Infinity Nikki (PC) Review

I was only tangentially aware of the Nikki series before Infinity Nikki was announced. However, as someone who is very particular about armor aesthetics (fashion?) in RPGs, I was immediately intrigued by Infinity Nikki’s concept. Having spent a good bit of time…

Highway Police Simulator (PC) – Review

Newton’s third law of motion said that for every action, there has to be an equal and opposite reaction. My theory is that for every moderately good simulator in a subgenre, there needs to be an equal and opposite addressing to balance…

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Movie) Review

Of all the movies that I have written reviews for, this is the first one in quite a bit that caused me to think about it for a long time. The War of the Rohirrim review also took a bit, but that…

Terminator Zero (TV Series) Review

I had originally meant to review this show on release earlier in 2024, but it wasn’t meant to be. I didn’t get around to watching the series until a few weeks ago. I’ll admit I’m not the most well-educated on the Terminator…

Luck Be a Landlord (PC) Review

It seems like 2024 was the year of the “Casino Rogue-like” to some degree. Games like Balatro, Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers, and other indies put a Rogue-like twist on typical casino games. Released in 2023, Luck Be a Landlord is one such…

Lower Decks “Upper Decks” – Review

Let’s go, Sisko was mentioned! Returning once again with another interesting take on the formula and a play on a show’s title, Cullen Crawford returns to write “Upper Decks.” Oh yeah, I thought I’d switch it up, give the writer the top…

Blightbound (PC) Review

When your homeland is cursed by a withering blight, who do you intend to call? Three random adventurers who happen to fit bog-standard RPG character archetypes! Okay, I know that’s nowhere near as catchy as the theme song from Ghostbusters, but it’s…

Crime Scene Cleaner (PC) – Review

It’s not every day you get an email from a known groundskeeper at a cemetery called “Pete” Sutcliffe about the upkeep of your dead wife’s grave. President Studio and PlayWay’s Crime Scene Cleaner is just the latest in the long line of…

Roadwarden (PC) Review

Text-based RPGs have never been “my jam,” as I suspect the youth would say. I didn’t grow up in what I think of as the genre’s “golden age” a few decades ago, so perhaps that’s why I’ve never gone out of my…

Astro Bot (PS5) Review

I wrote an article back when I first got my PS5 about how Astro’s Playroom was probably the best usage of the PlayStation 5 and its Dualsense Controller that I had ever seen. I really loved Astro’s Playroom, but to my surprise,…
