Pacific Drive (PC) Review

Genre-blending has been the secret sauce for tons of developers in the 2020s so far. It’s great to see such creativity bring about games that could have never existed before, especially after the 2010s brought about a certain monotony in its best-selling…

ROBOBEAT (PC) Review

Two of my favorite gaming genres are rhythm and first-person shooters. A few titles have taken on this blending of genres, in the cases of Metal: Hellsinger and BPM: Bullets Per Minute, both to great acclaim. The central mechanic of doing more damage if…

Blockbuster Inc. (PC) – Review

There is a point at which too much detail might become a burden to you as a player. Similarly, there is a point where too much freedom as a creative feels constraining. Super Sly Fox and Ancient Forge’s Blockbuster Inc. is a…

Pepper Grinder (PC) Review

Devolver Digital has one of the best track records in PC gaming publishing. Whether it’s Inscryption, Cult of the Lamb, Enter the Gungeon, or any of dozens of others of a vast array of titles, you’re bound to find not only a lot of “Overwhelming…

Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR’S CUT (PC) – Review

30-some miles off of the coast of South Korea is the island of Tsushima (対馬), the point of the first Mongol invasion and the setting for Sucker Punch Productions’ 2020 Kurosawa-inspired game. The previous PlayStation 4 exclusive and later PS5 title was released…

Duck Detective: The Secret Salami (PC) – Review

In a dark and smokey room, with coffee stains on every surface and abandoned dreams clouding the air, there is only one duck to solve the case, Eugene McQuacklin. A Noir-esque tale of stolen salami, Happy Broccoli Games’ Duck Detective is a delightful little mystery…

Heading Out (PC) Review

I tend to shy away from games that involve a lot of strategy, but if one of those games has a distinct aesthetic and implements Rogue-like/Rogue-lite elements, then I’m willing to give it a go. That’s exactly the case for Heading Out,…

Surmount (PC) Review

Playing through entire games that hone in on one singular mechanic sounds like a recipe for tedium. However, if done right and with enough variety, it can make for a timeless experience that lives on in the minds of gamers rent-free. In…

The Thaumaturge (PC) Review

I love when RPGs are made in historical settings as opposed to purely fictional ones. I also happen to love it when developers take inspiration from popular franchises and attempt to do something new with them. The Thaumaturge is a blend of…

Rauniot (PC) – Review

Following in the footsteps of the great Finnish developers such as Taneli Armanto for Nokia, Sampo Karjalainen and Aapo Kyrölä on Habbo Hotel, and Karoliina Korppoo as well as everyone at Colossal Order, Act Normal Games brings another delightfully depressing Finnish game, Rauniot. A…
