Nightingale Preview (PC)
A week or so ago, we were privy to a preview from developer Inflexion Games featuring their upcoming early-access game Nightingale. While the game was in its early stages, and it fought us a bit because of our overpowered 4070 card, we got in enough of a playthrough to give you the basics of what to expect from this extremely promising game. The short version was that the game was a mixture of Sky...[Read More]
Helldivers II Review (PS5)
Okay, full disclosure – I have never played Helldivers in my life. Of course, after playing the sequel, I guess that must change. Eventually. Like, when I’m done with my gazillion reviews. Anyway, it has been a long time, maybe, since the vanilla versions of Destiny and Destiny 2, where I have played a community-driven game that felt like progress was being made and, more importantly, I was part o...[Read More]
Dragon Quest Builders Review (PC)
Sometimes when life is feeding you lemons and pushing you to beg for a positive moment, that moment comes in the form of a game. And that gaming reprieve came in the form of blocks, dragons, and quests. Square Enix’s oddly satisfying answer to Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builders, is back! And it’s just as I remember it from 2016 – fun, satisfying, and endless. The last time I reviewed Dragon Quest Bu...[Read More]
FOAMSTARS Review (PS5)
When FOAMSTARS landed in our inbox, we weren’t quite sure what to think of it. While the enthusiastic anime characters were welcoming, the concept of shooting foam in places to slow down your enemies while trying to boot them from a map was something very squid-like. As in, Splatoon squid-like. While the surface of the game is incredibly similar to the post-apocalypse squid game, including fightin...[Read More]

Racket Club VR Review (Meta Quest 3)
This is dumb. No, that’s not right. This is dumb fun! Actually, Racket Club VR isn’t dumb fun, it’s intelligent fun. When a game can nail the physics of a variety of sports so well in virtual reality, you know that you’re going to have that stupid MQ3 headset strapped on for a while. And let me tell you, the physics are so good that the game worked me out to the point where the headset almost push...[Read More]
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review (PC)
Let me start by saying that the entire concept of the Turnip Boy series is ludicrous and at the same time strangely beautiful. Developer Snoozy Kazoo lives off of crazy ideas and good execution with their Turnip Boy series and gives me hope that when the bigger companies in the video game world collapse, we’re going to be left with the best gaming experiences that we didn’t immediately see. If big...[Read More]
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Review (PS5)
My goodness, how long has it been since I played my last Ace Attorney game? I think the last one was The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures, which I know wasn’t a huge hit with fans of the series, but I thought it was interesting enough to fit just fine within the Ace Attorney family. Its departure from the present timeline and journey into the Ace Attorney past helped to keep the game a bit more inte...[Read More]
