During the 8 and 16-bit era, Disney released a number of games that are still considered classics in the medium. Titles such as Ducktales and Aladdin captured the magic of the cartoon and managed to translate it into a wonderful video game. While there has been a stint of mediocrity...
Horizon Forbidden West saw Aloy travel to San Francisco in an epic adventure against the Far Zenith. Burning Shores continues her journey across a rich, post-apocalyptic America as you travel to Hollywood. Guerilla Games opts for a more personal story with this smaller tale, but will this nuanced approach still...
Stray Blade
I don’t envy developers, especially those making a soulslike action game. The competition is enormous, and any game hoping to claim even a small fraction of fan love needs to bring some new ideas and deliver on them. In the case of Stray Blade, developer Point Blank Games is banking...
Over the past few years, Riot Games have given fans new ways to engage with A League of Legends. From the critically acclaimed Netflix series, Arcane, to the wonderful RPG epic, Ruined King, each release offers a new perspective on the world. With the view to venture further afield, the...

In 2020, publisher tinyBuild gave us Kill It With Fire, an arachnid-extermination simulator. It was a bug-squishing good time, and became an instant classic. Now, those creepy crawlies are back but this time in 3D, with Kill It With Fire VR. The jump to virtual reality takes the original fun...

Another year, another impressive baseball game is upon us. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised at this point, but Sony San Diego has again delivered us the best sports simulation on the market. Period. MLB The Show 23 is very much the sum of its parts. Building on an already outstanding...
Terra Nil
Terra Nil is a relaxing strategy game with an optimistic vision. What if it was actually possible to fix a devastated planet? You know, bring back the greenery, the biodiversity, and the animal life? While Earth might require a bit more work, you can at least fix this tiny version...
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is the latest entry in the classic Atelier franchise. This cute, quirky, and surprisingly intense JRPG series has always been at the edge of my radar. So I jumped at the chance to try out this game. I was...
A good roguelike should have charm, challenge, and some sort of drip-fed progress. Have A Nice Death succeeds in two of these areas for sure. Maybe I’ve been forever ruined by Hades, but I’ve come to expect more give-and-take from my roguelikes. Even if it’s an illusion, I want to...
Storyteller
The puzzle genre stretches far and wide. While they all share similarities as they test your mental capacity, they do this in a number of different ways. A new style that has surfaced is the visual puzzler. Games such as Gorogoa and Framed, allow you to piece together images to...
