3000 Scoundrels Review
New and flashy board games these days typically come with a level of complication to them. When we reviewed The Lord of the Rings board game a few months back, it was complicated to learn, tough to master, but one helluva ride as good board games go. That is still the peak of complicated board games for me. This week, Asmodee and Unexpected Games are set to release a complicated masterpiece called...[Read More]
Deathloop (Xbox Series X) Review
We are revisiting Deathloop, but this time on the Xbox Series X. A small disclaimer before we begin. While I cannot fathom ever having a write-up like Ben Sheene’s original Deathloop review, I do have some notes to add for this newly released XBX game that was an exclusive on the PlayStation 5. I have purposely gone into this game without playing it on the PS5, and I must admit that Ben hit the na...[Read More]
ROCCAT Vulcan II Mini Keyboard Review
Wayyyyyy back in the day, I was taught to type on IBM typewriters, something most kids these days couldn’t identify in a keyboard line-up (why would you want to identify it? No idea). When I transferred high schools and moved to Maryland, I learned to type on the Apple IIe. It was a remarkable transition from a typical electric typewriter that led me to love typing. I was just testing the waters w...[Read More]
Zombicide 2nd Edition Review
We are back with another board game review here at Digitalchumps, as our board game gaming keeps on rolling. This time around, we’re fighting zombies in a complicated, yet charming go-around with Zombicide 2nd Edition. While it’s a game that can be played by two players, the best way to truly play it is with up to six friends. There’s chaos, zombie extermination, looting, and making some hard deci...[Read More]
Soulstice Review
Soulstice from Reply Games Studio was released for the PC this past week and a few things were added, but not a lot of gameplay design changed since our preview last month. That isn’t a bad thing, as it shouldn’t be expected to have changed in a small timeline. Related, my opinion of the game hasn’t shifted too far from my second preview. The game is gorgeous, it has a strong set of characters and...[Read More]
Omega Strikers Preview
Last week, we were invited to check out Omega Strikers from developer Odyssey Interactive. We were promised that it would be the next big thing in competitive gaming, and right now they’re off to an interesting start. Omega Strikers is a 3v3 competitive game that is a little bit of air hockey mixed with a lot a bit of Windjammers (SNK). Sprinkle in a tad bit of Disc of TRON on top and you have one...[Read More]
Long Live the Queen Review
Ratalaika Games put together an interesting simulator/Choose-Your-Own-Adventure narrative-driven game with Long Live the Queen. You get to essentially raise and educate a young soon-to-be Queen in the art of everything. The joys of this game are the specific attributes you work with to develop the queen the way you see fit. The less-than-joyous parts of the game are the number of unpredictable sce...[Read More]
Circus Electrique Review
This game is a lot to unpack. It took an incredible amount of time to understand the initial structure of it to the point where I could see the bright spots, as well as the ‘needs improvement’ places in the design. The game does a great job of juggling quite a few gameplay design details and requires a lot of thinking on the part of the gamer. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just means that...[Read More]
RiotPWR Cloud Gaming Controller Review
Thank you, good folks, at RiotPWR. Thank you. You have listened to my gripes and have come through with one of the more perfectly crafted mobile cloud gaming controllers. The RiotPWR Cloud Gaming Controller is not so much a technological marvel because of its software, rather it is a technical marvel because of its hardware. From the moment you pull it from its packaging, you will notice that this...[Read More]
