Resident Evil: Requiem
It’s been a whopping thirty years since the release of the first Resident Evil game, as well as its impact taking survival horror to the next level. The franchise has, admittedly, had its fair share of ups and downs over the past few decades, but it’s still a series I’ve...
Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven
Devolver’s Cult of the Lamb is one of the most well regarded roguelikes in recent years. Taking cute little creatures, both animals and others, and putting them in a cult dedicated to an “evil” force. The new DLC, Woolhaven, takes this all a step further alongside recent updates surrounding the...
I’m going to preface this review by saying this is my first ever Suda51 game. I’m setting that bar right away because you’re going to see a lot of flabbers being gasted. There were long periods of this game where my jaw was just hanging there as I wondered what...
Mewgenics
Edmund McMillen has stolen weeks of my life, and I have let him. From the PC to my ill fated times on 3DS and iOS, and now my almost daily driver of the Switch, I have continued to play The Binding of Isaac for more than a decade, and I’m...
There are two things I dislike a lot from Sony’s current approach to Playstation 5 exclusives. The first one is the fact they obviously pivot towards the huge, sprawling, expensive, cinematic AAA games meant to be “reasons for one to buy a Playstation 5”. I think they have been lacking...

The first two Little Nightmares games were something special. They were a unique concept that built on the ideas Limbo established for creating memorable horror experiences. Little Nightmares II took that to the extreme and perfected it- an instant classic and truly special experience, combining thrilling gameplay with a compelling...
Crisol: Theater of Idols
Let me get this out of the way: I might not be the biggest fan of Blumhouse as a studio (I prefer outings of theirs like Vengeance or BlacKkKlansman over, say, Paranormal Activity), but I really appreciate their production model, giving totally creative freedom and a wide theatrical distribution to...

Hero shooters, the marmite of the gaming world. Some people love them, some people hate them. It’s a divisive genre that has struggled to escape from the shadow of Overwatch for around ten years now. A game itself that has struggled to stay relevant. There’s been some solid efforts, and...
Nioh 3
Team Ninja has really been on a roll lately. With the releases of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, and while not directly developing Ninja Gaiden 4, they still were involved and advisors during development. Team Ninja games have always stood out with their great style, designs, combat and the Nioh series has been...
Back in mid-December, my Instagram reels feed was plastered with gameplay footage from a game that seemed interesting, but had visuals so rough I wasn’t sure if the footage was actually from a real (but cheap) game or if it was just another AI slop polluting my feed. A few...

The Game Bakers are one of those indie developers that I will always look forward to what’s coming next from them. It all started off in 2016 with the fantastic “1-Hit Kill Boss Rush” game Furi, which was tough, stylish and unique at the time. Since then, every game The...
