Dredge: The Pale Reach
The Pale Reach is a small expansion for Dredge that adds a new region to explore. The chillingly cold waters of The Pale Reach. The new region isn’t part of Dredge’s main story and can be tackled at any time, simply by sailing there. It does, however, offer some unique...
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
On the surface, not a lot has changed with the follow-up to everyone’s favorite web-slinging game. You still swing around the city at breakneck speeds and gracefully beat up bad guys. Then like any other PlayStation exclusive, you consistently have segments of the game forcefully stuffing its “Cinematic Experience” in...
Starfield
Starfield joins the ranks of one of my favorite games of all time by sharing the mantle with Skyrim. While some aspects can be improved, and I certainly hope that over time they will be. Starfield offers an experience that can only be found in the other Bethesda games that...
Exoprimal
Exoprimal’s core gameplay is stellar. The exosuits are a blast to play, and the game’s entire structure lends itself to team play really well, even with randoms. Its novel blend of PvP & PvE is incredibly unique and makes each match a fluid ever-changing experience. The game’s use of epic 10-player...
Dragon Dawn is a rather small expansion for Age of Wonders 4 but still features some pretty game-changing additions to the game, including the ability to be an actual whole-ass dragon. It also adds two new tomes with new spells and units, a new lizardfolk body type for your factions,...
State of Decay 2
State of Decay 2 earned its place as one of my favorite games years ago. As the updates continued, it further cemented itself there. I always say the best stories a game can tell, are the ones you generate yourself. Every community, whether you succeed or fail, generates those stories....
Age of Wonders 4
Age of Wonders has a long history of great 4X strategy games. One of its defining features is the sheer variety of playstyles available from its various factions. That variety is why the previous game in the franchise, Age of Wonders: Planetfall, became one of my favorite games.
The Last Spell
The Last Spell answers a very specific question. What would you get if you crossed Final Fantasy Tactics with They Are Billions? Who asked such a question? I have no idea, but I’m glad someone did.
Deathloop
Deathloop’s a solid shooter with room for creativity in how you approach the individual districts. But its ham fisted linear handholding of a single viable sequence of events to actually break the loop greatly diminishes the novelty of the experience and reduces the game down to what feels like a...
Marvel's Midnight Suns
When rumors first started floating around that a Marvel X-COM was in the works, I was ecstatic. When it was revealed that Midnight Suns wouldn’t share anything in common with X-COM. I deflated. That bias stuck with me for so long that I even threw a tiny bit of shade...
God of War Ragnarök
Spoiler Warning: This review contains some mild story and gameplay spoilers.
Hardspace: Shipbreaker
Hardspace Shipbreaker falls under the category of a game that essentially emulates a job that would be horrible in real life, but is for some reason fun to play. As a kid, adults could not fathom why I was playing Harvest Moon, a game about growing crops and taking care...
