SNW “Ad Astra Per Aspera” – Review

Lt Grissom, White, and Chaffee are the three men you’d probably never think of but unless you are from Kansas or know Latin. They are best associated with the loose translation of Ad Astra Per Aspera. For them, it is “A rough…

Starfield (PC) Review

I like space like that one kid liked turtles, so I think it is no surprise that I was excited to play Fallout 4: Space Edition, otherwise known as Starfield. This is Bethesda’s next big exploration into the world of being told “Obsidian…

Pikmin 1+2 (Switch) Review

I’ve been a fan of the Pikmin series since the original game came out on the Gamecube back in 2001. I have played every game released in the franchise since then, other than the latest game, Pikmin 4. As such, when it…

Boti: Byteland Overclocked (PC) Review

If I’m not looking for the next roguelite or bullet heaven to sink a ton of time into, I have a penchant for platformers of the 3D variety. Hearkening back to the most nostalgic genre for me, I just love collecting everything…

Lisa: Definitive Edition (Switch) Review

When you play games long enough (especially reviewing them) there are a few cult classic, highly acclaimed games that slip through the cracks. These are games that you’ve been told are good, games you’ve been recommended numerous times, but they’ve just never…

Heavy Duty Challenge: The Off-Road Truck Simulator (PC) Review

Heavy Duty Challenge: The Off-Road Truck Simulator didn’t give a good first impression, to put it lightly. The early press build that we’ve been privy to has had countless problems, from UI and UI controls to simple settings doing nothing. After 40…

Stray Gods (Switch) Review

I have always complained that Visual Novels are inherently inaccessible because they often lack accessibility for the visually impaired. However, what happens when a game surpasses those issues, telling a strong narrative with powerful music and fantastic acting? Well, you get Stray…

Goodbye Volcano High (PC) Review

As of 2023, I’ve been playing games with the “Telltale formula”. That started with The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series, and I grew to call Life is Strange one of my favorite games of all time in 2015. There’s something about the episodic formula,…

SNW “The Broken Circle” – Review

Carol Kane is like Kris Kringle, if you don’t love or believe in her, you are on the naughty list. This episode has the exact same creative team as “A Quality of Mercy,” though with a little help from Onitra Johnson from…

Soulstone Survivors (PC) Early Access Review

If I’m not covering a Roguelike or an FPS, you can bet I’ve been playing a Bullet Heaven recently. Ever since Vampire Survivors made the genre mainstream, the resurgence is undeniable and we’ve already covered several titles here at Phenixx Gaming. The one…
