Call of Boba (PC) Early Access Review

A standout in recent Wholesome Directs for me has been Call of Boba, an inescapably-adorable pixel-art shop management game that not only looks cute as a button but is quite deep with tons of mechanics. Beyond running a bubble tea store, the title incorporates…

Wolfenstein: Youngblood (PC) Review

Second Wind’s Yahtzee Croshaw once said, “Nazis are like Skittles in that you can rid the world of as many as you like and never get a bad taste in your mouth.” Yahtzee is absolutely right about that, which is why I’m…

Atomfall (PC) – Review

By the 60s, the UK was returning to a decent economy with low unemployment, and Atomfall’s alt-history proposed a somewhat similar time frame. However, the fire at the Windscale nuclear power plant in 1957 seemed to be a bit of a setback;…

Eureka “Blink” – Review

It makes sense, a 15-year-old being attracted to a drug-dealing Robbie Rotten. If I’m honest, this might be the shortest first paragraph of my life, as the production staff aren’t new/refreshing. Directed by Jeffery Levy, he returns from “Many Happy Returns” for…

Atelier Yumia (Nintendo Switch) Review

I have loved the Atelier franchise since my mom bought Atelier Iris used at EB Games, sometime after its release in 2005. I remember it being tricky, since at the time there weren’t many copies due to the publisher (NIS America) being…

Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition (PC) Review

Sometimes life shows us that it is indeed possible to have too much of a good thing. That sentiment makes up most of how I feel about Shadow Warrior 3. I feel that way for several reasons, the first of which is…

Assassin’s Creed Shadows (PC) – Review

Ah yes, the Assassin’s Creed that everyone was complaining about because it has a Black guy in Japan, ignoring Nioh’s William Adams being turned Irish. Delayed a few times and noted for controversies beyond “going woke,” Assassin’s Creed Shadows takes the series…

Eureka “Dr. Nobel” – Review

And so it begins: “FARGO!!!” Directed by Jeff Woolnough, Woolnough is best known for two things: Three episodes of Battlestar Galactica and that annoying and horrible early episode of Stargate SG-1, “Emancipation.” It was not an episode that aged well. It is…

Monster Hunter Wilds (Xbox Series X) Review

One of the wonderful memories I have of the Wii U, a sentence you don’t read often, was deciding to pick up a game in a franchise I’d never played before but heard much about. Hours and hours later, Monster Hunter 3…

Wanderstop (PC) Review

In most cases, life doesn’t really turn out the way we think it will. We set a goal or an image in our heads of what our life will look like in 5 or 10 years, and when that time comes, it…
