There’s no denying the need from the populous to scratch the Paper Mario itch. For years, even the Nintendo developers have tried to recapture the feel without retracing their steps, but that is how we got Sticker Star, Color Splash and the almost but not quite right Origami King. The...
Call of Duty is a weird series. I’m getting some strange déjà vu. I could have sworn that Modern Warfare 3 came out when I was in high school. All the characters in this game feel like I’ve seen them before, same with the maps that are available in the...
Sea of Stars was one of my most highly anticipated games of 2023. I’d been following the development journey after seeing its Kickstarter back in 2020. After becoming enamored with Sabotage Studio’s previous game, The Messenger, I knew they had the skills to deliver an amazing game, even if it...
Of all remasters from Nightdive Studios, Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion was the one I was looking forward to the most, even before its more-than-obvious reveal earlier this year. After knocking out of the park with their remasters of both Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, the...
The recent retro horror trend has been one of my favourites recently. I love when developers go back to the old days of the genre and take some of their most engaging elements, whilst putting modern spins on them. Last year’s Signalis was my personal favourite game of that year,...
When Cyberpunk 2077 was released in 2020 it was a really divisive game, launching in a terrible state and under-delivering in multiple areas. However, it was also just a good time, with a surprisingly touching story and great core gameplay. Overall, it was a really good game that didn’t hit...
Fun fact, but growing up, I was heavily into emo culture. I wore the clothing, painted my nails, and was moody as hell. My attitude and the alternative lifestyle meshed beautifully – it gave me identity. I was hooked, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that out of every...
The year 2023 has been a real monkey’s paw for Lord of the Rings fans. As a huge Middle-Earth fan, I’m always wanting more games utilizing the legendary IP. We’ve gotten some genuinely fantastic games from it, well beyond usual IP cash grabs. Lord of the Rings Online, Battle for Middle-Earth,...
PowerWash Simulator is one of the oddest success stories in the history of gaming, if you ask me. There are dozens, maybe hundreds of menial task simulators out in the market, with almost all of them being utterly boring duds where I constantly question the likelihood of the existence of...

It takes a lot to help breakup the approach that many developers take nowadays. Without pointing fingers, there are many titles that come from every size of studio with one idea in mind: copy an existing success. One glance at the Steam storefront or the eShop and you’ll find endless...
One could imagine that, given how Ubisoft blatantly refused to properly preview and promote Assassin’s Creed Nexus prior to its release, we weren’t supposed to look forward to it. When a big publisher can’t be bothered to promote a game before release, barely telling us a thing about its visuals,...
The Baldur’s Gate games are my most played across both time and platforms. I played the OGs and Enhanced Editions on PC. Then on iPad when they released there, and they’re on my Android phone now. Finally, there’s the shockingly fantastic console ports I have on PS4 and Nintendo Switch....
