The Callisto Protocol
The Callisto Protocol starts off strong with incredible visuals and a combat system that feels visceral and fun. However, that combat only remains fun for a few hours, after that it completely falls apart and brings the entire experience down. This game is as if the Dead Space franchise didn’t have a sequel that iterated…

As Dusk Falls
As Dusk Falls is an interesting visual novel with a telltale like approach to decision making. The narrative is unique territory for a video game. The game tackles themes that are not commonly explored by video games such as generational poverty and child abuse. The developers here handle these heady themes in a mature, sensitive…

Princess Peach: Showtime!
Princess Peach showtime is the game equivalent of a show like Paw Patrol where, your kids will like it (if you have them) but there is nothing there to entertain you as an adult. As a person in their mid 30’s, I am probably not the best person to review this game as I am…

Warioware: Move It!
Warioware: Move it! Is a return to form for the franchise. The microgames in this entry are fun and quick just like the best entries of the series. This is a great party game that goes toe to toe to the Mario Party franchise and is best played with as many friends you can wrangle.…

Mafia: Definitive Edition
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a from the ground up remake and it looks incredible. The gameplay is a bit dated and simplistic but the story and characters is what makes this game worth a playthrough. The gunplay in Mafia has always been pretty weak and it still is in the remake. The game does have…

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Shadow of the Erdtree is a meaty expansion of the main game with so much content that many other developers would market and sell it as a sequel. Disclaimer: in order to play this expansion you have to have already defeated Radahn as well as Mohg. Once you defeat these bosses you can hop right…

Elden Ring
What can I say that hasn’t already been said about Elden Ring? Not much probably however, this is the first game in the souls series that has grabbed me. I have always been scared away from the narrative surrounding the souls games. Everything I saw about it was that these were crushingly difficult games. I…

Immortals of Aveum
Immortals of Aveum is a first person shooter only instead of guns you are using spells. The spells feel like guns more than actual spells. For example, green magic is your machine gun and red magic is your shotgun. It isn’t very creative and I can’t help but feel like they missed an opportunity to…

Sonic Superstars
I was hyped for Sonic Superstars. The art style looked great (it does) and it looked like a return to form for the mainline 2D sonic games. I hate to say that this is easily one of the worst 2D sonic games ever made. Like the original Sonic the levels are constantly stopping your momentum…

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
Ninja Theory knows how to make fun combat systems that are satisfying and have mechanical depth. This game is no different and uses the job system from old Final Fantasy games as a way to provide you with a surprising amount of combat styles. Where the game fails is its approach to itemization which almost…
