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…

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. …

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…

The Last of Us Part 2 (Minor Spoilers)
Oh boy, how do I review this game without starting a flame war? By starting a flame war I guess. I do not like The Last of Us Part 2 but that is not due to the let’s say the fate of a certain character. Before I get into what I did not like about…

Neon White
Neon White is a lightning fast first person action platformer that will make you feel like a speedrunner. While I am not an anime fan, the visual novel approach to the story is over the top, cheesy, and oftentimes cringy but over time I grew to enjoy it for all of its silliness. If this…

Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy is an underrated and underappreciated game that if you are a fan of everyone’s favorite ragtag crew of space pirates, this is a must play. The game is a cross between a narrative heavy, Telltale like game and a 3rd person team based shooter. As Star Lord, you can only shoot…

Diablo 4
The Diablo franchise is a blindspot for me and the fourth entry is the only game I have played in the franchise. While this may make me underqualified to review this game, I believe it also allows me to separate myself from the online discourse that this game is the worst game ever made. Do…

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon
Armored Core 6 is the first and only game in the series I have played and suffice to say I am now a fan. Since I am new to the franchise, I can’t compare it to the other entries; however, I can speak to what it was like to play this as a newbie with…

Resident Evil 4 Remake
The original Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games of all time and I have beaten it countless times. When I saw Capcom was remaking it, I questioned why since the original holds up well to this day. After playing the remake, I am still not convinced this game needed to be remade. …
