Prison Architect 2 Announced, Coming This Year

Released into Early Access in 2012, Introversion Software’s Prison Architect became a major success story for the realm of Early Access on Steam and crowdfunding. The private prison builder/management sim is one of my favorites of the 2010s, a perfect recapturing of…

Automobilista 2 (PC) Review

If you go on the internet and talk about Codemasters with even a hint of positivity, chances are that you’ll be stoned to death with sticks for not instantly following that up with, “But it is not a real simulator.” Unless you…

Sail Forth Is Free On Epic

Monday, we got out the Prime Gaming update for January. Don’t worry, it isn’t that interesting, you’ll probably not want to bother with this month at all. There was no other news this week, as we’ve been on a break for the last…

Lower Decks “In the Cradle of Vexilon” – Review

Allamaraine, count to four, Allamaraine, then three more, Allamaraine, if you can see, Allamaraine, you’ll come with me. That’s everyone who watched DS9 now in the corner, in the fetal position crying. Let’s talk about staff writer Ben M Waller’s “In the Cradle…

Days Gone (PC) – Second Opinion Review

There is a lot that can be said of Days Gone, not all of it good and not all of it about the game itself. Most notably, one of the game’s directors/writers said last year that the game got bad reviews because of “woke…

You can ram your Spare and other pointless stories from people who don’t need to be in the public consciousness. As someone who makes a point of reading for enjoyment first and foremost, as well as just delving so deep into my extensive library,…
