Sam and Max: Beyond Time and Space (Switch) Review

Last year, I really enjoyed my time with Sam & Max Save the World when it was released on Nintendo Switch. I had missed the Sam & Max games the first time around, so playing through the first “Season” of sorts, was…

6Souls (Switch) Review

Sometimes I catch myself looking at a game and expecting it to be better than what is advertised. It isn’t really a fault of the marketing department, sometimes I just see a concept and expect it to be really great, when it…

Tales of Arise (PS5) Review

Tales of Arise is the newest entry in the long-running Tales series and after a few years of planning and production, the execution is nearly flawless. From top to bottom, the mechanics of the game complement every activity you’ll be partaking in…

Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot: The First Case (Switch) Review

I love a good mystery game. Murder Mystery Machine, Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders, and plenty of other games have captured the good serotonin boost of solving a good whodunit recently. The successor to The ABC Murders, Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot: The…

White Shadows (PC) Review

After seeing the announcement trailer for White Shadows last year at Gamescom, my interest was pretty quickly piqued. I’m always on board for a Limbo or Inside kind of platformer where the controls are simple and the world is grim and weird.…

Before We Leave (Xbox One) – Review

Before We Leave is a post-apocalypse city-builder about moving humanity from the point where Vault-Tec has Logan’s Run itself into obsolescence. You are the omnipotent god that is trying to take people from hovels while rebuilding humanity to be spacefaring tech-giants fighting space whales.…
