Astro Bot Review (PS5)
It seems like ages ago that we were unboxing the first PlayStation 5 and testing out the many nuances of its controller with a glorified tech demo called Astro’s Playroom. Filled with squeaks and innocent gameplay, Astro’s Playroom may have unintentionally started a need for more of Astro’s adventures and made the small dude an icon for the Sony PlayStation brand. Like, a Crash Bandicoot icon from...[Read More]
SCHiM (Nintendo Switch) Review
I remember a time when I was young enough to believe that my shadow was chasing me around as I ran across the playground. Everyone went through that phase, ya know? We had those periods of lonely creativity where our young minds wandered and created an imaginary world where ethereal beings manifested all around us. It was a simpler time, less burdened with day-to-day concerns like what to eat for ...[Read More]
Berserk Boy Review (PC)
When I saw the initial trailer for Berserk Boy, I immediately felt a sense of familiarity from its 2D platforming, upbeat tunes, and power-swapping protagonist. I was excited for another indie platformer to bring me back to the SNES-era of 2D platforming where I continuously struggled against Mavericks, Dr. Wiley, and platforming gauntlets full of hazards that were a surefire instant death for me....[Read More]
Airhead Review (PS5)
It has been a very long time since a puzzle platformer/metroidvania has had me thinking and obsessing over solutions more than actually playing the game. The last time I felt this way was with the classic 3DO game Another World, where the action was fast and furious, but the puzzles were even more mentally taxing and magnified the richness of the genius gameplay. Believe me, you want games like th...[Read More]
The Last Faith Review (PC)
One of my biggest issues that emerge when reading video game reviews occurs when a reviewer will express disliking a genre, reviewing a game of that genre, and then holding genre-defining gameplay elements as reasons to complain about the game being reviewed. I get it, we can’t expect every reviewer to love every genre, but we should attempt to be fair and as unbiased as possible when assessing a ...[Read More]

Mr. Run and Jump Review
There’s something special about the good old Atari 2600 days, where simplicity was a needed element for new video game players to get into the groove of a budding industry. Having lived through the 80s, simple games made room for big imaginations and good times. That’s the best way to describe how almost every game on the Atari 2600 was built. It relied less on tech and more on gamers to fil...[Read More]

Disney Classic Games Collection (featuring Aladdin, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King)
Disney is a strange company that usually keeps its licenses close to its heart and doesn’t like people fiddling around with them. If you need an example of this, go read the tedious start to Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, who have had, at times, a rough relationship over how IP is treated. Most of the time, it’s with a fine-toothed comb. Sony Pictures struggles at times with keeping fan-accurat...[Read More]
