Two Point Museum (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

Two Point Museum was one of my gaming highlights earlier this year upon its initial release. Since then, I’ve revisited the game in spurts and sessions when I was feeling that itch for the unique and zany world of Two Point games. Now, the…

Football Manager 26 (PC) – Review

The trouble with reinventing the wheel from scratch after you’ve already perfected it is the simple fact that most people like a smooth ride. Football Manager 26 is one of those moments where the wheel is being reinvented, coming two years following…

Absolum (PC) Review

I’ve played Rogue-lites that have mixed with several other genres, whether it be ARPGs, deckbuilders, or even brick breakers. But one genre that has seemingly gone untapped is the beat-em-up. Quarter-munchers from back in the day have seen continued success in the…

SNW “What Is Starfleet?” – Review

Military, we’ve established this before, and I don’t just mean in Lower Decks. Directed by Sharon Lewis, who sadly is best known for reality TV peddled as documentarian stuff: Restaurant Makeover, World’s Worst Mom, Property Brothers, TVO Kids show It’s My Party!…

Once Upon a Katamari (PC) Review

The Katamari games always hit the right mix of fun, chill, and weird for me. I’ve played all of them so far, and each one adds a bit of goofy fun to the mix. Once Upon a Katamari may not reinvent the…

Little Nightmares 3 (Nintendo Switch 2) Review

The Little Nightmares franchise is not necessarily a genre-defining, all-time triumph in either platformers or horror games. That said, the desire for a third game in the series was strong enough that, despite the original developers wanting to move on to new things,…

Twinkleby (PC) Review

Thanks to the ever-evolving (or devolving, depending on how you look at it) horrors of daily society, cozy gaming has become an increasingly integral part of my gaming life. Things that I can simply relax with have become more enjoyable for me…

Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club (Nintendo Switch) Review

Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club has something going for it that almost every other game does not. Snoopy is in it. The pop culture icon has seen a resurgence with Gen-Z, including collaborations with The Red Cross for blood drive merch, a…
