Kao the Kangaroo
Kao the Kangaroo might not be as iconic as Mario, Sonic, Crash, or Spyro in the golden era of 3D platformers, so Tate Multimedia's revival of this IP surprised many. The result is a fun, well-crafted platforming experience that, although playing it safe, ultimately satisfies.
Dolmen
Dolmen, the debut title from Massive Work Studio, is a challenging RPG inspired by Dark Souls, focusing heavily on combat. While the boss battles are thrilling, the game's moment-to-moment gameplay is dull and uninspired due to bland enemy and level design.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, a 2.5D side-scrolling action-adventure game serves as a companion title for the upcoming Hundred Heroes game. While it helps build the world and introduce characters, its distinct gameplay raises questions about whether there are additional elements to enjoy beyond these aspects.
MLB The Show 22
MLB The Show 22 has both good and bad news for fans. The formula does not need much change to entice players, while it painfully feels like last year's game.
Certain names in the video game industry, like Final Fantasy, are synonymous with quality, having built a strong reputation over the years.

WWE 2K22
What an amazing thing a year off for a game can be. Since the absolute disaster of WWE 2K20, there have been many murmurings about WWE taking their games elsewhere if WWE 2K22 was not a success. I am here to tell you today this game has traveled the path...
Elden Ring
When I started this review for Elden Ring, the latest action RPG brought to us by FromSoftware, developers of the acclaimed Dark Souls series, it struck me that with such a vast amount of material to cover, I did not really know where to start. It is no coincidence that...
