Elden Ring Accessibility First Impressions

I have not been shy about my feelings regarding FromSoftware and its games. The fanbase around games such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne can be (to put it mildly) insufferable. I would also go out on a limb and say that as…

Immortals Fenyx Rising (Switch) Review

Ubisoft’s open-world games usually aren’t terrible. They often have some flaws here or there, but they can usually be depended on for a bit of fun. Immortals Fenyx Rising has some good ideas on paper, and when it came out, I was…

Shantae and the Seven Sirens (PS5) Review

I’m a big fan of the Shantae franchise. Wayforward’s Metroidvania series has consistently provided some of my favorite side-scrolling Metroidvania experiences. They always wind up having interesting mechanics, cool ideas, and a fun story too. Now that Shantae and the Seven Sirens…

A Memoir Blue (Switch) Review

In recent years, I have followed Annapurna Interactive’s work pretty closely. I enjoy a good narrative experience as much as the next person, and Annapurna Interactive has worked with some great developers. They tend to focus on stories that may hit a…

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm (PS4) – Review

This will be the most surprising thing you hear today: this is not a Five Night at Freddy’s clone. I know, I know, but you just gotta believe it. Don’t let the packaging, loading screen, the mascot-based villains, or logo and intro…

Narru The Forgotten Lands Announced for PC and Consoles

I love a good puzzle game. Especially if the puzzle game has a good story or provides an interesting concept. Narru: The Forgotten Lands seems to have that unique hook to it too. DreamStorm Studios’ Narru: The Forgotten Lands will release at…

Trek to Yomi (PC) Review

It was a little over a month ago that I had the chance to play a preview copy of Trek to Yomi. With visuals inspired by the likes of Akira Kurosawa and a story that combines timeless samurai cinema with Japanese mythology,…

Back 4 Blood – Tunnels of Terror DLC (PC) Review

Back 4 Blood was released last October, to the delight of fans of the Left 4 Dead franchise getting a close-as-can-be spiritual successor from the original devs. While the lasting power of this game is certainly in question (with about 3k concurrent players),…

New to Xbox Game Pass – May 2022 Wave 1

If you enjoyed how varied the previous wave of games that came to Xbox Game Pass was, then the first wave for May should make you just as excited. Among this diverse set of titles, there are four that are coming as…

Loot River Now Available on PC and Xbox

While I have been dipping my toes into the world of Elden Ring, I’m not what most people would consider a Soulslike devotee. I’m not a huge fan of the “difficulty for difficulty’s sake” style of gaming, since I find myself more…
