Battlefield 2042 Review (Xbox Series X) – A Battle of Online Capability
Nearly a month has passed since EA and Dice released Battlefield 2042 and needless to say the game has been a disaster. Over the last month, the game has been struggling to be called even that. With a variety of bugs, crashes, and other problematic factors, Battlefield 2042 is an unfinished and lackluster game. Typically, we do not immediately criticize a game we are reviewing, but in this case, o...[Read More]

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5) Review
Fans of Marvel and its many properties are aware of the company’s exponential growth. Marvel’s success has skyrocketed since being purchased by Disney in 2009. The brand has found massive success branching away from its comic roots, and exploring other forms of media. The massively successful line of cinematic films, dubbed the MCU, has made Marvel into a household name. Their multitud...[Read More]
Far Cry 6 (PS5) Review
From its early beginnings as a gorgeous glorified tech demo, Far Cry has long been the standard for how to make a beautiful shooter. Far Cry 6 continues the trend of welcoming you to a glorious tropical nation that’s wracked by a deep political war. However, beauty only proves to be skin deep as Far Cry 6 feels the most foreign in the franchise.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS5) Review
Last year during PlayStation’s Future of Gaming event, Ember Lab unveiled their first-ever title. Having a background in creating animated commercials and shorts, Ember Lab’s first game, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, showcased incredibly well. The reveal trailer impressed many, by displaying a visually robust atmosphere in what looked to be a sprawling action-adventure. Initially slated for a lat...[Read More]
Hot Wheels Unleashed (Xbox Series X) Review
When it comes to racing games, I’m always keeping an eye out for the next game to play with friends. So when Hot Wheels Unleashed was first announced, I watched the teaser trailer and became more excited. Fast forward since the announcement and we have gotten to see more trailers leading up to the game’s launch on September 30th, 2021. Even with new details coming out, the idea of crea...[Read More]
Toodee and Topdee (PC) Review
I first caught wind of Toodee and Topdee at last year’s Gamescom Indie Arena booth. Developer dietzribi’s concept of combining 2D side-scrolling platforming sections, with puzzle sentric top-down block pushing, sounded incredibly unique. While both block pushers and platformers have been around for ages, the idea of mashing them up really peaked my interest. So much so, that I even took the time t...[Read More]
Deathloop (PC) Review – Let’s Do the Time Warp
Have you ever had the feeling of Deja Vu? During that feeling, did things go as you foresaw, or did something change? Did it change for better or for worse? Every day, someone around the world experiences some form of deja vu. This instance has inspired many pop culture adaptations such as Groundhog’s Day, Stein’s Gate, and Netflix’s Russian Doll. Now, Microsoft’s and Bethe...[Read More]
Life is Strange: True Colors Review (PS4) – The Weakest in the Franchise
When I first heard about Life is Strange: True Colors, during E3 2021, I was curious about what Deck Nine had planned. I was excited about the possibilities an empathic, or a telepathic, character could have on the Life is Strange universe. Could this new character subject others to her emotions, or manipulate the emotions of others, to get what she wanted? How would Alex build on the legacy of po...[Read More]
Stubbs The Zombie (PS4) Review
Since inception, zombies have had an undying effect on pop culture. The zombie craze was first conceptualized in the early 30s, with Victor Halperin’s White Zombie. White Zombie is known for being the first film to feature the undead nightmares. Since its 1934 debut, the zombie genre has continued to thrive. 1968’s Night of The Living Dead is often credited for the genre’s increased populari...[Read More]
Guilty Gear -Strive- (PS5) Review
Sometimes it’s hard to remember which Guilty Gear games I’ve even played, given how many of them are basically the same name with a small identifier. Street Fighter used to be the worst offender with titles like EX+α but Guilty Gear stole the crown when they started calling their games things like XX Λ Core Plus R and Xrd -Revelator-. In perhaps the most simply named Guilty Gear since ...[Read More]
Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World (Switch) Review
Sega’s Wonder Boy/Monster World franchise has quite a rocky history. The original Wonder Boy released in 1986. From there it spawned many sequels, remakes, and notably the Adventure Island franchise. In 2016, the original was remade by CFK Co. in the form of Wonder Boy Returns. A year later, Wonder Boy III would see a remake by another developer. Lizardcube set new standards for how a remake shoul...[Read More]
