Conan Chop Chop (PC) Review

Conan the Barbarian has had a lot of video games come to the forefront over the years. Whether it’s Conan Exiles which is infamous for letting you let it all hang out, the Age of Conan MMORPG, or the 2007 hack-and-slash game, there’s some…

Doctor Who “The Return of Doctor Mysterio” – Review

Funny story, well, it’s not really funny, but it is a story and one about Doctor Who. Yesterday when I was writing this week’s review, or rather while writing this review yesterday, a day ahead to keep up. Written tenses are a pain…

Vampire the Masquerade – Swansong (PlayStation 5) Review

This review has taken me twice as long as it should have to prepare. I love vampires, and I have for a very long time. As such, I find the world of Vampire: The Masquerade to be endlessly fascinating. Vampire: The Masquerade…

Neptunia x Senran Kagura Ninja Wars (PC) Review

Fanservice is the name of the game for both the franchises of Hyperdimension Neptunia and Senran Kagura. The former typically embraces the JRPG genre centered on four distinct girls, whereas the latter hones in on an action-packed dojo of crafty ninja women. Well, developers…

Card Shark (Switch) Review

Back in February, you may recall that another Steam Next Fest was held on Valve’s venerable digital distribution platform. During that event, among all the various game demos I downloaded, one demo stood out to me. You might also be aware that…

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising (PS5) Review

2020’s most highly funded Kickstarter excited me greatly. It was for a game called Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. It is inspired by games like Suikoden from the PS1 and PS2 eras and brings back mechanics close to my heart. While Hundred Heroes…

Doctor Who “Hell Bent” – Review

The truth of “Hell Bent” is that there are a few moments that are fan service, and even my cold dead heart(s?) flutter into higher rhythms at them. The moment where Peter is sitting outside the shack, surrounded by the proles of…

No Man’s Sky (PS4) – Review

I’m reasonably confident that this was said before, though it bears repeatings. Hello Games’ 2016 release of No Man’s Sky is possibly the most remarkable redemption arc we’ve seen in gaming for at least 10-years. Upon the launch of Sean Murray putting the…
