However, that brilliance comes with a specific entry fee. The game’s insistence on fighting game execution standards can lead to moments of frustration amidst the roguelite chaos, and the dense, unexplained lore may leave newcomers feeling like outsiders at a private party. If you are willing to look past the...
Nioh 3
While Nioh 3 was a very big learning curve, with lots of different stats and combos to keep track of. I’m not going to tell you how long some of the bosses took me, but once I had it semi-figured out, it was fantastic fun.
Cairn
However, if there’s anything to take away from this review, it’s the deep emotion connection I felt during and after the climb. I felt frustration, happiness, sadness, despair, relief, and guilt. For a mostly solitary and quiet game about climbing a mountain, I learned much about myself. I may be...
It took me roughly 9 hours to uncover the truth of I Hate This Place. The story, aesthetics, sound design (minus the VA), and combat were awesome. In fact, everything apart from the crafting was fantastic, making I Hate This Place well worth your time. Just don’t expect too much...
Play it if you want a gorgeous, systems forward JRPG where every fight is a small tactical performance. Approach cautiously if you’re primarily here for a tightly paced, continuously escalating story.
I had zero performance issues during my 9ish hours it took me to get through the main story of Woolhaven and I felt like there was a lot more to uncover. It’s not a big departure gameplay wise from the base game, but the new enemies, bosses and the addition...
Cassette Boy
In much the same way FEZ once did, Cassette Boy reminded me that perspective is not just a mechanical trick, but a way of thinking. By asking the player to actively look at the world differently, to question what exists, what doesn’t, and why, it creates moments of quiet wonder...
Hungry Horrors
Hungry Horrors was reviewed on Steam. We’d like to thank Clumsy Bear Studio for providing a code for purpose of this review. Hungry Horrors will release to early access on January 19, 2026 on Steam.
Code Violet
Teamkill Media’s 2nd game in 3 years made by 4 people, leaves much to be desired. It’s a near full priced game on a closed platform like the PlayStation 5. Code Violet is a game that boasts player urgency, discovery, and the appreciation of a strong and beautiful female lead....
While its tight controls and emergent mechanics create a strong and satisfying blend of 3D platforming and involved, reactive game design, Big Hops’ structure feels at odds with itself. Its narrative focus limits the scope of its open-ended ambitions, resulting in an experience that makes some hops that are certainly...
Death Howl is a tough, atmospheric, and surprisingly emotional experience. Its blend of deckbuilding and tactical combat is clever and demanding, its visuals are hauntingly beautiful, and its story hits harder than you might expect from a game built around cards and grids. It’s not for everyone – the difficulty...
This is one of the better Terminator games of the last 20 years and fans of the films should absolutely lap this up. I recommend 2D: No Fate as a fun time, but it is a very short time and it may leave you feeling a little shortchanged despite its...
