Ground Zero
If there’s one trend I’ve been loving lately, it’s the comeback of PS1-style horror games. There’s something special about those chunky, retro visuals paired with modern design sensibilities and quality of life improvements that just works. Games like Crow Country, Alisa, and Signalis have already proven how effective that mix...
The Moomins franchise, created by Finnish author Tove Jansson, is a fascinating case of being a slow burner success. For the first, say, fifty years or so of its existence, it was a hit amongst Nordic children. But come the early 90s, an animated series made in Japan made the...
There is something so special seeing the resurgence of great Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle content. The fantastic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge, The Cowabunga Collection, and even the bit different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate was great to have. Of course the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie was delightful,...
Bus Bound
Bus Bound, the latest title from the team behind Bus Simulator 21, is set in Emberville, a fictional American city. Your task is deceptively simple: keep to the timetable, obey traffic laws, and deliver passengers safely from stop to stop. What initially sounds mundane, quickly proves absorbing. Parking neatly at...
Ever since I went to see Project Hail Mary, I’ve been chasing that next great sci-fi fix. The kind that delivers big ideas and memorable characters without talking down to the audience. DONTNOD’s Aphelion seemed to arrive at just the right moment, but does it actually live up to that...
Look back at yesterday. You were just there, weren’t you? It was real and it was important and it was everything, literally everything, if your world. Now you’re here, in today, and yesterday is back there. Already a fuzziness begins to inhabit what was your thinking, breathing, all encompassing day,...
Over the past few years, Capcom has rarely missed, landing just about every major release while still being willing to experiment with new formulas and styles. It’s a studio that isn’t afraid to get a little weird, and that willingness often leads to some genuinely unique experiences. Exoprimal, despite its...
Innovation is the key to evolving gameplay, and those that manage to do so successfully are what drive creativity and uniqueness in an oversaturated market. When Road 96 was first announced, I thought the idea of random, procedurally generated chapters in a narrative-driven game sounded ludicrous. As it turns out,...
What a long time coming for highly anticipated indie. I remember being absolutely blown away by its pixel art during Xbox’s showcase back in 2021, I was hyped and eagerly awaiting its arrival every year. Equally bummed each time it didn’t show back up or there was a delay, but...
World of Warcraft returns with its latest expansion, the second of the three part Worldsoul Saga, Midnight. This massive overarching story has been keeping fans of the MMO intrigued for the past couple years now, and as of now we are, nearly, halfway through the fate of Azaroth and what...
And those dogs and cats are looking to share an apartment! It’s all over!
This year I made a promise to myself that I would start trying out some games that aren’t normally in my wheelhouse. Trying to broaden my horizons a bid to appreciate more of the gaming world and have a less closed off mentality to styles I wouldn’t usually immediately go...
