Mind Scanners (PC) Review
If you know anything about me based on my past written work here on Phenixx Gaming, you probably know that a quick way to get my attention is to tell me about a game that’s at least somewhat similar to Papers, Please.…

Doctor Who “The Girl Who Waited” – Review
Could you do it? That’s always the question I ask myself when there is a moment of morality and love in Doctor Who, could you do it? No. I’d never want that moment. I’d rather be the one stuck in that spot of…
Doctor Who “Night Terrors” – Review
Over the weekend, I picked up a few little decor bits and pieces for my office, simple things. One of which is just a very nice art piece of that giraffe scene from The Last of Us. A scene in a game that really…
Broforce (PC) – Review
I’ve had friends who say “Bro” a lot, and I’ve always felt uncomfortable saying “Super Mario Bros.” It is just a phrase that feels uncomfortable in my mouth, like the phrases “chaises lounge,” “boy” or “girl,” and “I think the tory manifesto…
Ninja Gaiden Master Collection (Switch) Review
It might seem strange to people that worship at the altar of FromSoftware, but prior to the release of Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, a different company and game franchise held the crown for punishing difficulty. This company also happened to compete…
Rise Of The Tomb Raider (Xbox One) – Review
Right, let’s get this very straight: Mike and I are on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to Tomb Raider (2013). He reviewed it with the mindset of someone who enjoyed Uncharted, while I’d be removing Nathan Drake’s teeth from a wall…
Big Finish Doctor Who “The Creeping Death” – Review
“[is] he your boyfriend?” sounds like the type of mid-2000 blend of passé humor and light homophobia in some cases, but in 1952 that type of thing can get you arrested around these parts. London! What a dump. Oh, you know how it…
The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark (Switch) Review
I’m a big fan of quirky games. I like games that take common ideas and tropes and twist them around a little. Point-and-Click games have a tendency to do this a lot and can be more experimental and get away with it.…
Biomutant (Xbox One) – Review
For years now, I’ve seen the key-art for Biomutant and thought, “I should play that sometime,” forgetting it wasn’t out yet. Then I’d repeat this several times since its first announcement back in 2017, always assuming I’d get around to it one day when…
Earth Defense Force: World Brothers (PC) Review
I’ve been playing Earth Defense Force titles on and off for more than ten years. I’ve been wildly fascinated by the idea of taking on tons of terrifyingly-large bugs, robots, and aliens in a destructible city, armed to the teeth with tons of differing…
