Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader (PC) Review

I’m a relative newcomer to the Warhammer 40K universe. I enjoy the overall theming and tone of the universe as well as the expansive lore which is ripe for storytelling. I also have some familiarity with the tabletop game, though I’m by…

BORE BLASTERS (PC) Review

I’ll never be able to get enough of the feeling of persistent progression within Rogue-lite games. The rewarding feeling that comes with every play session, whether it be hours of a grind I actually want to do or a brief pick-up-and-play for…

Star Trek: Picard “Remembrance” – Review

With more writers and story editor credits for one episode than there are brain cells that put together for “Et in Arcadia Ego,” I’m sure “Remembrance” can start and continue a great sequel series. Sarcasm aside, Picard was one of the shows I was…

Warhammer 40K: Shootas, Blood & Teef (PS5) Review

We’ve covered all manners of the Warhammer 40K universe in gaming here at Phenixx Gaming, whether it be Warhammer 40K: Boltgun which hits Xbox Game Pass this month, or the expansive Warhammer 40K: Darktide, which is still going strong. One release that slipped past my mind…

Classified: France ’44 (PC) – Review

Before your Navy Seals and modern US Rangers, the UK was forced to create the special forces as we know them today. While David Stirling and the SAS were off in Africa and eventually taking on Operation Pegasus, and the SBS were…

Mario vs. Donkey Kong Review

First released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance, Mario vs. Donkey Kong took the Super Mario experience and expanded it to focus more on puzzles and less on platforming. Reintroducing Donkey Kong as a villain after many games focusing on Bowser helped spark a…

Lower Decks “Old Friends, New Planets” – Review

An episode that’s a 30-minute version of Wrath of Khan, with heavy connections to TNG, including “Lower Decks?” I’m in! Directed by Bob Suarez, he returns from “Something Borrowed, Something Green” and “A Few Badgeys More” from earlier this season. As I’ve said before,…

Trinity Fusion (PS5) Review

As we’ve covered many Rogue-lites in the past, one such genre fusion I tend to shy away from is Metroidvania. While I find this meshing to be the most reliant upon RNG and brute forcing through some areas ignoring enemies to survive…

Tchia (PS5) Review

Tchia was a game we had our eye keenly on a year ago. An open-world adventure game based on the small archipelago of New Caledonia off the coast of Australia, it’s an homage and tribute to the area as much as it is…

Lower Decks “The Inner Fight” – Review

“What in the minimalist hell…” Finally, someone agrees with me, this simple and minimalist design everyone is going for is horrible. Maybe I should note that Mike McMahan’s “The Inner Fight” is a two-parter and all that before I start complimenting Beckett…
