Fear the Spotlight Review (PS5)
When the spooky season arrives each year, I forget how much fun it is playing creepy, suspense-filled horror games that add to the ambiance of the season. The safe bets are usually Resident Evil titles or maybe even Phasmophobia. This year, there has been a large influx of creepy games hitting the digital shelves, which makes the choice of scary-time gaming a bit harder to choose from. One such g...[Read More]
Haunted House Review (PS5)
The graphical limitation of the VCS console back in the 80s was extraordinary, even for the 80s. There were more sprites than specifics, and typically the player had to use their imagination more than not to enjoy the experience. For example, in the game Haunted House, the gameplay featured two empty columns that the player traversed as two large eyes. The game allowed players to go into rooms and...[Read More]
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review (PS5)
Years ago, Ubisoft changed the formula of their hit Assassin’s Creed series which was losing steam when a very broken Assassin’s Creed Unity arrived. Riddled with bugs, boring gameplay, and some mysterious and unjustified lack of a female protagonist, the game was a tough sell to gamers. Ubisoft responded by publishing Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which brought more intriguing characters, a game th...[Read More]

GYLT Review
There are some games out there that are easy-breezy to get through. One such game is Sayonara Wild Hearts, where you start low in a deep depression, and end up pulling yourself up and together. The quick gameplay and gorgeous music make it an easily replayable game that might start as a tough pill to swallow but eventually will go down like a spoon of sugar. And then are games like GYLT. GYLT is a...[Read More]

Disjunction Review
Ape Tribe Games has put a few formulas together in their most recent venture Disjunction. What I thought might just be a simple action/role-playing game has turned out to be far more complicated. Mixing together stealth, action, RPG, and branching narratives has equaled out to a deeper and richer experience that might have some flaws, but certainly holds its own on borrowed ideas. Telling a good s...[Read More]

Wildfire (Switch) Review
I am not good at video games. I sit before you a 29-year-old whose “peak” was either in 2010 when I was the 94th best Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection player (PSP) worldwide for a total of 3 weeks OR in June 2020 when I was ranked in the top 5% of all Team Fight Tactics players in North America for about a month. I mention this not as a way to humbly brag and tip my fedora, but instead to indicate that...[Read More]
