Anima: Gate of Memories I and II Remaster (PC) Review

Anima: Gate of Memories and Anima: The Nameless Chronicles are two games that I always wanted to play and purchase, but never really got around to it. To my surprise, the developers over at Anima Project decided to rebuild and remaster 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…

Once Upon a Katamari (PC) Review

Digimon Story Time Stranger (PC) Review

Most folks in my generation fell into one of two camps: The Digimon camp or the Pokémon camp. I personally was square in the middle, loving both Digimon and Pokémon. As such, I have kept up with both over the years, and…

BALL x PIT (PC) Review

Anytime Devolver Digital presents a new game, I’m keen for it. Seemingly impossible to miss, their publishing catalog is chock full of brilliant ideas that have captivated me and reignited my love for gaming. Mash that with my immense love for roguelites,…

HYKE:Northern Light(s) (PC) Review

As the gaming industry trends more and more toward high-fidelity graphics and breakneck gameplay, the reign of pixel design and the heyday of 2D adventure games feel far away. That said, a ton of developers are still putting out games we would…
