It still feels unreal that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is actually here and I’m reviewing it. It’s been twelve years since the original came out, and it seemed like Capcom had no interest in revisiting the IP, despite it being such a cult classic. I thought that I’d never see the...
The stealth genre is one of my favourites. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of sneaking around someplace you don’t belong, completely ghosting and taking out. Games like Hitman 3 have become one of my favourites in recent years. While the mostly solid Metal Gear Solid Master Collection brings back...
Devolver Digital has been on a bit of a roll over the past few years. Games like the thought-provoking Talos Principle 2 and the addictive roguelike Cult of the Lamb have been phenomenal successes that have become some of our favourites. They are also undoubtedly not afraid to release some...

There are games which I might not even consider the best thing out there, or even some of my favorites of the year, but I still can’t help but deeply respect. More often than not, that’s due to their troublesome development, when the people behind the project had to overcome...
I’ve made it no secret that I’m what you’d refer to as a JRPG purist. I hunger for that classic turn-based combat, experience points, and leveling. I’m a sucker for the spice that the traditional tale of saving the world brings. If that means I’m basic as hell, then I...
A dimly lit room, a shotgun, a table, and a dealer sitting at the other end of the table. Sometimes, that’s all a game needs to capture your attention. Buckshot Roulette is a web game that went viral a few months back, gathering the attention of some of the largest...
It always fascinates me when menial service simulators become hits, be it titles like PowerWash Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator. The Mudrunner series is another great example. In theory, it’s a series of logistics games: pick up cargo, venture through crappy terrain, deliver said cargo, use money to upgrade your...
Soulgame Studio, the creator of Minishoot’ Adventures seems to have a handle on something that is woefully missing from many retro-inspired titles, and that’s direction. Far too often, when encountering games that want to “capture the feeling of the NES era,” it’s done in aesthetic alone, sometimes coupled with the...
A few years ago, there was this period when South Park games had managed to escape the image of crapiness created by Acclaim’s Nintendo 64 trilogy (even though I still think that Chef’s Luv Shack is great), all thanks to two RPGs published by Ubisoft: The Stick of Truth and...
When it comes to Bio Inc. Redemption, a game of life and death, the player must, inherently, understand the consequences and weight that comes with trying to save the fragile state of being that is a person’s mortality. After all, even in this new age of better medicines, food quality...
I was first introduced to the world of baseball, be it virtual or otherwise, three years ago, when I first reviewd MLB The Show 21. It didn’t make fall in love for the sport like how EA Sports’ NHL games did, but I was impressed with the quality in display,...
For the past month one game (at least one that isn’t called Final Fantasy XIV) has been dominating my time. Helldivers 2 is a game that I was following before launch, but had no idea how successful it would eventually become. I know it’s early to say that in the...
