Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has returned! And this time, it has made it to the little system that could, the Nintendo Switch 2. While the system is not as powerful as the Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5/Pro, it packs a bit of a punch with this game. While the game hasn’t changed with story and gameplay, the graphical immersion should have taken a steep drop, considering the hardware. Sur...[Read More]

Something meaningful, obvious in its intentions, and can be easily pulled from to make the right amount of “that’s it!” to the overall experience. Welcome to Tides of Tomorrow.

The joy and torture of those games back in the day relied on rigid controls, unforgivable and...[Read More]

His poor sister’s safety is at stake with the bad men, but Samson is hellbent on doing everything in his pow...[Read More]

It has been about a month since we previewed DAMON and Baby, and we are back with a review of the fully finished game.

The isometric Diablo-wannabe brings some imaginative characters, large-scale levels, and a solid story that pushes it all along. The controls, which we brought up in the preview...[Read More]
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review (PC)
It has been nearly a year since I wrote what I consider to be one super-informative and well-respected review for Death Stranding 2. Okay, only one of those is true. You can guess. Anyway!

As we have over the last month, Digitalchumps has been knee-deep in putting together previews for upcoming Steam games.
