Immortals: Fenyx Rising
Immortals is a rare example of a modern Ubisoft game that I feel like I can fully recommend. It has a fun, colorful open world filled with puzzles and dungeons. It mostly avoids the Ubisoft bloat that plagues most of their games. You can beat the main story in about 20 hours if you mainline…

Mirror’s Edge
Mirror’s Edge holds up today as a solid first-person parkour game. While the brevity of the experience makes it feel like a glorified tech demo, there are innovative ideas here that went on to influence many games like the Dying Light franchise. You play as Faith, she is a runner that is delivering packages in…

Helldivers 2
I am mostly a single player gamer and what I saw of the gameplay of Helldivers 2, it looked like dumb, mindless multiplayer fun. While it does become a little mindless after playing for several hours, I was pleasantly surprised that this game had more depth in its gameplay than I was expecting. The game…

Tekken 8
Tekken 8 is a solid entry in the series that easily has the most content of any game in the series so far. Not all modes are created equal but that is okay, as the core gameplay never stops being fun. Tekken 8 is a game that is easy to play yet hard to master,…

Cult of the Lamb
Cult of the Lamb is a wonderful mix of a city management game and a roguelike dungeon crawler. You are a Lamb that is commanded by the devil(?) to start a cult. The loop consists of randomly generated dungeons where you will find future followers to join your cult as well as materials that will…

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
I am a massive 3D Zelda fan however, I have not played most of the top down Zelda games. With this significant blind spot disclosed I can say that this is a solid, if unremarkable entry in the series. It takes some of the player agency and creativity from the open world Zelda games and…

Still Wakes The Deep
Still Wakes the Deep is a first person narrative horror game. You are a worker on an oil rig and shit is about to go down. Really weird Lovecraftian shit. The game is essentially a cross between a walking simulator and an Outlast like hide and seek game. The Lovecraftian horror is turning all of…

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Full disclosure: I am not a fan of the Avatar films, one could say that I am an Avatar hater, however, I love video games and got this one on sale so I figured why not? What I found was a bland and boring take on the film franchise. Is the world beautiful? Absolutely, however,…

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble
I grew up playing this franchise and this game is a great entry in the franchise that will scratch the itch of anyone that is nostalgia brained for the series. There are 200 hand curated levels here, with the latter 100 providing an intense challenge for even the most seasoned of players. The levels are…

Starfield
Writing a review of Starfield almost feels as much of a slog as it is to play this game. I feel this way because it is difficult to come up with any positive things to say about it. With Starfield, Bethesda seems to forget what made the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series so appealing. Gone…
