Astro Bot
And yet after 15 or so hours doing damn near everything there is to do in it, I have been left feeling somewhat hollow. Melancholic for times I wasn’t even alive for. There are games mentioned in Astro Bot you cannot play on a modern system. They are stranded on...
Persona 5 Tactica
Persona 5 Tactica might be smaller than a mainline game, but it packs no less of a punch. Its story has something important to say and speaks its mind in an impressively cohesive manner. It doesn’t seek to tackle as many issues as Persona 5 but what it does charge...
Alan Wake II
After 13 long years, Alan Wake has finally escaped The Dark Place. Was the wait worth it? And is Saga Anderson’s case to solve the many mysteries of Bright Falls a worthwhile one? Lex Luddy reviews Alan Wake 2.

Dreamscaper
As it stands Dreamscaper is a chill game that is easy to sink more time into than you’d expect from something that just hit Early Access. Despite some rough edges, it holds its own against other big name rogue-lite ARPGs like, the soon to be released, Hades, and there is...
Disintegration
The developer showing off the game was quick to point out that this is both a small team and an alpha build. They are very proud of the current state of the game and rightly so, it could be part of an Unreal Engine demo reel. This game looks like...
