MyCareer has a “podcast” that rambles on every time you’re in a menu, and it’s terrible. It feels like at most points this game had a shoestring budget, either that or John McEnroe’s “TopSpin Academy” voiceover ate it all up. He’ll walk you through the basics of the sport and...
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a triumphant debut for Surgent Studios. At $20, and available on day one for PlayStation+ subscribers, any fan of the action-platformer genre would do well to check it out. Zau’s journey through loss will stick with me for a long time, and the excellent gameplay...
The music isn’t memorable nor is it ever in the way. It’s a game I routinely had the sound turned down for as it was my go-to chill out as I listened to The Dollop or watched a Jaboody stream, title. It’s pleasant sounding musak that fits the vibe. I...
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is an occasionally pretty, decently fun title. It’s not too long, and if you’re into collecting things there’s a solid reason to replay each chapter. I’m not sure when it is going to hit Xbox but if you have even a decent PC and love stealth platformers...
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a fantastic video game. It improves on every facet of the first title. An excellent main quest is paired with Capcom’s best English VO and some incredible emergent combat. It’s fully approachable if you’ve never given the first one a go, and any Action RPG fan...
I did run into a few issues with the Series X version of the game. I had it crash on me every single time I transitioned from Chapter 1 to 2, no matter who I was playing as unless I skipped the cutscene. It was repeatable every time and during...

Bug wise I had so damned many issues. When a game runs this poorly it shouldn’t be a shock but the amount of times I got stuck in the environment for a fairly long amount of time before the game realized it was in the dozens. When this happens, it...
WWE 2K24
The voice acting during the MyRise segments is fine for what it is. William Regal is your mentor, depending on how you choose to go and I could see myself playing it through. I never felt turned off by any part of the game, and even the tougher matches weren’t...
Sound-wise the game has a bunch of generic guitar riffs that are a series staple. It’s inoffensive during the menu screens and the main sounds you’ll have in-gameplay are your engines mixed with a bit of wilderness ambiance. The biggest issue I had by far on both PC and Xbox...
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remastered is a remaster done right. Its main issue is the game it is remastering doesn’t hold up to modern titles well enough. If you have that itch to dive back in and the $30 price isn’t too much then it is well worth the price. ...
Balatro
Accompanying all of this is a gorgeous art style. It’s not pushing any boundaries, and I could see this game running on a ten-year-old phone with little issue. Still, it looks and sounds great. There isn’t a wide variety of music in Balatro. Thankfully the main song is relaxing and...
