Lushfoil Photography Sim (PC) – Review

I’ve always hated the derision that the walking simulator genre gets, even if I understand why some rightfully do get slated for their lack of gameplay or ideas. One thing I’ve never hated in any game, ever (since the dawn of time…

Eureka “Once in a Lifetime” – Review

I mean, it isn’t: Jack is waking up to strange new worlds all the time. This episode is directed by Michael Lange, who is best known for far too many episodes of something called Greek. I don’t want to be disparaging, but…

Food Truck Simulator (PC) Review

I’ve often heard that small-time, local food trucks typically offer a much more enjoyable dining experience than most massive restaurant chains. I can’t speak to that in either direction. What I can tell you definitively, however, is that Drago Entertainment has released…

Editor’s Note: The following review contains discussion of adult topics and sensitive subjects. Reader discretion is advised. Sometimes, when trying to choose games to review, I dip outside of my comfort zone. Other times, I think I’m looking at a game that…

Eureka “H.O.U.S.E. Rules” – Review

Doctor Who will start two weeks from now. I’m a bit busy dealing with AI house problems right now. Directed by Jeff Woolnough and written by Harry Victor, the two last worked on “Dr. Nobel” earlier in the season, and this is…

Knock on the Coffin Lid (PC) Review

Deck-Building Rogue-likes are one of the ways I wind down when I’m not working. Some of them follow the typical Slay the Spire formula, while others do a few things differently. Knock on the Coffin Lid is one of the more interesting…

Lunar Remastered Collection (PC) Review

My recent review slate has been an exercise in returning to the classics. First, I covered the Suikoden I and II remasters, and now I’m on to another classic series. Until the Sony State of Play announced the Lunar Remastered Collection back…

Death of a Unicorn (Movie) Review

A24 has been a stamp of quality small-budget films for quite a long time. Everything from Ex Machina to Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, they are constantly releasing fascinating stories. In fact, I often find that the more ridiculous a title…

Finding Frankie (PS5) Review

Mascot Horror was all the rage in the mid-2010s, so I didn’t personally think the genre had much steam left in it as we hit 2025. Be that as it may, Finding Frankie launched on Steam in October of 2024 and received quite…
