Dustborn (PC) Review

The first time that I heard about Dustborn is when it popped up on Amazon as a coming soon game for the PlayStation 5. At first, it seemed like an odd-looking game with a not-so-clear genre based on the cover art, screenshots,…

Star Trek: Picard “Monsters” – Review

Oh good, I get to tell another man’s traumatic story as a result of everything we’ll see. Directed by Joe Menendez, Menendez isn’t known for much if I’m honest. An episode or two of a thing here, an episode or two of…

The Crush House (PC) – Review

Though you can track the origins of reality TV back to the 1940s with radio and short films for TV, the 70s and 80s spawned something closer to what we know now. However, it wasn’t until John de Mol Jr created the…

Vampire Therapist (PC) Review

Editor’s Note: Vampire Therapist contains mature themes related to mental health and is not suited for all audiences. I am very picky when it comes to visual novels or narrative-focused games. However, now and then a game will come across my inbox…

If you knew anything about F1 24 before playing it, the handling has changed due to the partnership between EA and World Champion Max Verstappen to be more “Authentic.” That’s all I’d heard as we waited for the code fairies to come…

Star Trek: Picard “Fly Me to the Moon” – Review

Let me play among the stars… In fact, after the details over the last few years, it is best not to. Directed by some vigorous young man looking to break into this Star Trek business, Jonathan Frakes helms the chair for these…

Darkest Dungeon 2 (Nintendo Switch) Review

Style wins out in a lot of cases when it comes to video games. Fun gameplay is essential, but for games that really carve out their own world and encapsulate the player in a unique experience, other shortcomings are easier to overlook.…

Hot Lap Racing (PC) – Review

Back once again with the ill on-track behavior, I’m of course covering the racing game being Phenixx Gaming’s unofficial racing correspondent. This time with Zero Games Studio and Maximum Entertainment’s Hot Lap Racing, an arcade racing title that for some reason is…
