Star Trek: Lower Decks “Cupid’s Errant Arrow” Review

It’s the one with the Quito! I said it in the first review a few weeks ago now, but Lower Decks is the series for the biggest of Star Trek nerds to enjoy all that is theirs. Similar to what Star Wars fans get with the forty-million series every…

Banner Saga 3 (PC) Retrospective Review

I’m back once again to discuss the final installment in Stoic Studios Nordic inspired tactics series The Banner Saga. If you haven’t already seen my article on The Banner Saga 2 I would encourage you to look it over here. Released in…

Deathloop (PC) – Review

I might have most of the games developed by Arkane: The studio behind the Dishonored series. Specifically, the action-RPG Arx Fatalis, the reboot of the Prey series, and most recently, Deathloop. The newest addition to the French portion of the studio’s catalog is a retro-futuristic disfigured…

A Little to the Left (PC) Review

Over the past year, I’ve had a greater appreciation for relaxing with more calming games. Sometimes, I’d rather play something a little more low-key and chilled out than an action game. A Little to the Left hits a rather specific niche that…

The Devil Wears Prada (Film) – Review

The Final Gambit (Jennifer Lynn Barnes) – Review

For me, capping off a book or a series is a very risky gamble for any author to pull off. While I had my misgivings with some of the direction that The Hawthorne Legacy took, I dove into Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ The Final Gambit with…

Code Vein (PC) Review

Dark Souls and the Soulslike genre is one of which I have a small amount of experience. I’ve ironically played the original Demons’ Souls on PlayStation 3 and about an hour and a half of the first Dark Souls, but that has…

Vampire Survivors (PC) Review

It has been said a few times that nothing is ever truly original anymore and that we’re all just rehashing the same ideas with a fresh coat of paint. While I don’t necessarily agree with that idea, it is rare for a…

Pokémon Scarlet (Switch) Review

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mark the beginning of the ninth generation of the Pokémon franchise and the first truly open-world RPG for the series. I was looking forward to these new entries after the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus in January of…
