Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Demo Impressions
Not a day goes by anymore that I don’t want to play a bullet heaven. I’m currently grinding away at Soulstone Survivors and have several more hours to go, enjoying the chaos of fighting thousands of enemies with only a few buttons. When Deep…
Long Gone Days (PC) Review
Whenever I hear about a turn-based game, I tend to stay away. I prefer having a full hand in the action that plays out with combat that is based on skill and less so on chance and intense strategy. I felt the…

I grew up with a lot of sports games, especially in the era where the action was exaggerated and arcade-y to the max. When I wasn’t playing NFL Blitz, I took a liking to NBA Jam‘s ludicrous presentation and huge fun factor any chance…
Boti: Byteland Overclocked (PC) Review
If I’m not looking for the next roguelite or bullet heaven to sink a ton of time into, I have a penchant for platformers of the 3D variety. Hearkening back to the most nostalgic genre for me, I just love collecting everything…
