Rise of the Ronin (PC) – Review

Before the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Boshin war, and the end of Japan’s Edo Period, Rise of the Ronin highlights a fractured Japan. A country mostly of isolation (ignoring the Japanese Empire and the Meiji Reform), the Bakumatsu period sparked…

A Musical Story (PC) Review

Warning: The subject of this review contains references and depictions of violence, use and abuse of recreational drugs, and other mature themes. Reader discretion is advised. Some games have titles that perfectly describe what you’re in for when you play them. A…

MainFrames (PC) – Review

The platformer is one of the fundamentals of gaming, right up there with shooting and playing tennis. However, Assoupi and The Arcade Crew’s MainFrames is a colorful, “retro” PC aesthetic-inspired platformer where you play as Floppy, a “rogue” adventurous program controlled by…

Infernax (PC) Review

Warning: This review contains depictions and descriptions of pixelated gore, death, and other subjects that might be disturbing. Reader discretion is advised. I tried to review Infernax when it was first released back in early 2022. What quickly stopped that endeavor was…

PGA Tour 2K25 (PC) – Review

Between the 2K PGA Tour games, I think I’ve seen some of the best golfing available. It is too bad that PGA Tour 2K25 (much like its prior titles) doesn’t include the G4D Tour. Nonetheless, 2K has returned two years on from…

Following on from the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man:…

Born of Bread (PC) Review

One of my favorite games of all time is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Generally, I love all of the Paper Mario games though, and the ideas in them make for excellent RPGs. Born of Bread is an Indie love letter to…

Lost Records: Bloom and Rage Part 1 (PC) Review

DONTNOD has had quite the decade since Life is Strange first started dropping episodes in 2015. I’m someone who’s been there from the start, playing episodes the day they came out, loving Life is Strange 2 to the point I awarded a rare 10/10,…

Potion Permit (PC) Review

I’ve found myself reviewing a fair few games as of late that center around crafting potions and/or proving yourself to people who doubt your abilities. Potion Permit rather expertly combines both of these ideas into its central theme. The end result of…
