The Outer Worlds (Xbox) Review

I’m a big fan of dystopian future narratives and cyberpunk environments in literature. The easiest way to introduce readers to these sorts of stories and environments is to throw them something from Ray Bradbury or Phillip K. Dick. Even then, one of…

Red Dead Redemption 2 (XBO) – Review

I’ve got a problem with Red Dead Redemption 2, it is hardly a game. It is a beautiful gallery of the turn of the century architecture in the New Orleans-style city, post-civil war battlefields, and the second industrial revolutionary townships in the south.…

Frostpunk (XBO) – Review

I am a villain. No, really; the first thing I did when I was given the option to enact a new law in the frozen tundra of my new city was child labor. Tropico 6, you might have all that humor business…

Indivisible (Xbox One) Review

The Surge 2 (XBO) Review

My tent is firmly pitched up the mountain that FromSoftware has made with their Souls/Born/Sekiro games, so you can call me biased all you like. I wouldn’t say I am the type of person that could do a dance mat run by…

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series (XBO) Review

I won’t lie, I cried a little to the end of the first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead. It was a truly engaging plotline with interesting characters I actually cared about. That and I was a teenager at the time of its…

Greedfall Review: The Start of Something Good

Something a lot of RPGs fail to trigger in me is a sense of enthrallment. I love action RPGs quite a bit, but few make me feel invested in the story. Mass Effect is a great example of a series where I…
