Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II (PC) Review

The fight for the Emperor has made its triumphant return with the arrival of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II. Many of my friends and I got excited when Space Marine II was first announced, so it is quite something to finally have…

Albatroz (PC) – Review

Paced like an artsy-fartsy emotional piece about teenagers who want to touch each other, Albatroz is odd. You play as Isla, a young American woman who has gotten bored on the 9-5, and instead of doing the sane thing (like getting a…

Super Mario Party Jamboree (Switch) Review

Nintendo’s long history means there are certain series central to the company’s history that I haven’t played from the start. Mario Party, however, is a series I’ve played and loved for years. Okay, and sometimes I’ve hated it. It’s not just the…

Star Trek: Picard “Surrender” – Review

You will surrender, surrender to the… we’ll leave that for a while. Still directed by Deborah Kampmeier, there isn’t much to say there that hasn’t already been said. While “Surrender” is written by someone I’ve bemoaned multiple times over in a previous…

Life is Strange: Double Exposure (Xbox Series X) Review

Life is Strange gained a passionate fanbase following one of the most memorable stories in video games upon its release in 2015. Max and Chloe are synonymous with the medium’s most emotional, effective narratives since its inception. Since then, we’ve experienced relatively…

Diplomacy is Not an Option (PC) – Review

Given the number of times I said “Epic” when reviewing God of War Ragnarök, my love towards Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (the good one), and my general liking towards Battlefield 2042, I like things with large scale. Cue to an obvious joke…

Wilmot Works it Out (PC) Review

When I was young, my mother tried to share her love of jigsaw puzzles with me. I didn’t quite get it as a hyperactive kid, the idea of sitting still, sorting out the corner pieces, and then figuring out the picture as…

Rogue Flight (PS5) Review

For a kid that grew up with Star Fox 64, there seems to be a shortage in the nostalgia department for this style of game. Space combat gameplay is exhilarating, satisfying, and rewarding, and was a large attraction at arcades for decades, so…

Metaphor: ReFantazio (PC) Review

It is rare that I review a game from a new IP and find myself thoroughly impressed. This is specifically the case when a game is made by developers I already like. Crafted by the teams behind the Shin Megami Tensei and…

Europa (PC) Review

Some of the best stories in gaming are told in short-form, high-effort mediums, and I go out of my way to track them all down. Gone Home, Last Day of June, Before Your Eyes, and tons more have had a profound emotional effect on…
