EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 (PC) Review
Jul 24, 2024
Long before Helldivers II there was Earth Defense Force. Now in its sixth mainline game, EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is, without a doubt, more of the same of its mission-based cuisine. This latest entry in the over-the-top, bug-splattering franchise delivers everything you’d expect and more. It’s a relentless, chaotic, and undeniably fun experience that will keep you coming back for more, even if it doesn’t reinvent the wheel. And for fans of the series, that’s an exceptionally good thing. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 is gigantic alien killing at its absolute finest.
CLICKOLDING Review
Jul 18, 2024
CLICKOLDING exists in a perverse, erotic, and absolutely compelling space. From the moment the game begins to the moment it ends, you’re enthralled with what’s transpiring. CLICKOLDING comes from Strange Scaffold with funding from Outersloth. This game has adult themes and sexual-adjacent material. Even the kerning of the game’s title font suggests something seedy is going on. Strange Scaffold does storytelling like no one else, and this is an uncomfortable one to play; but that’s the point, and I couldn’t wait to see how it ended.
Hot Lap Racing Review
Jul 16, 2024
In what should have been an easy victory, Hot Lap Racing doesn’t manage to earn its nearly forty dollar price tag. Hot Lap Racing certainly features more than hot laps, in fact it has an in-depth career, many single player modes, as well as a multiplayer mode. However, during my time with this game, I waffled between loving and hating this game. This largely has to do with the game’s AI also waffling, but rather between aggressive and incompetent. There’s some neat ideas that don’t come together like they should in a package that should really only exist on Switch, because on PC it is outclassed by so many other games in the space.
Anger Foot Review
Jul 11, 2024
It’s weird to think that I’ve been playing this game for a couple of years now. From its early prototypes to even a more recent demo before getting my hands on the review build. It’s a game I’m so familiar and comfortable with that playing through this again felt like second nature by the end of it. Free Lives doesn’t make the same type of game more than once, and Anger Foot does not disappoint. Anger Foot is a ridiculous premise with a pitch perfect execution that’ll grab a foothold on you.
Tropico 6 – Tropican Shores Review
Jul 05, 2024
El Presidente sets sail in Tropico 6 – Tropican Shores, the latest DLC for the quirky city-builder. This expansion dives headfirst into the ocean, introducing aquatic opportunities and a luxurious lifestyle for your island nation. While Tropican Shores adds some delightful new mechanics and a healthy dose of Caribbean charm, it fails to deliver a substantial wave of content for the asking price.
Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightdeck Review
Jul 03, 2024
By name alone, you might be thinking this is once again my review of the VelocityOne Flightstick, but satisfyingly, the VelocityOne Flightdeck is so much more than what came before it. First and foremost, this is designed for PC only, and won’t work on Xbox or other consoles. Secondly, this is for enthusiasts of flight, combat, and space sims; Turtle Beach calls this an “expert-level device”. Now, I can’t reasonably have experience with every single HOTAS (Hands-On Throttle And Stick) out there, but have used many. what I do know, is that this is Turtle Beach’s best flight apparatus yet, and the VelocityOne Flightdeck should not be overlooked.
Riven Review
Jun 24, 2024
Riven, a game first released in 1997 has finally been given the remake treatment from the original developers. Myst (the prequel game) has been remastered and remade several times since its 1993 introduction, but now it is time for its well-received sequel to shine in a new light. Riven (2024) manages to capture the same wonder and discovery of the original, and really requires no prior knowledge of Myst to enjoy, but is further enhanced by it if you have. The updates, changes, and reimagining towards some of its puzzles put into the Riven remake really make it special and just the hallmark of adventure puzzle games.
F1 24 Review
May 28, 2024
F1 24 is yet another simulated triumph from Codemasters. Formula One is not yet halfway through its current season, and this game couldn’t come at a better time. Formula One is also at its height of popularity as well. Having a game that compliments things so well cannot be understated. F1 24 features a revamped career, an expanded F1 World mode, and lots of longevity built-in. Codemasters have made strides in improving a lot of things that may not be immediately apparent at first sight, but you’re in for a ride with F1 24.
