Victoria 3
Paradox grand strategy games are something of a genre in and of themselves. There’s a lot of overlap between games, but there’s no denying the shared DNA in Stellaris and Crusader Kings and Hearts of Iron. Each of them places the focus on a different aspect of empire management, but...
I love Sonic games. They’re cheesy, over the top, crammed with heart, and tons of fun. That being said, they’re not always… good? But I love them anyway. Sonic Frontiers is a perfect Sonic game. It tugs at your heart strings, it’s a blast to play, and it’s peppered with...
The Chant
Back in the 1980s, an Indian guru named Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh founded a commune outside the rural Oregon town of Antelope (less than an hour’s drive from where I live). Hundreds of followers came to the sprawling commune, attracted to promises of spiritual enlightenment, sexual freedom, and countercultural expression. Rajneesh...
The Entropy Centre is a puzzle/platformer from solo indie developer, Stubby Games that borrows from the best. The best being Valve’s 2007 Portal. It’s apparent from the moment you start the game, that The Entropy Centre’s ancestry is firmly linked to Portal. You can check out our preview here for...
Self-described as an “interplanetary action RPG adventure with a rich, choice-driven story,” Batora: Lost Haven definitely checks the boxes that it sets out for itself. With the style of gameplay that it employs (isometric fast-paced action), Batora was right up my alley in terms of what my gaming appetite had...
Triangle Strategy puts the strategy in strategy RPG. Its setting is gorgeously realized, its worldbuilding is excellent, and its characters are messy and complex in the best way. The game avoids putting all its eggs in one basket by also containing some intricate and often grueling combat. Both these sides...
For better or worse, it’s that time of year when we dive into the latest Call of Duty offering. Modern Warfare II is an indirect sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare, and just like its predecessor, this is a reboot of the original Modern Warfare games from just over a decade...
Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher’s title should be “Monster Rancher featuring Ultraman”. That’s exactly what it is. If you’ve played Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX, this is basically that game with an Ultraman theme. For Monster Rancher fans, this is more of what you love, with little innovation. Ultraman fans...
Signalis
This Signalis review has been a long time coming. I won’t say I’ve been following the game from the very start, but I’ve already played through two previews. Watching the game come into its own has been an amazing experience. If you’re at all interested in old-school survival horror, this...
Ghostbusters is a franchise powered by nostalgia. The seminal 1980s comedy film about blue-collar paranormal exterminators still thrives within the collective consciousness. Beyond its sequels, toys, and Saturday morning cartoons, the franchise has been adapted into a handful of video games across numerous platforms. The latest is an asymmetrical multiplayer...
Gotham Knights
DC’s caped crusader is an icon whose legacy is evident in each form of media. From comics to the cinema, Kane and Finger’s masked vigilante has left audiences in awe since his inception in 1939. Although he has swooped on to consoles several times before, it was Rocksteady’s 2009 effort,...
Well, it has taken six years — a lifetime in videogame years — for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End to wind its way to PC. The game made a couple of stops en route, including a remaster on PS5 that paired Uncharted 4 with its standalone DLC, The Lost Legacy....
