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]
Merchants of Rosewall Preview
Last week, Digitalchumps was privy to a preview of Big Blue Sky Games’ upcoming 2024 title, Merchants of Rosewall. While the game was still being worked on, game director Kevin Hovdestad gave us the skinny and scoop of this upcoming fantasy shop game that gave off some wonderful Stardew Valley vibes. 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]
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]
