Wanted Shadows (PC) Early Access Review
I used to subscribe to the idea of weighing the worth of a game to the dollar per hour of time I spent playing it before I got sick of it/beat it. While I don’t follow that ideology anymore, I have no…

Jusant (PC) Review
While Telltale Games spent most of the 2010s establishing themselves as the prominent force in adventure titles, similar to Lucasarts’ heydey in the 1990s, DONTNOD made themselves known immediately when Life is Strange came to fruition in 2015. The captivating storytelling blended with…

Cavern of Dreams (PC) Review
In the recent resurgence of “boomer shooters” and remakes of games that are a couple of decades old, another form of modern game is capturing that vintage feel – 3D collect-a-thons. Whether it was A Hat in Time or Yooka Laylee, there is still…
Quantum Error (PS5) Review
I’m always willing to give a newer developer a shot so long as the premise of the title is enough to catch my attention. In Quantum Error‘s case, it’s Teamkill Media’s team of four brothers that are taking the reigns. The premise?…
Death Must Die (PC) Demo Impressions
Another day, another bullet heaven. That’s been my mantra throughout 2023, as I love plugging away at titles like Soulstone Survivors and Halls of Torment on my Steam Deck for hours on end while I feel my characters get stronger after every run. One…
Skull Island: Rise of Kong Has Hilarious Lazy Cutscene
There’s a special place in a lot of gamers’ hearts for the bargain-bin “so-bad-it’s-good” games. Some bad games are disappointments, but others are so downright buggy, lazy, and/or outrageous that they win over a lot of players. Such is the case with…
