These are dark times for tennis video games. When was the last time we got an actually decent tennis game on a console? Tennis World Tour was terrible. Mario Tennis has fallen from grace with its awful Wii U iteration and its underwhelming Switch version. The less I talk about...
I took advantage of how dead the first half of January is when it comes to new releases just so I could play a few games I didn’t have time to tackle in 2019. The top priority of my list was Disco Elysium. I’m not going to lie, I knew...
Awaken Realms came onto the scene not all that long ago with the publication of This War of Mine The Board Game, but since then has been taking the industry by storm with consistently successful releases. The Edge: Dawnfall came out a couple years back, followed by Lords of Hellas and...
Do we really play as the good guys? It’s a question people who over-analyze video game mechanics like to ask. In RPG’s for example, are we still the hero even after we slaughter countless creatures just to get a better drop? After gunning down enemy after enemy without hesitation in...
I’m not going to lie, this is the first time I’m playing a game in the Call of Juarez series. I had little to no knowledge about it prior to playing this specific Nintendo Switch port of the final iteration of the franchise. Now I’m wondering what the hell was...
The Talos Principle is one of those games that will always sit in mind. Releasing four years ago on PC, it came as a huge surprise to me blending some of the best sci-fi story telling with a puzzle game that rivals the likes of Portal 2. During the last...

I had never heard of Doctor Who before moving to England back in 2009. It was basically impossible to resist the urge of watching at least one episode of the long-lasting show, as well as Top Gear, back in those days, as everyone in school would talk about it. I’m...
When I first heard of Shovel Knight Showdown, my first thought was of how unfair it is that Shovel Knight himself is relegated to being a simple assist trophy in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Meanwhile, other useless characters like Piranha Plant, Dark Pit, and two thirds of the Fire Emblem...

Polish studio Bloober Team is a curious case of a developer that decided to focus on one thing and one thing only: narrative-driven horror games. I’ve had a somewhat mixed history with their games, as I’ve never played anything from them that was just “okay”. It was either dreadful, like...
