Writing For
Latest Reviews
SiN Reloaded is a solid remaster of a stupid, but good, game.
Theropods is more interesting than it is great, but it’s still not a bad point-and-click.
There are good ideas buried somewhere in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, but the lack of content and technical polish make it feel like it needed another tour in development.
Lou’s Lagoon borrows plenty from other games, but works because it lets you chill out and fly a seaplane.
Starship Troopers: The Eradicators is more Starship Troopers: Terran Command, and for existing fans, that's reason enough to enlist again.
Outbound offers plenty of pretty vistas to virtually photograph, but very little in the way of meaningful gameplay.
Docked
Docked is a fairly decent simulator, but it ultimately lacks anything to make it interesting for those outside its niche.
Aether & Iron may be blunt and occasionally cliché, but its phenomenal writing makes it one of the strongest Disco-likes yet.
Esoteric Ebb borrows liberally from Disco Elysium, and both because of and in spite of that, it’s one of the finest CRPGs ever made.
I Hate This Place is a fun horror-lite game that’s rarely startling, but always enjoyable.
UNBEATABLE is far from a perfect game, but it excels in the areas that are important.
Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord - War Sails, while a decent expansion in its own right, doesn’t add enough content to justify its lofty price.
