Kingdoms of the Dump (PC) Review

I am always looking for a solid Indie RPG. Something that evokes the classics but doesn’t try too hard. That is actually a fairly rare occurrence, with games like Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars coming to mind. However, now I have…

Ugly Betty “The Box and the Bunny” – Review

So the show begins properly now. Once again written by showrunner Silvio Horta, and edited by Queen of the South showrunner, as well as season 1 writer and script editor, Dailyn Rodriguez. Directed by Sheree Folkson in her only directorial work for…

Marvel Cosmic Invasion (PC) Review

Despite the fact that it has fallen out of fashion, I love Marvel and the characters of the Marvel Universe. So, when I saw that Dotemu was doing a beat-em-up in the style of Shredder’s Revenge (and old Arcade classics), I was…

Million Depth (PC) Review

I have no depth perception whatsoever, and yet I’m still able to perceive (and enjoy) Million Depth. That may be one of life’s greatest mysteries. Anyway, Million Depth is a post-apocalyptic, “deep diving” roguelike in which humanity has destroyed the surface of…

Night Swarm (PC) Review

A YouTube comment on the Night Swarm official announcement trailer summed things up concisely: “It’s an indie game in 2025, check inside, it’s a roguelite with survivor elements.” Be that as it may, I still find myself addicted and wanting to review the majority…

MotionRec (PC) Review

Ordinarily, I might make a pun about how I’m going through the “motions” of writing another review, if I weren’t so pleased with my subject today. What we’ve got here is MotionRec, a delightful puzzle game from developer Handsum (not sure if…

Ugly Betty “Pilot” – Review

US adaptations are always a struggle, just look at the difference between seasons 1 and 2 of The Office. Written by the showrunner and the guy who developed the show into this adaptation, Silvio Horta, I’d be pressed to say Horta saw…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (Campaign) Review

In a lot of ways, following up Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 with another entry in the sub-series is risky. Following Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, all eyes were on BO6, and it delivered on many fronts. Mainly, a stellar campaign…

Demonschool (Nintendo Switch) Review

As someone who was drawn to the trailer for Demonschool by the promise of a tactics RPG that certainly seemed heavily inspired by Persona, I can’t help but feel misled. Luckily, there’s not a single part of me that feels like I was cheated…

Cross Blitz (PC) Review

I have followed Cross Blitz’s development since it came to Early Access back in 2023. I love a good deckbuilding game, and one set against a lush backdrop of colorful characters is even better. Cross Blitz is a fine Deckbuilder as it…
