Madden NFL 22 (PS4) – Review

“What makes America the greatest country on earth?” The New York Jets. Despite repeated assertions that I’m an American, I am not. Sure, I’ve consumed a few hot dogs, I’ve witnessed a baseball game, I have watched an Indy Car race, and…

Necrobarista: Final Pour (Switch) Review

A surprise out of the last Indie World direct came in the form of Necrobarista: Final Pour. I had heard good things from our own Keiran McEwen about this particular Visual Novel, which is high praise from someone who generally despises Visual…

Boyfriend Dungeon (Switch) Review

Since Boyfriend Dungeon’s Kickstarter campaign began, I knew the developers at Kitfox Games had something special on their hands. There was something immediately intriguing about the idea of weapons that are people, who fight alongside you in dungeons and grow closer to…

Doctor Who “The Angels Take Manhattan” – Review

Writing an ending to a story is one of the hardest things to do, crafting something that ties up as many ends as possible while also being satisfying. When I started writing reviews, I hated the ending. I knew the conclusions, but…

The Ascent (PC) Review

Twin-stick shooters have been my bread and butter for more than a decade now. I got my start on a mobile game called Gun Bros. and found that with ample weapon/enemy variation, the genre can get a lot of great hours of gaming…

Haven Park (Switch) Review

I’ve really been loving more calm, chill, peaceful games lately. There is something about being able to just sit down and unwind with a game that doesn’t ask much in the way of rapid-fire button presses and combos or QTE’s, that has…

Zengeon (Switch) Review

I’ve been playing a lot of Roguelikes recently. I’ve played a lot of great ones, such as Hades, Dreamscaper, Undermine, etc. However, this has also made lackluster Roguelikes that much more obvious. Zengeon is a punishingly difficult Roguelike that offers multiplayer, stylish-looking…

Death’s Door (Xbox One) – Review

Death’s Door is an isometric, hacky-slashy, Souls-like with the adventure of a Zelda-like and the grimness of the aforementioned Demon’s/Dark Souls. You play as a crow-reaper in a world that has, more or less, cured death. You are basically middle-management in death’s accountancy firm. Your first…

Road 96 (PC) Review

From the second I saw the first trailer for Road 96, I was intrigued. The idea of a procedurally generated approach to a narrative was immediately something I had to see for myself. Road 96 is almost like an interactive film but…
