Latest Reviews
Nobody Saves the World was a bit of a disappointment for me. Coming from the Canadian developer Drinkbox Studios, I was excited for this title after playing their fantastic Guacamelee series. As they do with each of their projects, Nobody Saves the World is a new genre for the studio,...
Headland
Headland is a game based in an imaginary world with numerous different islands to visit and secret paths to discover. The gameplay and storyline isn’t overly ambitious and challenging for players, allowing one to truly enjoy the action adventure game without many obstacles. Though it seems to be marketed towards...
After bouncing off many earlier Monster Hunter games, I fell in love with the series thanks to Monster Hunter World. It had a short but engaging campaign that onboarded me into the game’s arcane mechanics. It had fantastic production values and sharp graphics. Whether on PC or console, Monster Hunter...
God of War
When God of War came out, it was one of the biggest releases of the year. Nearly every news outlet put it in contention for best game of 2018. It won many of these nominations, including the Game Awards title. It was a huge console-selling exclusive for the PlayStation 4,...
The Gunk
The Gunk is a difficult game to talk about. It’s not hard to describe, and it isn’t shocking or disturbing. It won’t make you rethink your life choices. It’s not even a particularly bad game. But it’s also not a particularly good game, either. It’s like one of those totally...
Riot is swinging for the fences these days. While Arcane is impeccable, and Ruined King a worthwhile RPG worthy of your time. Hextech Mayhem is an enjoyable slice of platforming when you want to turn your brain off and test out how well you can time a beat.

White Shadows
Certain games strive to do more than simply entertain. Some look to tell an emotional story, while others may try to communicate a politically charged message. Whether implicit or explicit, societal themes are becoming more prominent in video games. White Shadows has straightforward subject matter that permeates throughout but will...
Halo Infinite
Halo fans, myself included, have eagerly and sometimes impatiently awaited the arrival of Halo Infinite. 343 have finally delivered the follow-up to Halo 5: Guardians more than six years later. At this point, many are relatively aware of the immense, time-consuming challenges development studios face when creating massive AAA projects....
I’ve never seen a single episode of any Gundam show. I’ve also never seen a Code Geass. And when I saw a game called Super Robot Wars 30, I worried that I’d have to catch up on the previous 29 games. Turns out, that’s not the case. Super Robot Wars...
Encodya
There are a great selection of point-and-click adventures with fantastic stories on the market, and now, Chaosmonger Studio’s ENCODYA is reaching out to widen audiences with its release on console. Originally released back in January 2021 on PC, players will be whisked away on a cyberpunk-themed journey on the PS4/PS5,...
As I sit to write the review for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition (GTA: DE), I can’t help but be reminded of Vito Corleone, lamenting over the massacre of his boy in Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘The Godfather.’ I think many like-minded 30-somethings that grew up with Grand...
