Calico
The worst thing I can say about Calico is that it’s undeveloped. While the entire experience can be described as relaxing, running the cat café isn’t all that interesting and most of the tasks you’ll complete for island residents boil down to the same two or three objective types. Anytime...
Though her visit to this island paradise was over long before I wanted it to be, it was a trip I am happy I was able to take. It’s the type of experience that can restore one’s vigor and effect change in us long after we’ve watched the credits roll....
I really can’t say anything overly negative about Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise because, despite the issues it has, it will produce results if you keep at it. And that’s the ultimate goal when buying an exercise game. But at $50, you really have to ask yourself if it...
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond is a weird game in that it feels like it should have come out several years before it actually arrived. It’s stuck in time. It’s easy to appreciate the budget that went into making it look the way it does, and I hope Respawn...
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is a victim of bloat, but you can choose to ignore a lot of it and take in the sights. That’s where Night City is at its best, and I sincerely suggest that you take your time going through it, as rushing will only lead to disappointment. Even...
If the writers weren’t so eager to spoil their own surprises, I think we’d be looking at one outstanding narrative-driven adventure here. As it is, Call of the Sea is a pleasing piece of pulp fiction and a decent test of your puzzle-solving skills.
Worms Rumble
This review is on the short side because there isn’t a whole lot to Worms Rumble as is. You queue up for your mode of choice (which will probably be battle royale solo queue more often than not), you try your best to rank, unlock a few cosmetics you may or...
Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Twin Mirror is the rare game where I love the world, premise, and characters, but can’t actually professionally recommend it. The foundation was laid, but a good story needs more than just the building blocks. In hindsight, following Life is Strange‘s episodic model might’ve worked...
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands hasn’t quite wowed me in the way that Legion did, but it’s an improvement upon many concepts from Battle for Azeroth. There’s a clearer story that seems to have more embedded bones, with a more pronounced set of zones that stand on their own. As always long-term...
It’s a shame this had to be $70 out of the gate on PS5 (it’s $59.99 on PC) and that it has to be tethered to an always-online system. Whoever made that decision doomed this project’s reputation, at least in the short term. Godfall is going to go down as one of...
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity brings some of the same “Warriors” baggage along with it, but as someone who was always into these Omega Force romps, the juice was worth the squeeze. The story was genuinely enthralling throughout and it serves as a great companion piece for Breath of the...
There’s something so magical about the way Overcooked mixes simple cooking instructions with frantic stage hazards that require verbal check-ins between co-op players. I can’t get enough. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve beaten these games, and it’s a testament to their design that they still hold up...
