LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 4 – Review

Episode 4 officially marks the halfway point for The Rings of Power. This episode is titled “The Great Wave” and focuses heavily on Numenor. Galadriel petitions the regent Tar-Miriel for aid while Elrond investigates Durin’s secret mining project. Arondir finds himself face…

Cursed to Golf (Switch) Review

Golf is one of the few sports that I actually enjoy in video games. I can’t stand watching real Golf, but something about playing Golf in games is just way too much fun. Cursed to Golf combines Roguelike procedural generation with Golf…

Coromon (Switch) Review

In recent years, the monster-catching genre of games has only grown more prevalent. Pokemon and Digimon set the bar high for a lot of people, and indie developers have consistently tried to capture the magic of those two franchises, to varying degrees…

The Spirit and the Mouse (PC) – Review

It was last November that I got my first look at The Spirit and the Mouse, French-born and Canadian-based developer Alblune’s 3rd-mouse adventure game set in a charming and stereotypically French town. You play Lili, the mouse of course, and all Lili wants to do…

Bayonetta 2 (Switch) Review

With Bayonetta 3 coming in October, I’ve started going back down memory lane, playing through the first two games in the series. I have always loved this franchise, and I’m very excited for Bayonetta’s third outing, with all its multiversal craziness. Let’s…

Doctor Who “Rosa” – Review

Soul Hackers 2 (PS5) Review

I’ve played a lot of RPGs from Atlus over the years. Recently, they have used the success of the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona franchises to start trying some new things narratively and mechanically. Soul Hackers 2 is a game that will…

Chenso Club (PS4) – Review

As I sit obsessed with Vampire Survivors and Rogue Legacy 2, about to start up Hades, I thought, why not add another Rogue-like to my plate? I can’t get enough of this style of game, as the replay value is through the roof and the creativity…

LOTR: The Rings of Power Episode 3 – Review

There is a lot that happens in LOTR: The Rings of Power episode 3. Unfortunately, it still fails at transcending past the realm of mediocrity. This episode is titled “Adar,” and focuses on Arondir as he is made an unwilling slave to…

The Orville: Sympathy for the Devil (Book) – Review

The time travel/historical episodes of Star Trek are very rarely the best of the franchise, and Seth Macfarlane’s Sci-Fi show of the same vein is no exception. The story of Sympathy for the Devil is an interesting one, as season 3 of The Orville was scheduled…
