Samson Review (PC)
Sometimes potential can be seen miles away from the final destination. I see potential with Samson, but it has not quite completed its journey yet. The story of Samson has the titular character back in the town of Tyndalston from a prison stint and owing some very bad people a lot of money. His poor sister’s safety is at stake with the bad men, but Samson is hellbent on doing everything in his pow...[Read More]
GRIME II Review (PC)
While Metroidvania games are a dime a dozen these days, there are a few that typically stand out. One such example is GRIME II from developer Clover Bite and publisher Kwalee. GRIME II is an action RPG at heart, but it contains a lot of back and forth between locations, huge environments, and interesting boss fights that are worth getting frustrated over repeatedly. In addition, the game contains ...[Read More]
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Review (PS5)
So…this remastered business. Can we talk about it? When a game is remastered, it simply means that the game’s quality of life has been improved. A game being remade is certainly more profound (see Resident Evil 1-4 for details). Knowing the difference is essential to meeting one’s expectations of a game. And the expectations of the latest remastered game that was dropped on our Digitalchumps’ desk...[Read More]

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic Review (PS5)
I was never much of a simulator fan. Well, that’s not exactly true. I did love Jurassic Park, Genesis. That love revolved around building dinosaur enclosures, gathering huge crowds via helicopter, then nixing the helipads and dropping the fences. Sooo…I loved simulating the actual Jurassic Park film and book. The virtual dinosaurs and their bellies especially loved it. Anyway! Back to the point, s...[Read More]
Basketball Classics Review (PS5)
The rebirth of Acclaim has brought back a resurgence of classic material and gameplay concepts. One such resurgence revolves around 8-bit experiences and basketball. It’s a perfect time for both. Basketball Classics from developer Namo Gamo is a tip of the hat to an 8-bit basketball time that gave birth to such classics as Double Dribble and Lakers vs. Celtics. The gameplay for both titles wasn’t ...[Read More]
Last Man Sitting Review (PC)
Raw Fury is finding developers who are bringing unique experiences using old concepts. I can dig it. Old concepts that are updated to modern gameplay are always a huge plus. And today’s review features a game that has a lot of Dead Rising built into it and follows that old concept of point and shoot without much thought. Welcome to Last Man Sitting from developer DoubleMoose Games, where sitting o...[Read More]
DAMON and Baby Review (PC)
It has been about a month since we previewed DAMON and Baby, and we are back with a review of the fully finished game. While not much has changed with DAMON and Baby, our attitude toward the gameplay has certainly shifted. The isometric Diablo-wannabe brings some imaginative characters, large-scale levels, and a solid story that pushes it all along. The controls, which we brought up in the preview...[Read More]
MLB The Show 26 Review (PS5)
It’s that time of year again when college basketball begins to lose its madness, and the sounds of bats cracking and crowds cheering are moving in on its territory. Yep, it’s baseball season again, and let me just say, I am ready to be disappointed by my Cincinnati Reds for another 100+ games. Of course, in true Draft Day-like fashion, I am also ready to fantasize about the Reds going all 1990 aga...[Read More]
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review (PC)
It has been nearly a year since I wrote what I consider to be one super-informative and well-respected review for Death Stranding 2. Okay, only one of those is true. You can guess. Anyway! I am back again, thanks to Death Stranding finding its way to the PC this past Friday. While my opinion of the game hasn’t waivered one bit, the experience has improved thanks to powerful PC capabilities. And th...[Read More]
Epomaker Glyph Keyboard Review (PC)
While most of the keyboards reviewed on Digitalchumps have been technical marvels and purposeful in their designed intentions, sometimes keyboard art hits our desk and overtakes functionality. This is the case with Epomaker’s Glyph keyboard. The Glyph keyboard is an artistic choice rather than a necessity. It is driven by being a talking point when people arrive in your office or home, rather than...[Read More]
The Coin Game
There are so many feelings to unpack here. This game has triggered me into hating Dave & Buster’s all over again. I miss actual arcade games. I miss the 80s and 90s D&B. I’m old. That’s about all the unpacking I need to do. Anyway! The Coin Game from developer devotid and publisher Kwalee has brought back all these bitter feelings about Ye Olden Days. Back in my day, we had actual arcade g...[Read More]
