But, even with this negative, there's not a whole lot that I can say against Solasta: Crown of the Magister. This is a well-designed strategy experience that offers an approachable take on the iconic tabletop game of D&D, and whether you are a fan of D&D or not, the turn-based...
What I will say is that Biomutant absolutely outperformed my prejudicial expectations. This is a game that plays well, looks great, and is built in a world that I wouldn't mind returning to in the future. Yet, when I stack it up against the titans of RPGs that have debuted...
Wrath of the Druids is a similar take on Assassin's Creed Valhalla that is bolstered with some exciting new activities and content. With the base game being as incredible as it is, an expansion that delivers more of what we come to love, except with a Celtic twist makes for...
But, with all this being said, I really enjoyed my time with The Colonists. This is a strategy city-building game that is designed to be easily appreciated by anyone, whether you are an expert or a beginner to the genre. It's adorable and packed with charm, so despite the fact...
With this being said, Quantum League is really a fantastic game. The blend of tight FPS systems with the strategy that comes with its incredible time loop mechanic makes for a competitive shooter experience unlike anything before it. Whether you are a skilled shooter player, or more versed in strategy,...

With all this being said, our time so far with Outriders has been an incredibly fun one. This is a game that is enjoyable, engaging, and rewarding to play at every turn, it's just a few minor issues that stop it from being something truly special. If you have the...
When looking at Dandy Ace as a package deal, there are various high and lows to note. The vast number of cards and enemies provide tons of variety, but the similar level design roots the game in familiarity. The soundtrack and visuals are brilliant, but it can't shake the feeling...
For what it's worth, you won't exactly go wrong spending an evening or an afternoon playing Maquette. This short indie game is packed with charm and it looks incredible, and provided you can overlook the fact that the puzzles aren't exactly ingenious past the first few, it will keep you...
While Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is very much an indie RPG at its core, there is a lot for you to get lost in. The title's storyline is really a by-product to its replayable roguelite dungeon encounters that encourage you to keep repeating them so you can earn Gems...
Even with its fantastic art and sound direction, Cyber Shadow doesn't quite hit all the marks. You can tell this title has been held to an incredibly high standard in a development sense, but there's certain areas that leave me wanting more in the gameplay. I don't mind challenging platformers,...
