Dead Men Deliberations
Promise Mascot Agency has such a weird premise—developed by the developers of the unique Paradise Killer, it’s an open-world game in which a former yakuza member manages an agency of anthropomorphic creatures posing as marketing mascots. It sounds weird, and we tested it out on PC and Xbox Series X...
The Precinct
As the astonishingly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed to next year, those who wanna roleplay as criminals in a US town may have to wait a while longer. In the meantime, however, we have the polar opposite – The Precinct, a top-down open world game evidently inspired...
Thanks to the kerfuffle caused by Xbox fans after the Mavel vs Capcom Fighting Collection initially skipped Xbox, the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is launching day one with other platforms!

It is an impeccably made work of absolute genius, and the team at Dogubomb and Game Director Tonda Ros have worked magic here. As I said at the start of this review, I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever played. Without a doubt a shoe-in for indie...
South of Midnight is a stunningly beautiful and moving experience. While the gameplay doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, it combines excellent writing and music to move your soul in ways only the best games can. This title is an enormous step-up for Compulsion Games, and I hope this isn’t...
Atomfall
Atomfall is best when it’s difficult. While I had a few issues with the story, my main concern is the crashing I experienced on Xbox. If that is smoothed out this one is an easy recommendation for those with patience. It can be brutal, but it’s oddly endearing and full...
