Teeto (PC) Review

I love collect-a-thon platformers as much as the next guy. There’s something about colorful worlds full of colorful characters and secrets that usually gets me eager to explore. Unfortunately, Teeto doesn’t quite excite me the same way that some of the genre…

The Caribou Trail (PS5) Review

Of all the conflicts that have tested mankind in recent memory, World War 1 is not often portrayed in any form of media. In the video game space, we have been fortunate to have the wonderful WW1 series developed by Windmill Games…

Forensics: Crime Scene Detective (PC) – Review

Is it fair to say Forensics: Crime Scene Detective is the most German of German simulators? I don’t mean that in a bad way, like the sloppy German simulators; I mean the OMSIs of the German simulator. Developed by Binary Impact and…

Let’s Not Kill Physical Games

Last week, Sony decided to finally drop the bomb on everyone and announced that it will be ending physical disc production for all PlayStation titles, come January 2028. This news also arrives a week after Rockstar announced that GTA VI‘s physical release…

Ugly Betty “Bananas for Betty” – Review

“Oh my god, it’s Betty White,” no, she’s Hispanic, and Henry is her White. Here we go again with lines that will get me canceled. Directed by Michael Spiller, Spiller previously directed “In or Out,” and this is his second of five…

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced (PC) – Review

When you’re a professional pirate, it matters that you go on land as much as possible to tell a story of Assassins and Templars, neither of which are pirates. Technically, the 6th game in the series, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, is often…

Dead or Alive 6 Last Round (Xbox Series X) Review

First released in 2019, Dead or Alive 6 is the latest entry in the Dead or Alive franchise. Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo built the game on a brand-new graphics engine, released tons of characters and outfits, and, most interestingly, sought to slightly tone down…

Moonlight Peaks (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

Developer Little Chicken knows it isn’t launching the first farming life sim players have seen. Publisher XSEED understands this, too, having published a handful of games in this genre itself. The difference-maker, as I’ve written in the past about games like farming…

Crushed in Time (PC) Review

My subject today doesn’t simply break the fourth wall so much as it vaporizes the fourth wall, looks the player in the eye, and addresses them by name while informing them that an entire wall appears to have somehow gone missing. What…
