Marchen Forest (Switch) Review

Sometimes I have a tendency to request things based on what a trailer shows me, rather than what the game actually is. At first glance, Marchen Forest (formerly known as Marchen Forest: Mylne and the Forest Gift) looks like an RPG similar…

Doctor Who “The End of Time” – Review

Where do I even start? This is like reviewing “An Unearthly Child,” or both “The Day of the Doctor” and “The Time of the Doctor” at the same time. To downplay what “The End of Time” is, it is Russell T Davies’…

Hitman: Blood Money (PC) Review

Let’s perform a little thought experiment, shall we, folks? I’m going to say three simple words, and once I do, I will then spend time sharing with you my fondest memories and most deep-seated opinions associated with those words. I’d like for…

Heaven’s Vault (Switch) Review

I love games that make me think. That probably sounds like a ridiculous statement, but I mean games that really ask me to consider what I’m doing and what it all means. Heaven’s Vault is a very thought-provoking, introspective game. In fact,…

Doctor Who “The Waters Of Mars” – Review

Mars, what a dump! It is another one of those bloody base under siege episodes, I am sick of these under siege episodes. They are always a bit drab and there is hardly ever anything interesting about them. In fact, one of the…

Olija (PC) Review

Olija is the latest release from the aptly named Skeleton Crew Studio, a small and clearly closely-knit team working out of Kyoto. The team has delivered an intriguing story wrapped in fast-paced combat and new mechanics refreshing to the familiar landscape of…
