Latest Reviews
Grounded 2
In its current state in early access, Grounded 2 appears to be an across-the-board improvement over the original, adding new combat features, simpler core gameplay, mounts and more to an already promising setting.
Mafia: The Old Country
A game with competent, generic gameplay and storytelling that doesn’t overstay its welcome, marred by the odd design choice and technical issues.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a sprawling game for better and for worse. It has a lot to like: story, art design, and environment-wise. But it comes with a lot of combat caveats and an upgrade and progression system that just doesn’t know when to stop expanding and complicating things.
Shadow Labyrinth
Shadow Labyrinth is an intriguing and enjoyable take on the Pac-Man franchise. There is a solid Metroidvania there with it, but some design choices hold it back from being a truly great game.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is a sequel that fulfils all the promises of the first game and smooths out the many rough edges the first entry suffered from.
Dune: Awakening
A well-presented story and atmosphere that nails the vibes of Dune, but janky combat and a massive tonal shift in the endgame hurt this experience a little.

The Alters is an incredible concept that works by crafting an enticing gameplay hook of cloning yourself and changing the events of your life, while marrying it with a set of engaging and engrossing systems and mechanics to keep your team of alters alive as you traverse an alien world....

Blades of Fire
Blades of Fire adds a unique twist to the action RPG formula with new inventive mechanics that reward long-term investment with hugely enjoyable combat and a compelling story to boot.
Doom: The Dark Ages
In lesser hands, The Dark Ages would be fun but forgettable. In Id’s hands, this is a deep action experience solely focused on a relentless, but brilliantly controlled flow state. It’s a game that takes the simplest, yet coolest ideas and commits completely to them with peerless execution, making sure...
Clair Obscur feels big, it feels important, it feels like a game for now, that you’ll be thinking about for years to come. Expedition 33 might be built off of the groundwork laid by decades of creatives that came before, but its impact is wholly singular and essential in its...
Atomfall
If you’re looking for something to get lost in for a little bit, Rebellion has offered up a mostly pleasant jaunt. Especially as something to pick up and play on Game Pass, it’s easy to recommend trying. That’s good too, Atomfall works better as a cheap, last-minute package weekend to...
