Oblivion makes a return to the spotlight after decades of Skyrim hogging it… Wait… Why am I on a cart? NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Just kidding. This game is great and is something that should have been given the remaster treatment years ago. Oblivion shows that you can take something old and make it...
Despelote is a short narrative adventure told through the eyes of an eight-year-old boy, as he navigates everyday life while the nation around him comes to grips with seeing a major sports dream become reality for the first time in Ecuador’s history. This autobiographical tale gives players the freedom to...
Split Fiction is another fantastic co-op adventure from Hazelight Games, one that is well worth your time. The great level design and varied gameplay mechanics result in a very fun experience. I just couldn’t help but feel like it was something I had seen before, and the somewhat corny dialogue...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an amazing experience and game, especially when you consider its development.

That said, not every shot lands perfectly, and some areas could be addressed in future installments, depending on the subseries’ longevity. The REV system has ramped up the...
Despite some minor tech issues and lack of any real unique gameplay elements. I really enjoyed my time with South Of Midnight, its story and protagonist Hazel connected with me in a way I didn't expect. The setting and art direction give South Of Midnight an identity all it's own.
While I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with PGA Tour 2K25, I will say that the decision to lean towards realism isn’t one I’m truly a fan of. However, the way this game handles it is so well done that I can look past my personal preferences. Amazing graphics and...
