Teamfight Tactics Set 11: Inkborn Fables (Chumps Preview)

Chumps Preview is a special kind of post where we unofficially preview games in Early Access, Beta, or are otherwise “unfinished.” This kind of preview is meant to be a first impression rather than a definitive review where we provide a rating to determine a game’s value. As such, we fill expect a game covered in a Chumps Preview to have room for improvement, some bugginess/incom...[Read More]

Corponation: The Sorting Process Review (PC)

I love dystopian narratives, be it comedic interpretations of spin doctrine found in Not for Broadcast or the harsh realities of immigration in a war-torn nation ala Papers, Please. They often tug on my heartstrings and my tummy, utilizing a slow burn method of storytelling to turn a small concern into a tummy ache of concerns and anxiety. In these cases, the feelings are real despite the games be...[Read More]

Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story Review (PC)

Bandle City has remained one of Runeterra’s most elusive, yet mysterious lands. While small lore drops and character introductions in League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra have chipped away at some of that mystique, there is still quite a bit players have to learn about Bandle City and its yordle inhabitants. Thankfully, Riot Forge’s Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story has pulled back the ...[Read More]

Ultros Review (PC)

A gigantic tentacled monster floats in between me and my goal – a gestation pod containing a Shaman. I am to destroy the Shaman’s pod so I can continue my journey – to where, I am unsure. But all I know is destroying whatever is in that pod gets me one step closer. I slash the monster a few times before rolling behind it to give it a killing blow. It explodes into a fountain of blood. I walk forwa...[Read More]

Tekken 8 Review (PS5)

Back in 2007, I briefly peaked in the top 100 Tekken 5 players in North America. I was rank 96, to be exact. I start this review off not to brag (okay, maybe a little), but to immediately signal that I’ve invested quite a bit of time playing the Tekken series and learning its intricacies. It’s a series that is dear to my heart despite how much I’ve praised its competitors in some of my other...[Read More]

Phantom Abyss Review (PC)

The early smartphone days of gaming were glorious. Phone games were simpler, far less addled with advertisements, and often killers of battery life. These days, battery life is supposedly better, but mobile games are a smidgen more complicated. If you watch the ridiculous advertisements in-between TikToks, they’re probably more off-the-wall, too. One early game I remember fondly was Temple Run. It...[Read More]

Bahnsen Knights Review (PS5)

I may be a child of the 90s, but I’m familiar with the PC home computer adventure games of the late 80s and early 90s. By that, I mean the likes of text-based games like Oregon Story and Maniac Mansion. These games utilized crude 2D graphics while encouraging players to make simple, often binary, decisions that offered the illusion of branching narratives that often lead to the player’s demise. Th...[Read More]
