The Knightling (PC) Review

Playing games growing up with the sixth and seventh generation of consoles meant exploring vast, sprawling 3D worlds where I could let my imagination be captivated and run wild. Whether it was a Zelda, a Ratchet & Clank, or anything in between, the prospect…

Strange Antiquities (PC) Review

I loved Strange Horticulture when I played it a year or so ago. Something about the cozy, relaxed nature of identifying plants, with eldritch, spooky elements thrown in, just made for a nice time. Now, the developers have tickled my urge to…

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor (PC) Review

It always warms my cynical heart to see a game I enjoy launch successfully out of Steam Early Access. Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is the newest entry to that list. Steam tells me I spent about fifteen hours playing Deep Rock Galactic:…

SNW “Hegemony, Part II” – Review

I see that I’m the default translator then, fandabidozi (phan-dab-ae-dozi). Directed by Warehouse 13 Seasons 3 and 4, the season 1 finale and season 2 opener of Strange New Worlds, and more than a baker’s dozen of The Magician director, Chris Fisher…

Eureka “All That Glitters… A Night at Global Dynamics” – Review

She’s back! This will be an odd one because it is a two-parter that isn’t written or directed by the same people, which is strange. “All That Glitters,” which is part 1, is directed by “invincible” director Michael Grossman, with writing coming…

Void War (PC) Review

Something has been annoying me for a few months now, and I want to discuss it. Void War is a recent release that almost every gaming news outlet and their dog has described as “FTL: Faster Than Light set in the Warhammer…

David’s Backlog Busting: Shadows of Forbidden Gods

I often say my goal is to get through as much of my game backlog as I can before the heat death of the universe. Today, under the Backlog Busting microscope, is a game that requires you to bring about a different,…
