Doctor Who Series 3 “Utopia” – Review

I hate Peri. For those of you with only knowledge of New Who (2005-now), i.e mostly my editor, I’m not talking about today’s episode of “Utopia.” I’ve been listening to the Big Finish adventures from the start during lockdown. Not at an expeditious…

Forgotten Journeys: Team Fortress 2

I suspect that recurring readers of this series may recall that I typically don’t cover games under the “Forgotten Journeys” banner unless they meet at least one of three primary criteria. This series most often serves as a vehicle through which I…

Manifold Garden Steam Edition Gets Release Date

William Chyr Studio’s Manifold Garden really surprised me when I played it on Nintendo Switch. Now, after a successful Epic Games Store and Console release, much like Superliminal, Manifold Garden is coming to Steam. The award-winning puzzle game will be making its…

Mars Horizon (PC) – Preview

Animal Crossing Halloween Renewed My Obsession

I knew it would be a huge release, but the Animal Crossing update for Halloween changed my approach to the game. Before this past update for October’s spookiest holiday, I played about 10 minutes a day. I would essentially get my fossils, fish…

Wintermoor Tactics Club (Switch) Review

Tactical RPGs are some of my favorite experiences and yet Indie developers so rarely get them right. Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, Vandal Hearts, all of these are quality Tactical RPG experiences. However, naming indie gems in the turn-based Tactical RPG genre…

WRC 9 (Xbox One) – Review

There is something about rallying that is inherently exciting in concept. It is about driving fast on very tight courses while there are hazards on every side, including in front of you. I would compare it to F1, but there is a…

Superliminal Gets Steam Release Date

Superliminal was one of my favorite games of 2019 and 2020’s Switch release was just as fantastic. However, people who don’t use the Epic Games Store haven’t gotten to play it on PC yet. Pillow Castle Games has announced the Steam release…
