Doctor Who – Series 12 “Spyfall Part One” Review

I love Doctor Who. How do I know this? I’ve been watching the show since its return in 2005, I often quote it, and as I write this and rewatch the episode I’m drinking out of a TARDIS mug. Previously I’ve spoken about…

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (PS4) – Review

It is that point in the year, and decade for that matter, that we all look back at what we’ve played. Now, yes I know Drake’s Fortune didn’t release this decade, but I played it this decade so your argument is beside the…

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…

Overcooked 2 (Switch) Review

The Onion King has been fiddling around with magic that must not be touched. The bread has risen… the Unbread! Horrible undead pieces of moldy bread are haunting the kingdom… at least, that’s what he says. It’s largely an informed problem that…

Blacksad: Under The Skin (Xbox One) – Review

Warning: The content in this game may be disturbing to some readers. Reader Discretion is advised. You know, there are always some topics that are hard to talk about when we review games here on Phenixx Gaming. Not because we don’t want…

Life is Strange 2 (PC) Review

In 2015, I picked up Life is Strange on a whim. I was a humongous Telltale fan, and was fascinated by the trailer’s artistic approach and unique presence. All it took was one episode for me to fall in love. The emphasis on…

Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard (PC) Review

It is rare that a Point-and-Click game surprises me. In fact, I’ve played a fair few this year, and most of them haven’t been anything out of the ordinary. However, Grace Bruxner’s sequel to The Haunted Island: A Frog Detective Game was,…
