Dear Evan Hansen Film Review

Oftentimes when watching underwhelming movies, it is easy to see a fascinating premise be wasted in execution. The opposite is the case for Dear Evan Hansen, which features many attributes worth praising. The ensemble of actors delivered genuinely good performances, while director…

Lost in Random (Switch) Review

I really like cute, yet strange games. A good example of that is Psychonauts or even MediEvil, both of which have a cute yet dark aesthetic. Lost in Random is actually an experience that surprised me. I expected a Roguelike experience set…

Doctor Who “Hide” – Review

An episode with crap jumpers, a big spooky house, tech of the 70s, and “I am speaking to the lost soul…” Yep, it is one of those horror-ish episodes with supernatural elements, and it just happens to have one of my least…

Sheltered 2 (PC) – Review

It was just two weeks ago (I think) that Sheltered was part of Epic’s weekly free game giveaway on the Epic Games Store. I think it was a little more than obvious that I wasn’t enthralled by it as a game, being focused around survival…

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Film) Review

SkateBIRD (Switch) Review

Skating games have seen a resurgence recently. Games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 Remaster, The Ramp, Session, and SkaterXL have brought skateboarding back into the hands of gamers. Skatebird (stylized as SkateBIRD) does things a little bit differently and has a…

The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain Film Review

Creating any film about police brutality will require a delicate touch. When handled well, these films can elicit powerful emotions of righteous anger, heartbreaking despair, and the spark of hope. When handled poorly, a film can be exploitative, cruel, and can cause…

Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! (PC) Review

“The year is 2041, and the United States is reeling from war. [T]hat hasn’t stopped business from booming.” I don’t know about you, but that certainly wasn’t the first pair of sentences I expected to hear when I began the story mode…

Doctor Who “Cold War” – Review

“Steam in the subway, earth is a afire.” If no one else is going to sing Duran Duran with David Warner in Russian while trapped at the bottom of the ocean with one of Elon Musk’s cousins, I will! This is genuinely…
