ArcRunner (PS5) Review
The majority of my time with roguelites is spent with hidden gems on Steam that are the result of tons of hours searching high and low. So it’s a departure to see a game from this platform make enough of a splash…

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5) Review
Like a Dragon (known also as Yakuza 7) was easily one of my favorite “Yakuza” games. It also happened to be a high point on my list of favorite RPGs of all time. With Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, I had very…
Warhammer 40K: Shootas, Blood & Teef (PS5) Review
We’ve covered all manners of the Warhammer 40K universe in gaming here at Phenixx Gaming, whether it be Warhammer 40K: Boltgun which hits Xbox Game Pass this month, or the expansive Warhammer 40K: Darktide, which is still going strong. One release that slipped past my mind…
Trinity Fusion (PS5) Review
As we’ve covered many Rogue-lites in the past, one such genre fusion I tend to shy away from is Metroidvania. While I find this meshing to be the most reliant upon RNG and brute forcing through some areas ignoring enemies to survive…
Tchia (PS5) Review
Tchia was a game we had our eye keenly on a year ago. An open-world adventure game based on the small archipelago of New Caledonia off the coast of Australia, it’s an homage and tribute to the area as much as it is…

I have loved the Prince of Persia franchise ever since I played The Sands of Time back in 2003 on the Nintendo GameCube. Something about the world, the time mechanics, and the platforming in the original captivated me, and I have been…
Raccoo Venture (PS5) Review
One genre of game I’ll never tire of is the 3D platformer. It may be the nostalgia talking, but growing up with Super Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie, and getting modern greats like A Hat in Time and Spark the Electric Jester prove that running and…
Like a Dragon Gaiden (PS5) Review
When Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name was announced, I was a little bit confused. After the release of Like a Dragon, it seemed like a weird choice to create an interquel between Yakuza 6 and Like a…
Monochrome Mobius (PlayStation 5) Review
I’ve always been a sucker for a unique RPG. Surprisingly though, even I can be shocked by the wild titles and concepts developers come up with. Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Utawarerumono visual novel franchise…
Mineko’s Night Market (PS5) Review
Game development is a tall task, and sometimes games can take an immeasurable amount of time to release. Whether it be development hell or a developer who wants to see their vision fully realized, players can wait years upon years for a…
