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.

Children of the Sun Review
Apr 09, 2024
What Sniper Elite does best is slowing down the camera and following the trajectory of the bullet towards its destination. Children of the Sun eclipses that series by letting you become the bullet, altering its path, and getting many kills with only a single bullet. This is a tactical puzzle shooter that’s unlike anything else. It’s a game that’s quick to get in to, and doesn’t take too long to get great at. Children of the Sun is a revenge tale at its core, but a stylish one at that where the bullet is the star.
Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition (PC) Review
Apr 03, 2024
Horizon Zero Dawn was one of my favorite games of 2017 . The intrigue and mystery while traversing Colorado and Utah over one-thousand years into the future while fighting dinosaur robots was an absolute gem of a game. Horizon Forbidden West released onto PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in February of 2022 by Guerrilla Games. Now two years removed from the sequel’s PlayStation 5 debut, comes Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC, with porting gods at Nixxes handling this release. Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition includes the base game and its only expansion, The Burning Shores for an enthralling journey into the west. It’s a game that doubles down on more Horizon , and unfortunately doesn’t have the same motivators that drove you through the first game. There’s lots to love here, especially in its gameplay, graphical fidelity, and environments that PC-only features that make it a worthwhile purchase.
Sons of Valhalla Review
Apr 02, 2024
Sons of Valhalla is a side-scrolling RPG and strategy game set during the Viking Age. To be perfectly honest, the comparisons to Kingdom are unavoidable. Though, this is a game that emulates much of that game’s style and gameplay, but iterates on it in pretty significant and impactful ways. Sons of Valhalla brings a lot of new things to the table such as raiding and a full tactical combat system for your hero, just to name a few. Sons of Valhalla may be historic in setting, but offers a future for these kinds of games that we’re sure to see more of.
WWE 2K24 Review
Mar 21, 2024
If you would have asked me in 2019 how popular Cody Rhodes would be in 2024, I’d have laughed at you, let alone the surprise that he’d be back in WWE, and on the cover of this year’s game. His meteoric rise to stardom since returning to WWE is nothing short of fantastic to watch. The Rhodes to WrestleMania 40 is where he aims to “finish the story”, WWE 2K24 is a triumphant continuation from where the last game left off. Everything leads us to the Showcase mode, focused on the 40th Anniversary of “the grandest stage of them all” is front and center here, and as a result WWE 2K24 feels prestigious and exciting in equal measure.
Outcast – A New Beginning Review
Mar 14, 2024
Outcast – A New Beginning is the sequel to the 1999 original action adventure. In a lot of ways, the original team at Appeal Studios have made a throwback that is able to introduce new people and welcome back returning players to the series. The inclusion of the jetpack is one of the game’s highlights, and its story and gameplay offers more than enough to see it through. Outcast – A New Beginning is at times janky, it has a lot of charm that’s well worth your time.
