Dark Deity (PC) Review

One of the standout indie announcements of E3 2021 for me was Dark Deity. Revealed during the Freedom Games showcase and released shortly after, Dark Deity is a game that makes its inspiration very clear. While it may seem like a clone…

Doctor Who “Closing Time” – Review

I think you can call me as biased as you like. I don’t like Garth Roberts, I really don’t like James Corden, I have a TARDIS on my desk, and generally, when talking about Doctor Who, I can be a bit left…

Operation Tango (PC) Review

Communication is one of mankind’s greatest feats, as it separates us from other species by showing we can share intelligence to achieve a common goal. Video games have explored this with asynchronous multiplayer, most notably in the VR title Keep Talking and…

Chivalry 2 (PC) Review

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is one of my most played games of all time. The first-person knight simulator introduced a refined, skill-based form of combat to me that was as addictive as it was engaging and visceral. I made it a habit to play…

Ender Lillies: Quietus of the Knights (PC) Review

Apparently, this is the month where I decided to jump out of my comfort zone. First I did a preview of The Last Spell (Strategy/defense Roguelike), and now I’m covering a Souls-like Metroidvania. Basically, this month is where I play genres I…

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…
