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…

CarGo! (Xbox Series X) Review

The frantic, pedal-to-the-metal chaos of co-op games like Overcooked or Moving Out makes video games feel exciting and overwhelming in a good way. We all know that collaborating with friends to accomplish a task when the clock is ticking can bring out the best…

Amongst the First-Person puzzle games that were released in the wake of Portal and other such titles, nothing was quite like The Talos Principle. With a mix of philosophy and questions about humanity, its puzzles were more than just fun play. The…

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remastered (PS5) Review

I am a big fan of mascot platformers, as I have made it well known here in many articles. However, there are several lesser-known platformers that I hold close to my heart as well. One of those is Croc: Legend of the…

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) Review

I wrote a few intros for this review and kept deleting them. I don’t want to continue harping on the fantastic library of games the Wii U had. I don’t even want to talk about how despite its cult following, the Xenoblade Chronicles…

Sports: Renovations (PC) – Review

Do I need to run down the details I’ve already covered in the preview of Sports: Renovations? A blonde woman named Jesse sees a news piece late at night and does what all women do: Try to save anything slightly dying. The…
