Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning (PC) Review

Full disclosure: I never had the opportunity to play the original game of Kingdoms of Amalur. In other words, this isn’t going to be a game of “which version did it better?” Also yes, I did roll my eyes on the inside…

Remothered: Broken Porcelain (PC) Preview

Warning: This article contains mentions of transphobia. Full disclosure: I approached the opportunity to preview Remothered: Broken Porcelain cautiously. Having read some of the feedback on its predecessor, Remothered: Tormented Fathers, I had some concerns when it came to whether the sequel…

Ary and the Secret of Seasons (PC) Review

Last month, I had the opportunity to play through the preview of eXiin’s RPG-esque puzzle platformer, Ary and the Secret of Seasons. Having now played through the full game, some parts of my initial experience have very much held up. At the…

Manifold Garden (Switch) Review

Games like Portal and Antichamber have captivated the minds of puzzle gamers for years now. Granted, with that love for first-person puzzle solving, we’ve also gotten a lot of games that haven’t really…innovated the genre. Superliminal is an example of a first-person…

As some of you may recall, I wrote a preview of Skully, by Finish Line Games, about a month ago. Having been provided with a review code for the full game‘s release, I’ve been giving it a second, more comprehensive look. The first…

CrossCode (PS4) Review

Indie games are a big part of my gaming experience these days. Yes, there are a lot of lackluster games out there, but there are also some really great gems. CrossCode is one of the few Indie “darlings” that I’ve missed out…

Xbox Is Happy Game Pass Isn’t Profitable

For a while now, I’ve been a strong and vocal advocate for the Xbox Game Pass system, the Netflix of games. When I last used it, before issues within Microsoft’s system, it was about 120+ games on the Xbox One. Some of…

Underhero (PC) Review

Underhero by Paper Castle Games is a 2D side-scrolling game with RPG and platforming elements. You play as a nameless, masked minion to the kind of cartoony overlord boss most video games ask you to defeat. Underhero plays with and bucks familiar ideas…
