Far Cry 5 is a Hot Mess

I’ve been a massive fan of the Far Cry franchise for the better part of a decade. I have fond memories of Far Cry 2 being one of the first things I bought on Steam, plowing through Far Cry 3‘s immersive, fantastic narrative with Jason Vaas. I…

Judging the Mass Effect Trilogy in 2021

The tough thing about games like the Mass Effect trilogy is that debates about the games are tough to navigate. If you played the games in the 2000s and 2010s and enjoyed them, then you’re likely excited about the Legendary Collection coming later this…

Nintendo Should Make Animal Crossing Plushies

Animal Crossing: New Horizons was the self-care we all needed in 2020. Museums used it for digital tours, drag performers put on full performances in Animal Crossing, and the average person took some time to relax and decompress on an island paradise.…

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: First Impressions

I saw Assassin’s Creed Odyssey receive universal praise and suggested it to friends without experiencing it myself. I had mentioned previously that it was marked down in the Epic Games Store winter sale to a low price of $7.49, and I just…

I Was Wrong – Star Trek: Discovery

Watch Dogs: A Shaky Series On Fumes

If any series has a negative connotation attached to it, it’s likely Watch Dogs. The first thought in most gamers’ heads is that the first game deviated ridiculously from its E3 2012 outing to its actual release in 2014. It’s unfortunately a night-and-day…

On Civilization VI’s Babylon DLC Pack

Folks, I’m going to start this article off by readily admitting that I seem to have fallen severely behind schedule. Keiran informed me yesterday morning that Firaxis announced that they are finalizing preparations to release the penultimate piece of downloadable content within…

Wonka Is Needless & The Speculated Casting Is Dull

I have spent the morning angrily playing C followed by D# with that followed by A#, something I thought previously impossible. It turns out you can play “Pure Imagination” with nothing but anger. Especially when you know for a fact the newly announced…

GALAHAD 3093 Beta First Impressions

The mech gaming genre has certainly had some ups and downs over the years. Metal Wolf Chaos is a hysterical, campy mech title. Steel Battalion has one of the most legendary controller peripherals of all time. Its follow-up, a Kinect exclusive, didn’t fare too well. I…
