Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut (Switch) Review

There’s a fun challenge to games that feature a variety of endings a player can earn. The key for those motivated by more than simply reaching completionist status is the fun factor of the game. XSEED is a favorite developer of mine,…

The Expanse: A Telltale Series Episode I (PS5) Review

Telltale and I go way back: back to when I got my first gaming PC more than a decade ago. One of the first five games I purchased was The Walking Dead Season One. Up to that point, I didn’t care what…

Noob – The Factionless (Switch) Review

2023 seems to be shaping up to be a year where I am consistently surprised by the Indie gaming scene. Sometimes, attempts to bring popular international properties into the gaming space don’t go well, such as the Asterix and Obelix games. However,…

Turbo Overkill (PC) Review

When you can start a review by saying the game made you feel like the phrase “[expletive] you, the horse you rode in on, and all that came with you!” I think it might be giving the carrot before the stick. I…

Viewfinder (PS5) Review

Since the release of Portal, there have been a lot of First-Person Puzzle games that have been released to various levels of success. Games like Manifold Garden, The Entropy Centre, The Turing Test, Superliminal, and other similar games have all tried to…

Lakeburg Legacies (PC) Review

When the premise of Lakeburg Legacies was introduced, I knew I had to get my hands on it. While strategy games tend to be an involved timesink, I was willing to give my full attention to one where the foundation of success relied on…

Hammer of Virtue (PC) Review

Hammer of Virtue isn’t normal when it comes to the convention of modern-day games, nor would I say is the Just Cause series. Both aim for style over substance but I’d also liken No Pest Productions’ latest title to the Earth Defense Force series. This is…
