Nivalis delayed again, to 2026

Well, I wanted to be talking about Nivalis as excitedly (if not more) than I have about PowerWash Sim 2 or generally speaking (because I can’t give a review yet) on FM26; however, the latest update on development put pay to that.…

Assetto Corsa Rally and early access release announced

It is kind of funny that I sat and watched Stefano Mordini’s Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia the other day. I mean, it isn’t a great film and if you’re looking for reality, just watch Clarkson’s bit from The Grand Tour,…

While I am awful at it, the original Ghostrunner caught my attention due to its cyberpunk aesthetic and visceral action. The sequel took that idea and ran with it, incorporating new ideas and interesting concepts. Now it seems that the developers have…

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Switch) Review

One of my favorite RPG franchises of all time also happens to be a franchise most people don’t know about. Konami’s Suikoden franchise wove masterful storytelling with solid RPG mechanics. Now, many years later, Yoshitaka Murayama (the franchise creator) has moved on…

Remedy Entertainment Purchases Control IP Rights

Control is one of my favorite games of all time. I could talk for hours about how Remedy Entertainment perfectly executed the worldbuilding and set up a world endlessly ripe for exploration in the future. To my excitement, the future seems bright…

Puzzle Quest 3 Heading to Consoles

It’s hard to break through the mobile game marketplace when there are hundreds of games released every day. Publisher 505 Games is a steady name in the space, however, thanks to massive franchises like Puzzle Quest. A mix of RPG elements and puzzle-matching…
