What a long time coming for highly anticipated indie. I remember being absolutely blown away by its pixel art during Xbox’s showcase back in 2021, I was hyped and eagerly awaiting its arrival every year. Equally bummed each time it didn’t show back up or there was a delay, but...
This year I made a promise to myself that I would start trying out some games that aren’t normally in my wheelhouse. Trying to broaden my horizons a bid to appreciate more of the gaming world and have a less closed off mentality to styles I wouldn’t usually immediately go...
*Editors Note: “After review I did a bit more research on the PS4 version of Kena: Bridge of Spirits on PS5 and it does use PS5’s Game Boost, however, that only stabilizes the 30fps framerate. Version Limitation: While it runs better, it remains the PS4 version, meaning it lacks the...
It’s interesting going back and looking at Saber Interactive’s catalog of games and the variety of things they have made. Vehicle based games like the Mudrunner series, first person shooters like Insurgency: Sandstorm, third person shooters like the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine games, co-op focused games like Painkiller, to even a VR Exploding Kittens game. They...
I’m going to preface this review by saying this is my first ever Suda51 game. I’m setting that bar right away because you’re going to see a lot of flabbers being gasted. There were long periods of this game where my jaw was just hanging there as I wondered what...
Nioh 3
Team Ninja has really been on a roll lately. With the releases of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, and while not directly developing Ninja Gaiden 4, they still were involved and advisors during development. Team Ninja games have always stood out with their great style, designs, combat and the Nioh series has been...
What a time it is to be a ninja fan, with the fantastic Ninja Gaiden 2 Black earlier this year and the resurrection of 2D Ninja Gaiden with Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. There is also the fantastic looking Ninja Gaiden 4 in a month, but in between that just launched one of the best...
I’d like to preface this review by saying I did not play College Football 25. Hell, I’m not even a big college football fan. I enjoy the sport a lot, but I really only follow the NFL and play the Madden games. My first thought with seeing College Football 26...
HB Studios is back again after another two year hiatus with their next iteration, PGA Tour 2K25, and I have to say, I like these year long breaks in-between. It allows the developers more time to implement bigger and better things, and as a player it doesn’t burn me out....
Earlier this year my wife and I took our kids to their very first Monster Jam show and they absolutely loved it. I haven’t been to a Monster Jam show since I was a child, so I was just as excited as my kids to be there. As soon as...
There has been a large resurgence of metroidvania’s lately, and to be honest, I’m here for it. We’ve been getting fantastic games like Blasphemous 2, Metroid Dread, Ender Lilies, and even larger publishers are getting in on it with the recent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Now EA is stepping up to...
It still feels unreal that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is actually here and I’m reviewing it. It’s been twelve years since the original came out, and it seemed like Capcom had no interest in revisiting the IP, despite it being such a cult classic. I thought that I’d never see the...
