Thunderbolts* (Movie) Review
At this point, many of my friends with whom I watched the Marvel Cinematic Universe films have bailed out. A few are willing to hang in there with me, but I have often been the only one willing to believe in the…

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping (PC) – Review
I won’t lie, I love Eugene McQuacklin, I’m maybe his number-one fan. Happy Broccoli Games’ Duck Detective: The Secret Salami last year left me wanting so much more. It even climbed to the second spot on my list of games of the…
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (PC) – Review
A few years ago, out of curiosity more than anything, I downloaded The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion through Game Pass and almost immediately stopped. The nearly 20-year-old release is not only showing its age by this point. Comparing it to Bethesda’s “Can…
Trails Through Daybreak II (PC) Review

Star Vortex Early Access (PC) Review
When I first heard the idea of “Diablo 2 in space”, my attention was immediately caught. That’s how Star Vortex was pitched to me, and it’s how the game is advertised in the very first sentence on its Steam page. The action-RPG formula has…

I feel old, and not just because I remember when money wasn’t plastic or digital dogs. The aesthetic of Cash Cleaner Simulator is that of the youth with their hips and hops, spray paint, generative AI, and cryptocurrencies. You play as someone…
Doctor Who “Lux” – Review
Oh my, King James suddenly got a lot less gay and became a lot more colorful. Written by showrunner Russell T Davies, it certainly is something of his that I can tell he’s had bubbling for a while. As Australian writer and…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PC) Review
There are many kinds of beauty. Art has a way of bringing out all manner of emotions and reactions in us as a response to the beauty or various reactions we have. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is beyond beautiful, and Sandfall Interactive…
