Verne: The Shape of Fantasy Review (PC)
Something is interesting about a point-and-click adventure that has a strong LucasArts 90s vibe to it. There’s nothing quite like that era of gaming, where good stories and puzzles led over graphical prowess. That gameplay formula generally meant a good time. See games like The Dig and The Secret of Monkey Island for details. I mention all the above because developer Gametopia has thrown its old-s...[Read More]
MLB The Show 24 Review (PS5)
Is anyone really surprised by MLB The Show and how it paves the way for bringing meaningful content every year and trying out new modes that are actually worthwhile? I’ve stopped waiting for the other shoe to drop with this series, as every year they have managed to meet expectations and make each game in the series more than just a roster upgrade. Seriously, Electronic Arts, you need to take a lo...[Read More]
Predecessor Preview (PC)
Digitalchumps had the opportunity to sit down with Omeda Studios CEO Robbie Singh this past week and play through a few sessions of their upcoming MOBA Predecessor, and Omeda’s CEO is no stranger to the genre. Singh’s past lies with being a content creator for Epic Games’s long-since-gone Paragon. If you’re not familiar with the game, it was a long-lost MOBA with the promise of third-person gamepl...[Read More]
Open Roads Review (PC)
When I saw Open Roads a month and some change ago, I honestly wasn’t too sure about it. The devs were banking on a good story and great acting but didn’t show much interactivity during the presentation. The hands-off preview was just a taste of what was to come, but it was obvious from the get-go that narrative and acting were leading the way with interactivity taking a firm backseat. Now, the lac...[Read More]
Highwater Review (PS5)
Annapurna Interactive has set a standard where a good story sometimes trumps intricate and detailed gameplay. And I will always say that a prioritized story is what makes a game memorable. Sometimes a great story can make up for gameplay shortcomings. We’ll definitely revisit this in future reviews. Now, developer Demagog Studio and publisher Rogue Games, Inc. have taken that structure that makes ...[Read More]

Rick and Morty – Season 7
What a strange journey it has been for the show Rick and Morty. From cropping up and struggling to convince the good folks at Adult Swim to retain them, to an enormous amount of success once Adult Swim knew what they had, and only to have a huge downswing once creator/voice actor Justin Roiland was removed from the show sending into a spiral, and now the first season without Justin Roiland and new...[Read More]
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley Review (PC)
It has been a while since I played an oddly satisfying game that doesn’t overachieve in what it’s trying to do. Sometimes that is all you’re really asking for when trying to briefly get away from reality that holds so much stress, doubt, and uncertainty. The game Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley delivers that satisfying escape without much effort. Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley from developer Hype...[Read More]
