Souldiers (PC) Review

What I’ve placed in my reviewing spotlight today is Souldiers, a 2D, high-fantasy metroidvania with a few Souls-like elements and a light sprinkling of Norse mythology added in for good measure. I shall now prepare a concise field debriefing about what makes…

Nintendo Direct July 2025 Rundown

With the Nintendo Switch 2 launch behind us, it is time for a new Nintendo Direct! Of course, this is a Partner Showcase, focused on third-party titles rather than first-party Nintendo releases. However, there is room for a lot of details and…

Keylocker is free on Epic

We’ll forgo the pretense of “look at other news from this week,” because I got a bit ranty over the weekend, and there was not much other news. Slime Rancher 2 got a release date, while this Black Desert Online-like, Chrono Odyssey, looks…

Eureka “Noche De Sueños” – Review

Walking around with the little Sheriff on display, eh, Jack? I know some people (my editor) who have that dream regularly, mostly of you. Directed by director and actor Eric Laneuville, he’s best known for being in 29 episodes of the 1970s…

Tainted Grail: Conquest (PC) Review

This marks the second game I’ve reviewed within a couple of weeks that’s both set in Arthurian mythology and evokes pleasant memories of Darkest Dungeon. Considering how much I like both of these things, I certainly won’t complain. The game under my…

EA College Football 26 (Xbox Series X) Review

For years, we awaited the return of EA Sports College Football video games. Following its return last year, the series now faces the unique challenge of following a release buffed by nostalgia and excitement. The series also deals with fans who are relatively critical…

Slime Rancher 2 gets Full Release Date

I really enjoyed my time with the original Slime Rancher. However, when Slime Rancher 2 came to Early Access, I chose to wait because I wanted to experience the game to the fullest extent. Now, Monomi Park has announced the full 1.0…

River City Girls Zero (PC) Review

River City Girls Zero, despite its title, is actually not an announcement of the final score at a particularly disappointing sporting event. Rather, it’s a side-scrolling beat-‘em-up that’s quite similar to those that were common in the heyday of arcades, the Super…
