Channel Zero Episode 6 Review: “Welcome Home”

Having arrived at the closing of Channel Zero‘s first season, “Candle Cove,” I’m pleased to say (as odd as the sentiment may be) that this final episode might be the strongest in the season. For one, it seems to have finally figured…

Call Of The Sea (XBO) – Review

An adventure game set in the 1930s with a beautiful art-style that balances its dark undertones with rose-tinted idealism of the time? Of course I am into that idea. Call of the Sea is just that, lead by Cissy Jones as Norah…

Art Of Rally (PC) – Review

A few times this year, I’ve covered games that are about rallying, Finland’s national sport. The problem with rallying is that while it is dangerous, it is also very dull. Yes, I am talking of the men (it’s mostly men) sitting in…

Doctor Who “Turn Left” – Review

Oh, there are many lines here I am ready to shout about with anger, “England, for the English,” “Donna Noble, you’re the most important woman in the whole of creation,” and so on. Last time in “Midnight,” we spoke of our human…

Morbid: The Seven Acolytes (PC) Review

Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. Sinking my teeth into Morbid: The Seven Acolytes at the tail end of workdays or on weekends felt like marrying Bloodborne with Diablo. However, it added some new sprinklings that, to developer…

Channel Zero Episode 5 Review: “Guest of Honor”

Warning: This article contains mentions of murder and death, and spoilers for Channel Zero. One of Channel Zero’s greatest strengths is its visual attention to detail in both set-building and costume design. This has been true pretty much throughout, but it comes…

Coffee Talk (PC) Review

Forgive me for stating the painfully obvious here folks, but this year has been quite unusual to say the absolute least. I would wager that, for at least a few thousand people around the globe, 2020 will likely go down as one…

Cyberpunk 2077 (PC) Review

It’s safe to say millions have been dying to play Cyberpunk 2077, as the game has finally landed on digital store shelves after its announcement almost a decade ago. We knew from the start that development would take ages, but a common misconception…
