Hellpoint (XBO) – Review

It is the same with every single Souls–Borne, Sekiro and Souls-like game. You have to delve into your own head like it is Psychonauts and play the minigame of Find and Replace. One minute your Estus is called “Ashen flasks,” your souls are “Blood echoes,”…

Relicta (PC) Review

Puzzle games are easily the most hit-or-miss in gaming. There are greats like Portal, The Talos Principle, and Obstruction, but also polarizing titles like Myst, Superliminal, and Bad Rats. It’s tough to create a game that’s a head-scratcher not thanks to its…

Yakuza Kiwami 2 (XBO) – Review

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the Yakuza series is a magical little bundle of madness and joy in every single way. Partly a spectacle fighter, part crime thriller, part visual novel, part anime, and completely mental. It is mad to…

Carrion (Nintendo Switch) Review

Glory and gore go hand in hand as you take up the mantle of a tentacled biomass in the recently released Carrion. It is a self-described ‘reverse horror’ game, and it’s your job, as the monster, to slime and slap your way…

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for The Orville episode “A Happy Refrain” Another week and another episode of The Orville. We’re almost at the halfway point for the season and I can’t help but wonder how the series is going to…

Doctor Who “The Runway Bride”

Doctor, Donna. Donna, Doctor. The pairing that just brings nothing but pure and utter seething contempt for the characterization of a single figure. See, if you don’t pay attention to Catherine Tate’s role in Doctor Who, you could probably enjoy it like I…

Skully (PC) Review

As some of you may recall, I wrote a preview of Skully, by Finish Line Games, about a month ago. Having been provided with a review code for the full game‘s release, I’ve been giving it a second, more comprehensive look. The first…

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (PC) Review

As one of my favorite games of all time, Left 4 Dead‘s premise and success has never truly been recaptured by another title since its surge in popularity at the turn of the previous decade. With guerrilla survival executed with intense, visceral…

CrossCode (PS4) Review

Indie games are a big part of my gaming experience these days. Yes, there are a lot of lackluster games out there, but there are also some really great gems. CrossCode is one of the few Indie “darlings” that I’ve missed out…

Dark Nights with Poe and Munro (PC) Review

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Dark Nights with Poe and Munro, mentions of racism, and mentions of biphobia. Recently, my article addressing the well-earned controversy around FMV Future’s announced, then rapidly walked back, Gamer Girl FMV, brought me into the orbit…
