Sometimes my taste in video games can be a bit weird, as I tend to like games with a grind, especially those with satisfying mechanics. Games like Elite Dangerous can have me […]
Review: King of Seas Pirate’s Life Is Not Compelling
Review: Dry Drowning Is a Dark Mystery Now on Nintendo Switch
Visual novels have enjoyed steadily popularity despite their somewhat niche status—they’re not quite novels, but they’re not exactly fast paced enough to be adopted by the mainstream. Still, there have been quite […]
Review: The Red Lantern Shines
Surviving in a harsh winter environment was never my idea of a good video game, that is, until The Long Dark came around. I loved surviving in its post-apocalyptic winter. Every decision […]
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: The Surge 2’s Fast, Visceral Combat is Challenging, Satisfying
Game reviewing sometimes leads to lots of comparisons between games. It’s hard not to compare when a developer takes unique ideas and/or gameplay mechanics from a popular game and incorporates them into […]
Review: Children of Morta: Familiar ARPG and Rogue-Lite Elements Meet Unique Familial Mechanics
Action role-playing games (ARPGs) were something I spent a lot of time playing. So much so, I got kind of sick of them. That’s why, when a special ARPG comes along, […]
Review: Rage 2 is an Incredible Shooter Buried in a Massive and Boring Open World
The hype was real. I mean, really real. Rage wasn’t the best game, but I was one of the few people that actually liked its Borderlands meets Fallout aesthetic and super-fast, […]
