Elden Ring Nightreign
As a massive Elden Ring fan, I have mixed feelings on the experience Nightreign provides as a whole. While I enjoyed my time with it for the most part, once I rolled credits and beat 7 out of the 8 Nightlords, I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. I have yet to return…

Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade is like when your Dad finds the playboys you stole from him under your bed and you respond by saying I read them for the articles! I played Stellar Blade for the in depth combat and over the top spectacle not the egregiously hot protagonist, ok? In all seriousness, Stellar Blade is a…

Rematch
28-94. After ten hours playing Rematch that is my win loss ratio. 28-94. Yeah, I suck at Rematch. Am I as bad as I was when I started? No, not at all and that is what makes this game special. Sloclap knows how to design deep combat systems and their design DNA is all over…

Psychonaughts 2
As a former therapist, I was impressed at how sensitively this cartoony platformer approaches mental illness. Double Fine hired psychologists to help the writers approach these difficult subjects in a mature, informed way and it shows. Like the first game you are entering people’s minds and essentially platforming your way through their traumas and insecurities. …

Resident Evil Village
When I first saw the reveal for Resident Evil 7 and saw that they were moving to first person gameplay, I was skeptical. Once I played it, I thought the choice to move to first person was a great idea and it helped the game to be one of the scariest entries of the series. …

Mortal Kombat 1
Mortal Kombat 1 is a disappointing entry in the semi reboot formula that started with Mortal Kombat 9. At the end of Mortal Kombat 11, the timeline essentially ends. Mortal Kombat 1 picks up the storyline in an alternate timeline with iconic characters that are younger. This way of alternating and exploring these iconic characters’…

South Of Midnight
South of Midnight is easily the most beautiful and unique game of the year. The stop motion like art style is truly amazing and I found myself stopping and just looking around at the environments and soaking in the vibes of this southern gothic world. Hazel is a likable protagonist that has a strong motivation…

Silent Hill 2 Remake
I have never played the original Silent Hill 2 so I can only critique what I played in this remake of what I’ve heard is a classic. Having played this remake, I completely understand why the original is so beloved. Silent Hill 2 Remake has an incredible, emotional, mature, and disturbing narrative that is absolutely…

Doom: The Dark Ages
Are you ready to rip and tear? If so, I am happy to inform you that this entry in the series provides that same power fantasy that the other previous games in this reboot trilogy provides. This entry distinguishes itself from the others by making you feel like an unstoppable tank that is blasting around…

Halo Infinite
I am a huge Halo fan. I remember going to my cousin’s house when I was young. He had an Xbox and Halo, we played it together, I was blown away and I immediately went home and begged a parental unit to get me an Xbox. They did and my life long love affair with…
