TSUKIHIME – A piece of blue glass moon Review (PS4)
If you want a visual novel, this is a visual novel. TSUKIHIME – A piece of blue glass moon from developer Type-Moon is a deep and well-written monster and mayhem-driven story. It’s quite a journey. While I would certainly like a bit more interactivity in my visual novel, as you’re often making dialogue choices rather than action-based ones, having a good story with hard turns and twists make...[Read More]
#BLUD Review (PC)
#BLUD is a game that lives with the heart of the Powerpuff Girls while maintaining the personality of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That is one helluva combination for a game to contain, especially when the visuals back it all up. And believe me, this is a visually stunning game on so many levels. The game doesn’t live solely on its prettiness and powerful edginess, it also contains a wonderful backbo...[Read More]

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut Review (PC)
I don’t really care how many versions of Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut Sony Interactive Entertainment publishes on another platform because I’m still going to play the hell out of it before reviewing it. Every single time. Let me clarify, the main reason for doing that repeatedly is that GoT is a fantastic, replayable game that features a compelling story and set of well-developed characters. ...[Read More]
Zet Zillions Review (PC)
When I first had Zet Zillions drop on my desk I didn’t know what to think about it. The only roguelike deckbuilder I had really dug into prior to this experience was Balatro. I still can’t play that game because of how addictive it is and because I don’t have the time right now. Anyway, that was the last game of this type I played and it set the bar for how good a deckbuilder could truly be. Where...[Read More]
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Review (PC)
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is a masterpiece of storytelling and character development. There is no other way to put it. It is the perfect example of developers concentrating so hard on telling the story of a character’s journey that they build the gameplay around it instead of vice-versa. Rarely do you find that type of dedication in a video game, as that development structure typically is reserve...[Read More]
The Crow – Steelbook 4K UHD (Review)
The Crow has a special place in my heart out of all the 90s movies for a couple of reasons. The first is that it echoed a darker time and a grungy representation of a rule-less generation that was dying to right the wrongs of previous generational standards. All these metaphorical assumptions wrapped into a tragic, Gothier telling of Romeo & Juliet, if Romeo had come back from the dead and tak...[Read More]
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes Review (Nintendo Switch)
Everything that you have heard and read about this game is absolutely true. It’s another hit from publisher Annapurna Interactive, and a refreshing direction from Simogo, the company that brought you Sayonara Wild Hearts. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a Twin Peaks-esque journey that is narratively and visually surrounded by oddity and mystery. It features some truly mind-bending puzzles that encou...[Read More]
Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs Review (PS5)
I have some history with Pac-Man. More so than most gamers. I was five years old when the first Pac-Man arcade machine hit the U.S. shores and it certainly had me hooked as soon as I put my hands on its arcade joystick. Much like my attention, Pac-Man took the world by storm and hasn’t looked back since. Over the last 40 years and some change, publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment has made an absol...[Read More]
