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…

The Expanse: A Telltale Series Episode IV (PS5) Review

The Expanse: A Telltale Series hit a narrative snag in Episode III. Its pace slowed to a crawl whilst only being less than an hour in length. Telltale’s big comeback has been mostly positive, but The Expanse desperately needs to stick its landing to…

Eternights (PC) Review

Editor’s Note: The following review (and game) references things that are meant for adult audiences only. Reader discretion is advised. With a woman in a short skirt and white shirt, a tentacle for a right arm, and talk of dating apps and…

The Expanse: A Telltale Series Episode III (PS5) Review

After a three-week hiatus, I finally found the time to work on the third and fourth chapters of The Expanse: A Telltale Series. I was thrilled with how the first couple of episodes played out and was hopeful for more space station exploration…

SNW “A Quality of Mercy” – Review

Regrettably, I can’t say the word, but I think he certainly is a word that rhymes with punt. That’s enough about Captain Snogs-A-Lot, we’ve got Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers’ season finale in “The Quality of Mercy.” This episode was directed…

SNW “All Those Who Wander” – Review

Don’t come clanging down the street with saucepans for feet when it comes to your sci-fi horror, or quite frankly horror in general. A solid suspenseful horror will always outshine the jumpscare-athons that plagued us throughout the 2000s. This is the only…

20 Minutes Till Dawn (PC) Review

The surge of games like Vampire Survivors is continuing on, as a lot of these titles entered Early Access shortly after that game took gamers by storm. It’s refreshing to see these titles keep getting free updates at their already-low price point and is…
