Forestrike (PC) Review

Sifu took the world by storm in 2023. A martial arts title where failed fights could be redone with some knowledge of what to expect, it’s a rewarding exercise in persistence and ascendance. When “game over” isn’t the end, it becomes more of…

Demonschool (PC) Review

Admittedly, I had intended to have a full review of Demonschool ready to go live on Wednesday. However, as I began to play Demonschool later than originally planned (due to some delays for various reasons), I realized I’d have to take my…

SNW “New Life and New Civilizations” – Review

For those that come after. Directed by Maja Vrvilo, Vrvilo is best known for episode 17 of Limitless, the first of Short Treks, two of Picard, two of Discovery, two previous episodes of Strange New Worlds, as well as two from The…

Shard Squad (PC) Review

The list of bullet heaven roguelites continues, as this is one genre that isn’t losing any steam on Steam. Honestly, it can keep at it, with Deep Rock Galactic Survivor and BALL x PIT still occupying a ton of playtime for me in 2025. Another…

Dragon Quest I and II HD-2D Remake (Switch 2) Review

I absolutely love the Dragon Quest franchise. I have as much history with it as I do the Final Fantasy series. So, when I heard that Square Enix was following up the release of the Dragon Quest III remake with the first…

SNW “Terrarium” – Review

Pah-wraiths! Pah-wraiths! Pah-wraiths! Ahh, spoil sports. In his directorial debut, Andrew Coutts takes the helm, commanding the Strange New Worlds penultimate episode for season three. It isn’t Coutts first foray with Strange New Worlds or even Star Trek, though. He was previously…

Fluxx (Movie) Review

The world of Indie Movies is a relatively new experience for me. With the types of theaters I have in my area, the majority of films that I have been exposed to are big-budget ones that feature household names like Denzel Washington…

Anima: Gate of Memories I and II Remaster (PC) Review

Anima: Gate of Memories and Anima: The Nameless Chronicles are two games that I always wanted to play and purchase, but never really got around to it. To my surprise, the developers over at Anima Project decided to rebuild and remaster the…

SNW “Four-and-a-Half Vulcans” – Review

That’s it, I’m becoming racist towards Vulcans; it is the only logical option! Directed by Jordan Canning, this is her second episode of the season, having previously worked on “Charades.” I believe it was the philosopher and inventor Meat Loaf who said,…

Two Point Museum (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

Two Point Museum was one of my gaming highlights earlier this year upon its initial release. Since then, I’ve revisited the game in spurts and sessions when I was feeling that itch for the unique and zany world of Two Point games. Now, the…
