RetroRealms – Halloween and Ash vs. Evil Dead Review (Xbox Series X)
There was some charm that existed within 16-bit side scrollers. These types of games were very identifiable to the 90s gaming era and usually drove both the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo systems.

Having been a huge gamer from the ...[Read More]
Death’s Gambit: Afterlife Review
When a game has the words ‘challenging’ and ‘deep RPG elements’ in the description, you know you’re in for a ride.
