Chorus (PC) Review

There’s just something about space combat that feels more intense, immersive, and fun than any other form of combat for me. The pace can’t be matched, the back-and-forth struggle is prolonged, and the tide can turn in mere milliseconds thanks to a…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Much Ado About Boimler” – Review

You see, all I’m really looking for with Lower Decks is character and comedy, and “Much Ado About Boimler” gets that reasonably well. Written by M (or Emei) Willis, who previously wrote for She-ra and some stuff you’ve never heard of (or care for), we…

Comic Book Corner – Mister Miracle

As promised I’m back taking a look at another series from DC comics. Written by Tom King, Mister Miracle is a 12-issue run that was originally published in 2017. Illustration was helmed by Mitch Gerads. It’s another series often viewed as some…

Comic Book Corner – Kingdom Come

It’s been a little while but I’m back once again with another comic review. Typically, I like to keep this series focused on more independent works. However, there are still a few books I’d like to spotlight from the big two publishers.…

Chained Echoes (Switch) Review

Over the years I have played a lot of Indie-developed RPGs. Most of them try to capture the magic of JRPG classics such as Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, or other classic franchises. However, many of them tend to fall short of…

Star Trek: Lower Decks “Terminal Provocations” Review

Ahh the episode with a small focus on my favorite group of terrorists, it must be former Survivor winner Cochran’s “Terminal Provocations.” If there is a bit of a dip in season 1 of Lower Decks, “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” and “Terminal Provocations” are where it…

Cold Prey (Film) Review

Warning: The following review contains spoilers for the film Cold Prey, reader discretion is advised. Even though it’s after the highs of Halloween, the winter season shouldn’t be an afterthought for horror. Sure, there’s a sort of post-pumpkin malaise that can’t help…

Duelyst II (PC) Review

If I had to pick out a few of my favorite gaming genres to play, both tactics and card games would easily be near the top. Duelyst is a game that combines parts of these two genres together into one exciting package.…

Gross (PC) – Review

Instantly, with a name like Gross and the art style of choice, you’d think the tower defense FPS title would intend to shock and horrify you with disgusting metaphors based around poo. A bit like The Binding of Isacc but with an almost voxel-style art…

Valkyrie Elysium (PC) Review

2022 saw the release of a lot of lesser-known RPGs in its latter half that piqued my interest, including Soul Hackers 2 and Star Ocean: The Divine Force. Another one on my radar was Valkyrie Elysium, which hooked me with the premise of playing a…
