When the going gets uncertain, return to Morrowind. That sure seems like Zenimax Online’s strategy, and who can blame them? Nostalgia is today’s market, and it works. The Morrowind Chapter was Zenimax’s pivot from traditional DLC to yearly Chapter expansions, and to say it worked is an understatement. Here we...
Sludge Life 2
I didn’t like the original Sludge Life, which I considered to be a dull and tryhardish platformer/adventure hybrid with zero charisma and an underwhelming gameplay loop. It had two positive aspects, though: it was indeed unique (for better or for worse), and it was free. Or at least it was...
Park Beyond
I was very interested in playing Park Beyond for a series of reasons. The first one is simple: I love theme park simulators, even though it seems like no one has been able to come up with something as good as Theme Park World or the first few RollerCoaster Tycoon...
Diablo IV
The Diablo franchise is one of the longest-running game franchises with a huge fan base. It’s also been over ten years since its last outing, with Diablo III coming out way back in 2012. Whilst the reception to that one initially started rather mixed, with a rough launch and a...
Is there a franchise more divisive and controversial amongst its own fans than Final Fantasy? How many times have I seen equal amounts of people loving and hating Final Fantasy VII‘s remake, XIII’s linearity, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins‘ ridiculousness, and so on. With the exception of maybe VI,...
Dordogne
Mon Dieu. After eagerly awaiting Dordogne to release for over a year now, I was elated to finally get my hands on it. A narrative-focused adventure set within the French countryside, depicted through watercolor paintings? Dordogne seemed like it was tailor-made for me. Unfortunately, I came to discover that its...
HEY, YOU. Yeah, you with the face and the shirt. Are you tired of your video games giving you meaning and fulfillment? Do you squirm with discomfort at the notion of feeling like you’re making progress? Put down the bells and turnips, your villagers hate you, and Tom Nook is...
I didn’t hate The Lord of the Rings: Gollum. There’s actually a few things the game does well. I believe that the premise is decent, and with the right execution, it could have been great. However, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is not that game, and fails at being a...
Bat Boy
Being able to celebrate a truly fantastic game is something that brings around people from all walks of life. We only just cracked the seal on Tears of the Kingdom before the world became awash in Diablo IV, Street Fighter 6, and Farming Simulator 23. Additionally, when a game is...
Despite being a massive horror fan, I have never actually played any Layers of Fear game in the past. It’s a series that has got a bit of a reputation for being loved or hated by those in the horror communities. Our own Leo Faria wasn’t a big fan of...
The gut reaction from any executive or producer with a successful product is to try and create a follow up to equal the success. Be it a movie, a book, a game or a song, someone in a suit is going to lean in and insist that we can capture...
Believe it or not, I wasn’t exactly hyped during Street Fighter 6‘s pre-launch campaign. Although, I can possibly blame Street Fighter V for that. For the past eight years or so, that dud of a fighter (at least when it first came out) really bothered me. Meanwhile, it seemed like every...
