The Pikmin franchise attempts something that many games have tried and failed to do: make a fun real-time strategy game playable on a console. With the release of Pikmin 3 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch, a new generation of gamers are discovering a game that manages to do it right, but it’s...
Watch Dogs: Legion is Ubisoft Toronto’s attempt at bringing one of the publisher’s lesser appreciated series in-line with Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, attaching to it an eye-catching feature that allows players to “recruit and play as anyone” within the game’s world. But despite this sounding like an overly ambitious gimmick, Ubisoft pulls it...
Few ideas are as ripe for a video game as a cybernetic ninja. Unparalleled agility matched with the boundless power of technology is a blueprint perfectly suited for the interactive medium and the power fantasies it often attracts. Ghostrunner may seem like it was initially birthed out of a pitch...
I’ve reviewed around 200 titles since I started writing about games professionally, and I finished each of them. It doesn’t matter whether I’m having fun or not; I play until the credits roll. At least that was the case until this review. Remothered: Broken Porcelain, ironically, is the first game...
Some might be confused into thinking Port Royale 4 is a naval-centric game. It’s not, though players do have to manage a large fleet of ships. It’s a trading management/town builder set in the late 16th century with the Caribbean as the backdrop. Players expecting a swashbuckling adventure will be...
FIFA 21 review for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. With the PS5 and Xbox Series X looming around the corner, EA has unsurprisingly opted to make FIFA 21 more of an incremental update rather than a fully-fledged overhaul of its annual series. As the final FIFA game to launch with a focus on PS4...
CRASH BANDICOOT 4: IT’S ABOUT TIME REVIEW FOR PS4 AND XBOX ONE. Crash Bandicoot fans are used to disappointment as the four years of good entries have nearly been overshadowed by the two decades of bargain bin bandicoot blunders. The 2017 trilogy remaster was a pleasant reminder of what once was, but also an indicator...
Star Wars: Squadrons is a return to what was once a staple of Star Wars gaming. In the 90s and early-2000s, there were two great Star Wars flight series produced, X-Wing and Rogue Squadron. The former leaned towards flight simulation, with players handling complex targeting, communications, power management, and weapons...

HADES REVIEW FOR PC AND NINTENDO SWITCH. As is now essentially tradition, developer Supergiant Giants has spent three years making a new game that is polished and filled to the brim with exciting content. Bastion (2011), Transistor (2014), Pyre (2017), and now Hades (2020) enjoy critical acclaim and hardcore support from fans. During its early access period, we...
Vanillaware is one of those strange studios that manages to carve out its place in the gaming world at its own pace. Its games have taken 2D game art to its pinnacle, and no studio (save for maybe Arc System Works) can match Vanillaware’s mastery of sprites. After seven years...
SPELLBREAK REVIEW FOR PC, PS4, XBOX ONE, AND NINTENDO SWITCH. It’s 2020 and battle royale games are still king of the video game world. Enter Spellbreak with its own unique attempt at earning a slice of the BR pie. Trading guns for spells, developer Proletariat hopes that epic battlemage combat will be...
Oh Nintendo, for all your innovation and quality, you continuously miss the mark with your treatment of your back catalog. Out of all the video game companies to ever exist, Nintendo is likely the most wholly beloved. Despite a misstep here and there, the company’s first-party titles are largely hailed...
