Jedi: Fallen Order
Arguably one of the hardest franchises to create anything for is Star Wars. Be it movies, TV, comic books, or yes: video games. EA’s track record when it comes to its Star Wars games license has been an interesting tale, to say the least. From gorgeous but shallow games like Battlefront 1 or 2 (campaign notwithstanding) to highly publicized canceled games like Star Wars 1313, EA has needed a hit o...[Read More]
NBA 2K20
I’m so conflicted with NBA 2K20. On one hand, it touts the strongest gameplay the series has had in years. On the other, it’s so chock-full of glitches and broken components at launch, that it’s nearly unplayable. The NBA 2K franchise has always been known as being a bit of a mess on launch-day/week, but NBA 2K20 is particularly broken. Yet for some reason, I can’t seem to shake that itch to keep ...[Read More]
Warlocks 2: God Slayers
Jumping into any sequel without playing the original game is a mistake any gamer has made, and is usually an egregious one when hopping into any action RPG sequel. However, over the last several years those sorts of mistakes have been alleviated with developers implementing smaller learning curves to get into their sequels even if you haven’t played the original game. I figured the same would be t...[Read More]
Kingdom Hearts 3
It’s here. It’s finally here. Can you believe it? You see, I’ve been waiting on Kingdom Hearts 3 since I was in 6th grade (yes, I’m young; or old depending on your perspective). For a while there, I never really thought it would exist. Even when the game was officially announced in 2013, I was a little on the “let’s wait and see” side of things. But here w...[Read More]
Diablo 3: Eternal Collection – Nintendo Switch Review
When Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch way back in 2016, my very first thought was exactly, “Diablo 3 needs to come to the Switch and I will lose my life to it.” Here we are in 2018, Diablo 3 is on the Switch, and I have almost lost my life to it. Unlike many other ports that have come to the Switch, Diablo 3: Eternal Collection is a game that almost feels as if it was developed for the Switc...[Read More]
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Review
Spyro the Dragon left an indelible mark on my childhood in 1998. It’s not surprising that Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is hitting so many of the same notes the original games did 20 years later. Toys for Bob (developers of the Skylanders franchise) clearly know what they’re doing when it comes to the beloved purple dragon, and we’re all fortunate enough to reap the benefits. From the...[Read More]
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
The game industry has had a pretty interesting year in terms of gameplay trends. From single-player games dominating sales charts to the continuing dominance of Fortnite and the Battle Royale genre, there are games catering to every type of player. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 comes into the fold by not only ditching its single-player campaign but going all-in on multiplayer content. I was a little t...[Read More]
NBA Live 19
The journey EA has taken with its NBA Live series has been an interesting tale to follow. Not only does EA have to compete with the monolith that is 2K, but they have to meet the expectations they’ve set themselves with the Madden series. It does seem as though excitement for Live picks up right up until release, and then falls sharply a few weeks after. For the most part, I feel as though E...[Read More]
Monster Hunter: World Review PC
For reference, check out DigitalChumps’ review of Monster Hunter: World when we reviewed it on PS4! Back in February, I claimed that Monster Hunter: World was the best jumping-in point for the series. With its release on PC, players can finally jump into MH: World with the best possible experience. While I won’t completely rehash my review from February (which you can find here), there are a...[Read More]
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Multiplayer Impressions
This past week, Activision revealed the first official look into Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 to a bevy of press, celebrities, and influencers. I had the distinct honor of checking out the game for Digital Chumps, putting roughly 2 hours into PC and PS4 multiplayer. Unfortunately I was unable to capture any of my gameplay session, so this quick impressions article will cover all of the information Ac...[Read More]
Far Cry 5 Review
Nestled between the hills, mountains and valleys of Montana lies Hope County; a place that bodes familiarity, yet trickles with evil and chaos in its darkest corners. While certainly not as exotic a locale as past Far Cry titles, Hope County offers much more to do; even if it’s citizens are only partially believable. See, one of the strongest suits Far Cry has always been able to offer is how thei...[Read More]
Far Cry 5 Arcade Mode Impressions
Far Cry 5 is introducing “Far Cry Arcade”, a sort-of replacement for the map editors of previous Far Cry entries. With my time at the recent Far Cry 5 preview event, I was able to sit down and play about 15-30 minutes of some pre-made arcade mode maps. And really, I’m not too sure my time playing the mode really gives the mode justice, as there is a ton to do within the mode. Giving players litera...[Read More]
