Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator Review
Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator has no qualms readily identifying its goals to players. This is not an entry in the simulation genre meant to dissolve players’ time into crystalline tasks of micro-management. In the past handful of years, simulations seemed to have undergone a sea change in their ability to produce meme-worthy content. Perhaps one of the most noteworthy is Powerwash Simulator,...[Read More]
Gangs of Sherwood Review
One benefit of cooperative play is that we can often ignore certain pressing issues which affect the quality of an otherwise lackluster game. When you’re goofing off with friends engaged in the chaos of multiple combatants delivering flashy, devastating blows to a screen full of fodder, you often don’t notice grueling difficulty spikes. When playing solo, enemies can easily gang up on ...[Read More]
Nacon Revolution X Pro Controller Camo Review
Pro controllers are a luxury for most players since their price points are well above the normal asking price of a first-party default controller. Despite their higher-than-usual price point, pro controllers are literally built different, containing better-quality parts and having additional features for more specialized gaming needs. If you’re afraid of the omnipresent concern of stick drift that...[Read More]
RoboCop: Rogue City Review
RoboCop: Rogue City does not allow players to jump. For about an hour I would tap the X button on my DualSense trying to get former all-human cop Alex Murphy to hop over a railing or jump over a barrier. The simple act of jumping and mantling is such a creature comfort in any game that it was a shock to the system having the ability stripped from me. Despite the fact that I was a robot cop, likely...[Read More]
RIG 900 MAX HX Headset Review
If you’re in the market for a $250+ gaming headset, you’re probably in the market for something that excels in just about every way a headset should function. It should sound fantastic. It should feel fantastic. It should at least last all day of heavy use. It should feel like it can hold up after months of use. It should give you the power to customize it as you wish. If you’re looking for just a...[Read More]
RIG 600 PRO HS/HX Headset Review
Let’s be real, most of us here probably have multiple devices and/or consoles, be it a phone, laptop, desktop, tablet, Nintendo Switch, PS5, XBOX Series X|S, or a combination of the above. We may also have a different headset for each device because of various compatibility issues and/or lack of connectivity across platforms. So, when a headset comes my way in the ~$100 category that plays nicely ...[Read More]
Ad Infinitum Review
Ad Infinitum was its most terrifying when the grotesque monsters took a backseat. Horror games lately are laser-focused on delivering their scares through psychological roller coasters. Questioning what’s real and what is the character’s mind chipping away at feelings of guilt or regret has replaced running from deadly claws and fangs. Part of me felt that Ad Infinitum was trudging thr...[Read More]
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong – Review
Way back in the 90s, it was the bee’s knees to play role-playing games. I can’t remember the exact year that actual DnD games were brought back into prominence, but Vampire: The Masquerade caught that wave and never looked back. I faintly remember the hardback book for it and how cool it was at the age of 18 going through stories with friends and rolling the die. There was so much background to th...[Read More]
