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]

The idea of the game, as it was previewed to us, was that you build, run, and grow a fantasy shop ...[Read More]
Balatro Review (PS5)
If you need a reason to stay up late while continually challenging yourself to do better in a game, then developer LocalThunk has a card game for you called Balatro. Taking the simple concept of poker and turning it right on its freaking head, LocalThunk has put together a ridiculously addictive gaming experience that I literally had to pull away from to get this review done. I can’t say that abou...[Read More]
Lysfanga Review (PC)
Developer Sand Door Studio has something special with its newest game Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior. On the surface, it may look like your typical hack-and-slash strategy game that is led by action and nothing more. Underneath its hood, it’s far more than just that. Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior is about finding, collecting, upgrading, and fighting. The latter part features a time shift comp...[Read More]
Airhead Review (PS5)
It has been a very long time since a puzzle platformer/metroidvania has had me thinking and obsessing over solutions more than actually playing the game. The last time I felt this way was with the classic 3DO game Another World, where the action was fast and furious, but the puzzles were even more mentally taxing and magnified the richness of the genius gameplay. Believe me, you want games like th...[Read More]
