Chorus: Imaginative and Glorious Space Combat – PS5 Review
For a long time, I have been searching for a great space combat game. Many years ago, I absolutely adored Colony Wars and its sequels on the original PlayStation. Sadly, nothing has since scratched that itch or matched the excitement I had with that series. After witnessing the Chorus trailer, I was understandably excited. It…

Monster Rancher 1 and 2 DX: A Faithful Remake – Switch Review
Monster Rancher is something of a unique franchise. While never widely popular among mainstream audiences, it garnered a pretty decent cult following. I religiously watched the anime on Saturday mornings and played the first game on the PlayStation. To learn that a remaster of the first two games was coming made me feel like I…

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Perfect Execution – PS4 Review
Since the dawn of the gaming industry, games based on comic book properties have always been there. Some have been truly amazing like Insomniac’s Spider-Man but others have been less than great like Marvel’s Avengers. When Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy was first announced, I had feelings of both excitement and apprehension. Having a game…

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm: A Truly Surreal Nightmare – PS4 Review
Happy’s Humble Burger Farm – which is appropriately a mouthful of a title – is an incredibly stressful horror game. While technically a sequel to the wonderful Happy’s Humble Burger Barn, Happy’s Humble Burger Farm can be enjoyed as a standalone experience. However be warned as it will leave you stressed, anxious, and suffering nightmares…

Undungeon: A Brutal Power Fantasy – PC Review
While the list of games I love is quite hefty, I hardly find one that earns the title of being a favorite. Occasionally, I wonder if my interest in both games and their design has made reaching a state of flow difficult. I find most new gaming ventures become a balancing act between pure escapism…

Jurassic World Evolution 2: An Addictive Park Sim – PS5 Review
Dinosaurs have always been a passion of mine ever since I was a kid. Every day, I’d wish that dinosaurs roamed the earth so that I could go ride on the back of a Pterosaur. As I grew older, I realised that it could never happen; especially after watching Jurassic Park. However, I always thought…

Graveyard Keeper: Managing The Dead With DLC – PC Review
Developer Lazy Bear Games has dug six feet deep with the DLC in management sim Graveyard Keeper. Playing it for the first time with so much content was certainly overwhelming at first as minimal direction is given for how to proceed. However, while these early uncertainties were initially frustrating, once I sunk my teeth into…

Blue Reflection: Second Light – PS4 Review
When the original Blue Reflection launched back in 2017, my brothers joked it was the perfect game for me. It was a JRPG featuring an all-female magical girl cast that was about feeling your feelings. It felt like it was made for me. The gameplay was a culmination of perfected JRPG conventions that created a…

Mario Party Superstars: A Nice Walk Down Memory Lane – Switch Review
The Mario Party franchise has invaded my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, Mario Party was a staple addition to my everyday life. After school and on weekends, I’d play any chance I could with my sister. The previous entry in the series, Super Mario Party, felt like it didn’t propel…

Animal Crossing New Horizons: Happy Home Paradise DLC – Review
Admittedly when Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer came out on the 3DS, I wasn’t the biggest fan. I’d only started playing the series at New Leaf and hadn’t committed enough time to it to really have enough furniture to design my house nicely. So I picked it up excited for a new island to design…

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One: Master of Deduction – PS5 Review
Sherlock Holmes has become the classic go-to for any detective related piece of medium; whether it’s in books, films, or even games. Unfortunately, I didn’t grow up reading Sherlock mysteries, watching related shows or playing any relevant games. The developer, Frogwares, is known to pioneer and stake claim on the Sherlock Holmes namepiece in the…

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water – Switch Review
Although my love for horror games started with the PS1, it truly blossomed with the arrival of the PS2; Silent Hill 2 and 3, Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica, Rule of Rose, and of course, Fatal Frame. I started with Crimson Butterfly, found it amazing, and cycled back to the first game before taking…
