The Magicians Season 5 – Ep 1 Review

The following review may contain spoilers for both The Magicians Season 4 and the Season 5 premiere. If you have not caught up yet, consider skipping this review for now. 2019 was a divisive year for people consuming any sort of fictional…

Doctor Who – Series 12 “Orphan 55” Review

So in the last two weeks, I’ve been a bit down on Doctor Who. I didn’t love the last two because neither were proper Who episodes; they weren’t cheap, a bit crap, or generally about running, like a proper episode is meant to be.…

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (Xbox One) Review

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is chaotic, creative, and a refreshing take on the strategy genre. In April 2019, the game hit Steam Early Access. Just after the holiday season, the game released for Xbox Game Pass members as a Game Preview title.…

Doctor Who – Series 12 “Spyfall Part 2” Review

I think this should go without saying, however, there will always be complaints if it is not said: from now on in this series of articles you should expect sequential spoilers for this series. While we try to keep reviews spoiler free;…

Doctor Who – Series 12 “Spyfall Part One” Review

Apex Legends (PS4) Review

As the year closes out, I want to look back on a game that’s helped define the year for me. It’s a game that came out of nowhere but became an explosive hit. It’s a game that’s slotted its way into where…

South Park: The Stick of Truth (PC) – Review

Warning: The following review contains references to adult humor and plot. Some readers may find some of the content disturbing. I don’t like South Park. Rather I should say, I don’t love it, I’m not a fan, and I don’t hate it. I’ve…

Tech Support: Error Unknown (PC) Review

Within a select few reviews I’ve written for Phenixx Gaming, I’ve mentioned that I find myself strangely drawn to games which simulate what are typically considered “normal” jobs to any extent. In one such review, I amended that rather broad statement because…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Review

When I stepped into the theater today to watch Rise of Skywalker after seeing the movie hit the 50’s percentile on Rotten Tomatoes, I was less than excited. I rarely take reviews to heart, as all forms of media are subjective, but…
