So long 2020—you were a terrible year for a lot of reasons, but a surprisingly good year for video games. Sure, there was the big letdown that was Cyberpunk 2077. But this […]
2020 In Review: Our Favorite Video Games of 2020
Review: Dirt 5–Way Beyond Rally
The Dirt series is probably my favorite racing franchise. Not only are there high quality versions coming out of Codemaster every other year or so, you can get them in two flavors: […]
Review: The Survivalists Throws Monkeys into the Survival Mix
Co-op and open world survival games are some of the best. Some of my best experiences have been playing with friends on some digital island, surviving by gathering resources and grinding out […]
Review: Little Big Workshop Is a Rare, Delightful Console Management Game
I love management games. There’s something incredibly satisfying with taking a small operation, and expanding it until it gets larger. Cut out the fat, increase efficiency– you know, that sort of thing. […]

Review: Summer in Mara is an Escape into Paradise
These have been some dark days. 2020 has been, for a lot of us, a pretty crappy year. I think that’s why games like Animal Crossing have been so popular. People just […]
Review: Desperados III Is a Wild West Stealth Tactical Dream
I never played the Desperados series before. I had certainly heard of it, but this almost twenty year old series was just outside the games I usually played–which is too bad, because […]
Review: Beyond Blue is a Love Letter to the Ocean
I loved Subnautica and Soma. They’re two very different games, but they’re both terrifying glimpses into the deep unknown. But those games were built to scare, and weren’t so much about […]
