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. …

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…

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…

The Quarry
Supermassive’s output has been spotty, especially with the Dark Pictures Anthology and the recent The Casting of Frank Stone however, when they hit they hit. The Quarry is a strong follow up to Until Dawn. The games are similar, almost to a fault however, Supermassive have delineated the two games by touting that The Quarry…

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…
