Prime Gaming – April 2022

Well, after a week of last year’s Prime Gaming article sitting high on our top articles section, I can finally disappoint with some ok games included as part of this April’s dump. Oddly enough I’ll have something to say about the “in-game loot”…

Unpacking is Getting a PlayStation Release!

Unpacking was definitely an indie darling in the Phenixx Gaming virtual office last year. Lisa, Keiran, and I (along with a few others) really found ourselves enjoying the heartfelt (and lowkey) experience that Unpacking offered. Now it seems that PlayStation users will…

How Elden Ring Reminded Me of My Love for Gaming

I have been a lifelong gamer. When I was younger I remember playing Super Mario World on my Super Nintendo, Kid Chameleon on a Sega Genesis, and beating up Bowser in Mario 64 when I would visit my friend’s home. Games have been part of my life…

Young Souls (Switch) Review

There are some games that try to mash the best parts of other genres together. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they don’t. Young Souls succeeds in some areas but fails in others. It has some great ideas, but also some frustrating elements.…

On WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Classic

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect to write an article like this at some point or another. After Blizzard finally acquiesced to the desires of World of Warcraft’s player base by producing World of Warcraft Classic and The Burning…

Dorfromantik Gets Full Release Date

I mentioned it a few times last year. I love chill, relaxing City Builders. Specifically, games like Dorfromantik, which allow you to stretch your creative muscles in a relaxing, low-stress environment. After a successful Early-Access period, there’s finally a full release date…
