The Talos Principle II (PC) Review

The Talos Principle is by far one of the most brain-melting First-Person puzzle games I’ve ever played. Not out of its puzzle difficulty, though it does have some difficult puzzles, but out of the philosophical and psychological topics it covers. What makes…

Blood West (PC) Review

I’m not typically a fan of hard games. After a long day of work, I want to unwind and turn my brain off, so I’m averse to the idea of enduring more struggle. This was unavoidable for me when I was roped…

Doctor Who “Wild Blue Yonder” – Review

Series 4, episode 11? I think the biggest thing to take away from “Wild Blue Yonder” is that it doesn’t feel like a special. It feels like another episode of 10 and Donna, which is a wider criticism I’ve seen of 14…

Like a Dragon Gaiden (PS5) Review

When Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name was announced, I was a little bit confused. After the release of Like a Dragon, it seemed like a weird choice to create an interquel between Yakuza 6 and Like a…

The Smurfs 2: Prisoner of the Green Stone (Switch) Review

I am a huge fan of The Smurfs. Throughout most of my childhood, I enjoyed The Smurfs cartoons, and I am glad that Microids has taken to reviving the IP in game form over the past few years. The Smurfs 2: Prisoner…

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for episode 6 of The Orville’s third season, titled “Twice in a Lifetime” as well as references to previous episodes. So far, The Orville’s third season has delivered repeated heavy-hitting, emotional episodes. At the same time,…

Immortals of Aveum (PC) Review

August was a gigantic month for new games in both quality and quantity. The biggest standout of that month was Baldur’s Gate 3 which demolished all expectations and set up a new standard for RPGs as a whole. During that time, another…

Doctor Who “The Star Beast” – Review

I’m sure Russell won’t try and annoy the perpetually online mob in his first episode back on the twilight of the 60th anniversary. Oh no, I’m forgetting who we’re talking about; the creator of Queer as Folk and It’s a Sin. The anniversary specials…

Haunted House (Switch) Review

As many of you are probably already aware, I love a good Rogue-like. I also love a good chance to explore games for Halloween that aren’t outright Horror-focused. There are so few games in the spooky season lineup that aren’t jumpscare factories…

Last Train Home (PC) Review

Early 20th-century Europe is fascinating. Not only for the many wars, but simply the politics and all that came from it. Formed in 1914, the Czechoslovak Legionnaires had two major roles in history: They were part of the allies/ententes for World War…
