Self-reflection in times of great emotional pain can be harrowingly difficult, both to experience and express outwardly. Sea of Solitude aims to capture the desolation of personal trauma.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a fantastic modern day Castlevania title from Koji Igarashi, who shows us that he hasn't lost his touch.
I found a good friend by the name of Pedro recently. Why is he my friend? Why is he also a banana? No idea, but it's awesome.
Judgment is without a doubt the best playing Yakuza game to date. It has all of the quality of life improvements of the Dragon Engine alongside a host of new welcome features.

While Squanch Games has put out a handful of games in the past, the most noteworthy of which being Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality, they've been short experiences with very little substance to them.

I wanted to like this game. I really did. Generation Zero had little buzz surrounding it in the months leading up to its release, much to my surprise when I learned of the game's existence. A co-op open-world shooter set in 1980's Sweden with a kickin' synth soundtrack? That checks so many…
From the house that gave us Dark Souls and Bloodborne comes their next masterpiece and I'm loving it.
