Turnip Boy Robs a Bank Review (PC)
Let me start by saying that the entire concept of the Turnip Boy series is ludicrous and at the same time strangely beautiful. Developer Snoozy Kazoo lives off of crazy ideas and good execution with their Turnip Boy series and gives me hope that when the bigger companies in the video game world collapse, we’re going to be left with the best gaming experiences that we didn’t immediately see. If big...[Read More]

Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen Review
This past summer, Will Silberman went head-first into Final Fantasy XVI and reviewed the absolute hell out of it. He found it to be a rich and perfect experience with a compelling set of characters driving a meaningful story. In my opinion, Will nailed everything great about the game in one long review. Wanting to prolong that experience and give more context to the narrative, Square Enix followed...[Read More]
Palia – Impressions (Nintendo Switch)
We have returned to the wonderful MMO game Palia from developer Singular 6, but this time on the Nintendo Switch. If you don’t know much about this game, you absolutely should. If you don’t want to put that much effort into researching it, then let me enlighten you. Palia is a wonderful MMO that presses you as much as it relaxes you. Led by a quest-based backbone, and a wonderful story to kick thi...[Read More]
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Review
I had no idea what I was getting into when I volunteered for a tribute for this one. Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is a familiar slow burn that takes the structure of hunting Pokémon and applies it to the DQ world. While you might scoff at that notion and ask why it’s necessary for the series to go this Nintendo route, I present a counterargument – why not? Yeah, that was it. Dragon Quest...[Read More]
Little Goody Two Shoes Review (PC)
When you think of Square Enix, you often think of Final Fantasy XVI, Dragon Quest, and a bevy of classic role-playing games. They have a huge history of hits…and then they have little oddities that are satisfying and yet, kind of weird in concept. The latter of the bunch is where Little Goody Two Shoes falls. It’s a game that consists of RPG elements, a dating sim (to an extent), a horror-driven n...[Read More]
World of Horror Review (PC)
Developer panstasz released their terror-filled mystery game World of Horror to the world on October 19th just in time for Halloween. The game is a hodgepodge of old-school concepts mixed with turn-based adventure and a large dose of horror only those who adore The Grudge could truly appreciate. The combination of all these genres and a creepy dose of unsettling imagery makes for a perfect Hallowe...[Read More]
Long Gone Days Review (PS5)
Long Gone Days portrays itself as an RPG about modern warfare and international conflicts. For those of you following the news over the past decade, you’re probably familiar with the subject. Or, you may be slightly aware of international tensions. Either way, what starts out as an international drama turns into a tale straight out of Black Mirror. You follow Rourke, a young sniper of a paramilita...[Read More]
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Review (PS5)
I’m a huge fan of the Dragon Quest series, though I have never dabbled in anything DQ outside of the gaming arena. I think most of the DQ games have consistently delivered a healthy amount of narrative while balancing themselves on good RPG-driven gameplay. In short, I have never walked away from a DQ experience feeling short-changed by it, and I was hoping to keep it that way with Dragon Quest: T...[Read More]
The First Descendant Preview
A week or so ago, we were privy to an early preview of Nexon’s third-person action shooter called The First Descendant. While checking all the right boxes to ensure it’s a grab-a-gun-and-go experience, it goes far deeper than a game featuring a slew of guns and targets to go with them. Initial impressions of it put it somewhere between Anthem if it turned out to be good, and Destiny, where there i...[Read More]
Baldur’s Gate Review (PS5)
About a month ago, Baldur’s Gate 3’s full release made its grand entrance into the gaming scene, but initially, it was only available on PC. The Xbox version hit a snag, experiencing a significant delay, while PlayStation gamers patiently awaited their turn on September 6th. But my eagerness got the best of me, and I decided to invest in Nvidia Geforce Now just to get my hands on this game. ...[Read More]
