Town to City
I don’t usually gravitate toward cozy games, as I find them a bit boring. But when I came across videos of Town to City, I decided to give it a chance. After all, it’s not every day you see a title with such a distinctive visual style. And even better...
Gothic 1 Remake
Twenty-five years have passed since the release of the original Gothic. I’m not one of those players who feel a strong sense of nostalgia or sentimental attachment to the game. And yet, somewhat surprisingly, the remake managed to capture my imagination. It’s just a pity that, from a technical standpoint,...
My fascination with games that have progressively longer and longer titles will be the death of my writing career. Every time I discover something new that needs to use a linebreak to deliver the full title, I want to see what the heck is going on, and it wreaks havoc...
Farming Simulator 25
After reviewing Farming Sim 22 and then the mobile version, Farming Sim 23, I took a little break from farming to see if there would be some noticeable changes to the formula. Don’t get me wrong, these games are immense and I can understand the appeal, but they aren’t without their...

Lovecraft was a deeply unhappy man whose inherent fear of everything led to extreme views on racism and xenophobia. There are a lot of supporters of Lovecraft out there (for his non racist writings) who come up with justifications to excuse away how the man thought and spoke. Here’s the...
Mina the Hollower
The year is 2014, often considered to be one of the weakest in the history of gaming. One of the shining beacons of hope in an otherwise dull year was the release of a little Kickstarter-backed title called Shovel Knight, by a then-unknown team called Yacht Club Games. I won’t...
I’ll be honest: I didn’t think that Yoshi and the Mysterious Book was going to be anything but filler. I legitimately thought it was merely going to be “another Yoshi game”. Another cute, well-put, functional, but predictable 2.5D platformer just like pretty much any other game in the franchise. But...
RoadOut
One of the most challenging parts of making soup is ensuring there’s a balance in what you’re creating. For those untrained or unfamiliar with the art, you might assume that simply adding more and more complimenting flavors would elevate the dish to something grandiose and hitherto unappreciated, crafting a brand...
Forza Horizon 6
If there is one constant from Xbox’s recent (and very shaky) output of titles, is that Forza Horizon is not only their most critically acclaimed franchise, but possibly THE most critically acclaimed racing franchise of all time. Yes, I said what I said, Gran Turismo followers. The mixture of open...
Good games based on James Cameron’s Alien franchise seem to show up every now and then. Outside of a certain game by Gearbox Studios that shall remain nameless, there have been some genuinely surprising hits exploring wildly different gameplay styles that somehow just work. From the flawed masterpiece that is...
If there is any gaming IP living heavily on nostalgia, it is Mega Man. To date, most of the main series, side series, and spin offs have found their way onto modern consoles through various legacy collections. Do not get me wrong, as a huge fan of spin offs like...
