Transformers One Review (4KUHD)
When Transformers: The Movie arrived in the late 80s, it was something to behold. It was Orson Welles’ last performance, as he voiced over the vicious and uncaring planet devourer Unicron. It featured the death of a beloved character, which broke the hearts of thousands of fans. It also featured the first time the word ‘sh*t’ had been uttered by a main character in the series, a word that was late...[Read More]
Snow Bros. Wonderland Review (PS5)
The best thing about reviewing games is seeing something that you didn’t expect. My last great unexpected funfest was Simogo’s Sayonara Wild Hearts, a game that was on rails, beautifully written, executed, and accompanied by one of the best video game soundtracks I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. I still play that once a year. It has been out since 2019. Having an unexpected game surprise me is a...[Read More]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review (Xbox Series X)
A couple of years ago when Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was announced with James Mangold directing, it was tough not to think that Mangold had a large task ahead of him. Taking an iconic character and putting together a story that was worthy of the previous entries in the Indiana Jones saga probably came with an ark load of pressure. Satisfying a fanbase that felt scorned from the last fi...[Read More]
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes Review (PS5)
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes from develop Simogo has finally made it to the PlayStation 5. I really enjoyed the creepy Twin Peaks-esque experience on the Nintendo Switch when it released in May, and I’m still feeling the same way this time around. It has a lot of moving parts to it, a ton of puzzles, and just enough uncomfortableness to the story that even David Lynch would get goosebumps from the e...[Read More]
IfSunSets – Early Access Impressions (PC)
It has been an MMORPG type of year at Digitalchumps. This year we have reviewed New World on the PlayStation 5, Towerborne on the PC, and now we’re giving our impressions of the creepy survival and crafting game called IfSunSets. IfSunSets from developer POLYMORPH is an interesting survival experience that relies heavily on your dedication to keeping your character alive, while at the same time sp...[Read More]
Stray Review (Nintendo Switch)
Another year, another Stray drop on another system. Don’t worry, I’m not complaining. At any given point in life, when you can play a video game as a cat, then you should always play that video game. And even though I have played this on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, when the opportunity to play it again on the Nintendo Switch came up, I just couldn’t resist. Can you tell ...[Read More]
LEGO Horizon Adventures Review (PS5)
Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West are two unbelievably good games that brought amazing open-world adventure and a strong lead character to life. Both have been trendsetters for two generations of consoles with the good threat of a third on the…horizon. Puns aside, while we wait for the third to be developed, developers Studio Gobo and Guerrilla have stitched together a go-between game c...[Read More]

Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town Review (PC)
One of the toughest parts of parenting in a video game-driven family is figuring out what exactly is age-appropriate content for your kids. Giving them content that has themes of violence and mayhem, like Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim might prompt some questions and cause undue stress for a young gamer. Giving them something like Tetris might bore the tears out of them (no, seriously), as kids these day...[Read More]
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Review (PS5)
There are a few games that I enjoy going back to regularly and playing through. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one, as I love spending a December being a whack-a-doodle around that landscape. There is something very wintry about its snowy, dangerous environments. Reminds me of Christmas. With magic. The other big one is Horizon Zero Dawn, a game that connected with me the first time around during the ...[Read More]
Unknown 9: Awakening Review (PS5)
In a world with Call of Duty and Spider-Men, where sequels reign supreme, an injection of creativity and newness is sometimes necessary. I love it when developers and publishers invest in new ideas, and even more so when those ideas pan out to something no one knew they needed. Those are good times. I believe that Unknown 9: Awakening from developer Reflector Entertainment Ltd. and publisher Banda...[Read More]
God of War: Ragnarök Review (PC)
Our own Ben Sheene declared God of War: Ragnarök on the PlayStation 5 as perfect, even if it didn’t shift or differ too far away from its predecessor. It brought a solid middle act in a trilogy while adding more depth and context to its characters. While the stakes were bigger, the exploration was certainly more sizeable than the first, in its intentions to fit nicely into place with the first gam...[Read More]
