Control (PS4) Review
I’m typically a sucker for a game with a great story, and Remedy Entertainment is a company that never ceases to deliver when it comes to making great games with deep atmospheres and compelling stories. Alan Wake was a strong entry for the studio, while Quantum Break is possibly the best TV show I’ve ever seen. When I heard that Remedy was planning to do a Twin Peaks inspired thriller ...[Read More]
MISTOVER Gets Launch Date and Additional Platform
It’s no secret that several of us here on Marooners’ Rock are very excited about MISTOVER, the upcoming turn-based RPG from KRAFTON Game Union. Now it looks as though the wait is nearing an end.

Remnant: From the Ashes (PC) Review
The popularity of games centered around overcoming extreme difficulty has surged tremendously in the last decade in the wake of the extremely well-received From Software’s Dark Souls, and later titles Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice to the point that other games that strive for this challenging, combat driven experience are often called “souls-like” or “soulsborne” games. One of the thing...[Read More]
Lapis x Labyrinth (PS4) Review
Lapis x Labyrinth is a visual and auditorial assault on the player and it is freaking glorious. Wrapped in a straightforward 2D action RPG where the main drive is to get further and further into a huge dungeon is this casino-like cacophony of light, sound, and most importantly screen-filling showers of jewels. In a world where games are putting in literal casinos and games are getting micro-transa...[Read More]
NIS America Announces Trails of Cold Steel III Jacket Contest
It may be too hot outside right now to think about anything except cold drinks, swimming pools, and places with good air conditioning, but NIS America is already gearing up for Fall with their latest contest. Apparently someone forgot to tell the folks over there that Back to School shopping isn’t supposed to start until August, and PR kicked off a campaign to win a Thors Branch Campus repli...[Read More]
Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled Shows Promise at E3 2019
On Monday of the E3 week, we got to smash, crash, and bash our foes in the rebooted classic Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled. Prior to this hands-on preview, I had only once played Crash Team Racing. As a child, I would typically play Mario Kart as my main racing title of choice until purchasing a PS2 and learning about Juiced and Need for Speed. At PAX East 2019, Andrew got to preview the rebooted...[Read More]
God of War (PS4) Review
The God of War returns, as Kratos finally matures into an actual human. Yet, is that enough to help the series continue after the weak reception to God of War: Ascension?
Redeemer Enhanced Edition to Drop the Hammer on Consoles
Sitting in solitude, Vasily counts his prayer beads and reflects on the atrocities that were wrought by the very hands thumbing the delicate chain of wishes, wishes to forget and wishes to move on. For 20 years he tried to find peace at a mountain-nestled monastery, only to have his past come like a great flood. Hammer and pistol in hand, Vasily stretches his tired bones prepared for one last shot...[Read More]

While at this time I’m working on my full review of the game on the Xbox One version of the game at this time of writing. The team at Phoenix Labs is pleased to announce that Dauntless is now out on Xbox One, PS4 and Epic Game Store. Along with that is that crossplay is being featured in their game Dauntless. During this past week, I did take notice of the icons I saw in-game, but with anyth...[Read More]
