Zet Zillions Review (PC)
When I first had Zet Zillions drop on my desk I didn’t know what to think about it. The only roguelike deckbuilder I had really dug into prior to this experience was Balatro. I still can’t play that game because of how addictive it is and because I don’t have the time right now. Anyway, that was the last game of this type I played and it set the bar for how good a deckbuilder could truly be. Where...[Read More]
Balatro Review (PS5)
If you need a reason to stay up late while continually challenging yourself to do better in a game, then developer LocalThunk has a card game for you called Balatro. Taking the simple concept of poker and turning it right on its freaking head, LocalThunk has put together a ridiculously addictive gaming experience that I literally had to pull away from to get this review done. I can’t say that abou...[Read More]
3000 Scoundrels Review
New and flashy board games these days typically come with a level of complication to them. When we reviewed The Lord of the Rings board game a few months back, it was complicated to learn, tough to master, but one helluva ride as good board games go. That is still the peak of complicated board games for me. This week, Asmodee and Unexpected Games are set to release a complicated masterpiece called...[Read More]
The Quarry
The Quarry is not only Supermassive Games’ best game since Until Dawn, but it’s also their most replayable game. Each playthrough consistently hits the 8-hour mark, The Quarry is fast-paced, exciting with every new reveal, and violently horrifying. Boasting the best performance capture and actor performances to date, Supermassive has been able to weave a story that kept me engaged on every level, ...[Read More]
Where Cards Fall Review
As a kid (decades ago), I used to build structures with playing cards more often than using the cards for their intended purpose. I think the biggest structure I ever made was four-tiered. The adventure of building and developing new ways to use those cards in a structured way was always fun. Now, as an adult with shaky hands and a bajillion kids, the luxury of doing such a thing has long since pa...[Read More]
Ring of Pain Impressions
Oh, wow. Yeah. Ring of Pain is an odd bird, and I’m not just talking about the big yellow owl with a human body that is stretched across the screen like something out of a nightmare. It’s a card game that takes the genre, shakes it up a little bit, then places it nicely in a horror-driven circle of never-ending painful dreams the will just rain down on you endlessly. Also, there is strategy involv...[Read More]
Blood Rage (Digital Edition)
I’m uninformed. Yeah, I know. You’re reading that and thinking, “Well, I’m glad he wrote this review.” — end sarcasm — I’m glad I wrote this review, but I’m uninformed. Uninformed in what, you might ask? I’m uninformed of the fact that Blood Rage was an actual board game. I had no idea that this was played and has been played since 2015. It makes complete sense considering how the game is played i...[Read More]
