NHL 26 (Xbox Series X) Review

NHL 26 arrives just one month before the start of the upcoming season. A mainstay in sports video games for years now, the series is always a hit with diehard hockey fans, but will this year’s entry keep casual or moderate players…

NBA 2K26 (Xbox Series X) Review

Reviewing an NBA 2K game is, surprisingly, something I’ve been doing formally for nearly a decade. As a keen consumer of any sports game on the market, NBA 2K has always been the best overall offering, even if I have my own personal preferences.…

Madden NFL 26 (Xbox Series X) Review

Unlike the overall indifference I felt playing EA College Football 26 this year, a lot about Madden NFL 26 feels like a nice step forward. Much of the marketing around this year’s gameplay changes has focused on enabling players to feel like they really pop,…

The Wandering Village (Xbox Series X) Review

We’re in the heart of August as I write this review, and a few things are starting to call to me as summer winds down. I read more this time of year, try new recipes, and always hunt for a sim game…

Monster Hunter Wilds (Xbox Series X) Review

One of the wonderful memories I have of the Wii U, a sentence you don’t read often, was deciding to pick up a game in a franchise I’d never played before but heard much about. Hours and hours later, Monster Hunter 3…

Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X) Review

The Two Point games speak to me on a level above many other management sims. With equal parts zany characters and a detailed building planning simulator, you’re managing everything from hauntings to a monthly ledger. Two Point Studios’ first two games, Two Point…

Planet Coaster 2 (Xbox Series X) Review

Planet Coaster is one of the games I have played the most on the Xbox Series X. As a huge fan of sandbox-style simulation games and evidently a theme park nerd, this series is tailor-made for my niche interests. I also adored…
