Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
As a kid TMNT was my everything. I played most of the games, read a ton of the comics, and watched all the movies. The developers clearly did the same since this is a love letter to the franchise that respects the source material. TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is a nostalgia injected return to the awesome…

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…

Baldur’s Gate 3
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a once in a generation game with a level of quality and innovation that is rare for the video game industry. This is a game that advances the industry and hopefully will influence future video games. I see countless games being marketed as giving the player choice; however, these games mostly…

Metroid Dread
I have always been more of a fan of the Metroid Prime games than the 2D entries of the franchise. Dread was pretty much my first foray into the 2D entries in the series. I came away from the experience mostly positive but also not without frustrations. First off, this is easily the best looking…

Bayonetta 3
While Bayonetta 3 is my least favorite entry in the series, it still provides the over the top action that fans of the series crave. This entry shakes up the formula by adding a new protagonist Viola. Unfortunately, Viola’s chapters are the weakest and she just is not as fun to play as Bayonetta is. …

Vampire Survivors
Vampire Survivors is easily the most addicting game I have played in a long time. The game is an inversion of a bullet hell shooter. Instead of dodging bullets and attacking, you are the one creating the bullet hell. If you are on a controller you need only use the left stick to move. The…

Sifu
Do you like the movie Oldboy? Would you be interested in a game that evokes the best action set pieces in that movie without the incest? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the game for you. In Sifu you are a martial artist on a revenge mission. The combat in…

Pikmin 4
I grew up playing the Pikmin games and I have many childhood memories of playing the games and being blown away at the creativity of it all. Pikmin 4 is a solid entry in the franchise that may be a bit divisive for some fans. This is the most accessible Pikimin and the least challenging…

Dead Island 2
With the rocky history of development for this game I was skeptical that this would be a good game. Thankfully, it indeed is a good game. The game has more in common with the Dying Light franchise than with the first entry in the series. The game is also set in L.A. which I don’t…
