Inner Ashes (Switch) Review

Walking Simulators can be hit-or-miss. Sometimes mechanical problems can cause a strong narrative to be bogged down or even missed entirely. In the case of Inner Ashes, a profound story is present, but a few issues keep it from being a great…

Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed Director’s Cut (Switch) Review

There’s a fun challenge to games that feature a variety of endings a player can earn. The key for those motivated by more than simply reaching completionist status is the fun factor of the game. XSEED is a favorite developer of mine,…

Noob – The Factionless (Switch) Review

2023 seems to be shaping up to be a year where I am consistently surprised by the Indie gaming scene. Sometimes, attempts to bring popular international properties into the gaming space don’t go well, such as the Asterix and Obelix games. However,…

Earlier this year it was revealed that Granblue Fantasy Versus would be receiving a closely-named sequel, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. Since then there have been multiple character reveals and even an open beta that was held a couple of weeks ago. The…

Mortal Kombat 1: Reptile and More Revealed

This week at EVO, NetherRealm Studios unveiled three fighters who will be joining the fight this September. Headlining this newest reveal trailer was the fan favorite Reptile. I’m excited to see that this character has received a complete overhaul in terms of…

Hammer of Virtue (PC) Review

Hammer of Virtue isn’t normal when it comes to the convention of modern-day games, nor would I say is the Just Cause series. Both aim for style over substance but I’d also liken No Pest Productions’ latest title to the Earth Defense Force series. This is…
