Until Dawn (PC) – Review

There is a part of me that is snobbish about my horror. Those that have read my weekly TV/film reviews know, I’m not a fan of the clanging saucepan soundtracks and jumpscare-a-thons on AMC, or that weird UK channel that changed names…

Windblown Early Access (PC) Review

Rogue-likes are not a new genre, but it’s not every day you see a developer create two successful IPs in the genre back-to-back. In fact, the more popular ones, such as Binding of Isaac, get quality-of-life and content updates for years and…

Hotel Renovator (PC) – Review

When Two Horizons and Focus Entertainment’s Hotel Renovator was released, I was excited by it but quickly put off. The renovator genre such as your House Flippers and its ilk all have certain amenities that make the more boring parts a bit…

Fruitbus (PC) Review

There’s nothing like a nice cozy/wholesome game to play to unwind after a long day, and there’s no shortage of them in today’s gaming landscape. With entire Wholesome Directs chock full of low-stress, relaxing titles to look forward to, Fruitbus was on my radar…

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered (PC) – Review

There are just some games you don’t pass up on reviewing, especially when that game is a PS3/360-era action game written by Suda51, produced by Shinji Mikami, and Akira Yamaoka throws a couple of instruments across the room. Suda51 most notably helmed…

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II (PC) Review

The fight for the Emperor has made its triumphant return with the arrival of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II. Many of my friends and I got excited when Space Marine II was first announced, so it is quite something to finally have…

Albatroz (PC) – Review

Paced like an artsy-fartsy emotional piece about teenagers who want to touch each other, Albatroz is odd. You play as Isla, a young American woman who has gotten bored on the 9-5, and instead of doing the sane thing (like getting a…

Diplomacy is Not an Option (PC) – Review

Given the number of times I said “Epic” when reviewing God of War Ragnarök, my love towards Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (the good one), and my general liking towards Battlefield 2042, I like things with large scale. Cue to an obvious joke…

Wilmot Works it Out (PC) Review

When I was young, my mother tried to share her love of jigsaw puzzles with me. I didn’t quite get it as a hyperactive kid, the idea of sitting still, sorting out the corner pieces, and then figuring out the picture as…

Metaphor: ReFantazio (PC) Review

It is rare that I review a game from a new IP and find myself thoroughly impressed. This is specifically the case when a game is made by developers I already like. Crafted by the teams behind the Shin Megami Tensei and…
