Duelists of Eden Review (PC)

Much of why I, among many other players, enjoyed the Mega Man Battle Network Series is because of how it flipped the script of the entire Mega Man series. Instead of tight platforming, the player was taken along an RPG-path involving teenage protagonist Lan and his digital pal, Mega Man. The player could then take Mega Man onto the “net” (not literally) and battle viruses and other NPCs. The battl...[Read More]

Metal Mind Review (Nintendo Switch)

Several years ago, I became hooked on roguelite games because of how I could pick up and play them in short bursts. Fifteen minutes here, twenty minutes there, five minutes if I was unlucky. That sort of thing. Every run felt different because of the upgrades and enemies I came across, but the core gameplay was familiar enough for me to slowly but surely pick up on its nuances to demonstrate maste...[Read More]

Lofree FLOW Mechanical Keyboard Review

Mechanical keyboards have become increasingly popular amongst PC gamers who’ve sought to level up their spaces while also ensuring that their inputs are registered in a tight and controlled manner. Several barriers impact players looking to switch away from typical chiclet/factory default keyboards, namely price, feel, and use case. Mechanical keyboards are pricy, folks. They have a learning curve...[Read More]

Akka Arrh Review (PSVR2)

Let’s take a walk down memory lane for a minute. Back in 2012, I stumbled across this neon racing shooter game called DYAD. I purchased it for my PS3 because I was heavily into psychedelic and sensory-overloading imagery, seeking the potential rush I got when playing WipEout on my PlayStation. I remember some of my friends saying that the game’s neon imagery combined with its momentum-based puzzle...[Read More]

Berserk Boy Review (PC)

When I saw the initial trailer for Berserk Boy, I immediately felt a sense of familiarity from its 2D platforming, upbeat tunes, and power-swapping protagonist. I was excited for another indie platformer to bring me back to the SNES-era of 2D platforming where I continuously struggled against Mavericks, Dr. Wiley, and platforming gauntlets full of hazards that were a surefire instant death for me....[Read More]

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]
