Wavetale (PS5) Review
Sometimes I feel bad for developers that release games late in the year. Most of the time by December you’ve already got your Game of the Year picked out, and you’ve already blown your game budget on a sale of some sort.…

Hello Neighbor 2 (PC) Review
When I first arrived at PAX East 2022, there was quite a bit to look at! However, there was one area that stood out amongst all the others and beckoned everyone towards it with its flashy colors and lights. This area was…
IXION (PC) – Review
You know, games with strange title names should come with a pronunciation guide. Is it I-Xion or Ic-se-ion? I don’t think that is what the little people whose lives I had in my hands cared about when it came to their inevitable…
Ship of Fools (PS5) Review
When I think of roguelites, I typically gravitate toward action-oriented affairs. It’s been ages since I’ve given one in the realm of FTL: Faster Than Light a try, though. With an even tougher difficulty than usual for the genre and a serious urgency…

The Left 4 Dead formula didn’t exactly take the world by storm in the 2010s, as it’s so hard to get right. Developers Fatshark found the winning combination when they released Warhammer 40K: Vermintide, placing the player directly into the Warhammer universe and pitting them…
Persona 5 Royal (Switch) Review
The Persona franchise is quite easily one of my favorite RPG franchises of all time. Each game covers a powerful theme, and the mechanics and characters always make for an engaging experience. Now that Persona 5 Royal (and soon Persona 3 and…
Togges (Switch) Review
I like a good 3D platformer as much as the next person. I grew up in the age of Spyro the Dragon, Donkey Kong 64, and other platforming classics. I also love games that are a little on the weird side. Sadly,…
