts that have made for fun FPS games, but what if all of the above was the case? Enter Mycopunk, the first game from Pigeons at Play and with the backing of the acclaimed Devolver Digital…

Insurgency: Sandstorm (PC) Review

I need to provide a disclaimer up front. I’m going to make quite a lot of comparisons to Team Fortress 2 during the following discussion of Insurgency: Sandstorm. I don’t exactly go out of my way to find new competitive, team-based first-person…

Tamagotchi Plaza (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

While I was a huge fan of the Digimon franchise as a kid, I didn’t have a huge interest in what the IP originally spun off of: Tamagotchi. I was definitely in the minority, seeing as over 40 million pocket devices with little digital…

Raidou Remastered (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

I am a big fan of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. However, those familiar with the franchise are aware that it is expansive, branching out into spinoffs and subseries such as Devil Survivor (a strategy subseries), Soul Hackers (a pseudo sci-fi subseries), and…

Re-Legion (PC) Review

Oh goody, time to review a game that couldn’t possibly offend anyone or be interpreted as any kind of commentary on the current geopolitical situation at the time of writing. Let’s see what we have here: Re-Legion is a cyberpunk RTS where…
