S-GAME has knocked it out of the park with this release, and while it’s been a long wait, for me, it was worth it. Phantom Blade Zero delivered on the excitement I felt during those early hands-on sessions, and if you love action games and martial arts flicks, this deserves...
End of Abyss delivers striking visuals, unsettling enemy designs, and an enjoyable scanner mechanic. Its twin-stick controls are a novel idea, but they reinforce the action while the survival horror takes a back seat. Combined with progress-halting bugs and repeated backtracking, it left me wanting to finish rather than keep...
Between the combat, story, soundtrack, and sheer spectacle of it all, Ace Combat 8 delivers exactly the kind of experience I had been waiting years for. It’s easily one of the best games in the series, and I loved damn near every moment of it.
As someone who is a massive fan of mecha, both in anime and gaming form, I pretty much went ballistic when Bandai Namco revealed its upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam title, Gundam Rogue Orbit, during Summer Game Fest 2026. I mean, I was probably one of the loudest, if not the…
We played Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse at PAX West 2026 and came away impressed by Rose Belmont’s combat, responsive movement, and exploration.
Crimson Moon review: a fast, loot-heavy Soulslike roguelike that respects your time. Solid co-op, satisfying combat, but a shaky camera holds it back. Worth $20
Mortal Shell II is a massive step up from the original, delivering stronger Soulslike combat, deeper Shells, and a huge world, despite a frustrating camera.
Our Beast of Reincarnation review covers combat, exploration, performance, and jank in Game Freak's most ambitious game yet. Is it worth $59.99
Echoes of Aincrad gives SAO fans a fresh story, strong weapon customization, and solid performance, but limited exploration and repetitive combat hold it back.
Bluey’s Quest for The Gold Pen is a charming kids game that captures the humor, imagination, and heart of the beloved Bluey series.
Screamer is a fast, chaotic arcade racer that brings back the spirit of the classics with a modern twist. The speed and twin-stick drifting feel fantastic, but aggressive AI and rubberbanding keep it from reaching its full potential.
The Outerhaven’s review of Reanimal finds it to be a dark, atmospheric horror experience that steadily escalates through cryptic storytelling, co-op-focused exploration, and tense chase and boss encounters. Short but impactful, it trades familiarity for discomfort, delivering a haunting experience that lingers well beyond its credits.
