Finding Frankie (PS5) Review

Mascot Horror was all the rage in the mid-2010s, so I didn’t personally think the genre had much steam left in it as we hit 2025. Be that as it may, Finding Frankie launched on Steam in October of 2024 and received quite…

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remastered (PS5) Review

I am a big fan of mascot platformers, as I have made it well known here in many articles. However, there are several lesser-known platformers that I hold close to my heart as well. One of those is Croc: Legend of the…

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5) Review

At this point, if Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio tossed Like a Dragon (Yakuza) characters into a puzzle game or a hidden object game, I’d probably play it. While Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is neither of those genres, it does…

Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip (PS5) Review

Cozy/wholesome games are a blast to unwind to, and they’re still going strong in 2025, with thousands of gamers looking forward to the next Wholesome Direct to get their fix of low-key, low-stress games to look forward to. Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip would be…

Fairy Tail 2 (PlayStation 5) Review

Game adaptations for anime are sometimes hit or miss for me. Depending on the anime, I feel like certain adaptations are just overdone. Dragon Ball Z does well, as does One Piece, but a lot are half-baked attempts to capture the source…

Astro Bot (PS5) Review

I wrote an article back when I first got my PS5 about how Astro’s Playroom was probably the best usage of the PlayStation 5 and its Dualsense Controller that I had ever seen. I really loved Astro’s Playroom, but to my surprise,…

Rogue Flight (PS5) Review

For a kid that grew up with Star Fox 64, there seems to be a shortage in the nostalgia department for this style of game. Space combat gameplay is exhilarating, satisfying, and rewarding, and was a large attraction at arcades for decades, so…

Pneumata (PS5) Review

Pneumata is defined as “soul, spirit” and more specifically, “holy spirit”. It’s also the namesake of a game that’s seen release on Steam and is gearing up for a PlayStation 5 release on October 4th, 2024. With a premise of searching for your…

Lifeless Moon (PS5) Review

I have sat on this review longer than I sit on most, and I honestly have no idea why. Perhaps I am worried that it will be empty in some way or missing bits of important information that should be included. It…

ArcRunner (PS5) Review

The majority of my time with roguelites is spent with hidden gems on Steam that are the result of tons of hours searching high and low. So it’s a departure to see a game from this platform make enough of a splash…
