Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe Review

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land was a 2011 Nintendo Wii release that many look back on fondly. While the traditional Kirby platforming was included in the main storyline, 4-player co-op modes and minigames akin to Mario Party really stole the show. In its remastered…

Redemption Reapers (Switch) Review

Over the past few years, the Turn-based Tactical Strategy genre has seen a resurgence. Between Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Fire Emblem Engage, Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and other recent releases, fans of the long-dormant genre have had a lot to enjoy.…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “We’ll Always Have Tom Paris” – Review

A simple question that popped into my head last week (as I write this) that seems pertinent to mention is, “why aren’t we reviewing Picard instead of Lower Deck‘s second season?” Did you watch Picard‘s first two seasons without the rose-tinted specs? Though it seems…

Seven Doors (Switch) Review

I love a good puzzle game as much as the next guy. Games like The Room, mixing escape room and puzzle elements, always catch my attention. Seven Rooms seems like a great idea on paper, but after spending some time with it,…

Comic Book Corner: The Mice Templar Part 1

I’m back at it with another comic review. This week I’m going back once again to the indie publishing scene with Image Comics’ Mice Templar. This series is written by Brian J. Glass. The first volume features art from co-creator Michael Avon…

Grim Guardians: Demon Purge (Switch) Review

I love a good Platformer or Metroidvania as much as the next guy. In fact, I would argue that the Metroidvania genre is one of my favorite styles of game to play. When I heard that Inti Creates (developers of Azure Striker…

Scars Above (PC) – Review

I always find it interesting when I don’t hear anything about a game, get it for review, then suddenly social media and every webpage is bombarded with ads for the thing. That’s the case with Mad Head Games and Prime Matter’s Scars Above,…

Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters (PS5) Review

When someone mentions Idea Factory, I immediately think of the Neptunia franchise. While most people would disregard it as a simple fanservice-focused JRPG knockoff, the franchise has some serious humor and solid gameplay behind it. Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters continues the tradition…

Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition (PC) Review

Definitive editions of games are often done around major milestones or anticipated changes that come to the game. The reasoning for this definitive edition is two-fold. The first is that the game is finally being released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Kayshon, His Eyes Open” – Review

This week is the one with Jet, though not the Jet that men from the 90s continue to think about as they go to bed at night. With Bradward off on heavily serialized battles with a bunch of complex characters which always…
