Serial Cleaners Review
Sep 21, 2022
Cleaners are everywhere, and no I don’t mean the ones doing a legitimate cleaning of crime scenes, it’s – you know – the ones that erase all traces of evidence to avoid incrimination. Entertainment and media has even begun to put them on all full display in recent years. First you’ve got “The Cleaner” nickname that AEW wrestler Kenny Omega has gone by. Then there’s the “Specialized Waste Disposal” crew that comes to clean-up John Wick’s home. Five years after the original, Serial Cleaners is a twist on the stealth genre that elevates everything about the original to be a stellar sequel about cleaning up messes, not making them.
Potion Permit Review
Sep 21, 2022
It feels good to help others doesn’t it? Using the skills you’ve honed to help, just because you can. Watching someone who was just sick and defeated become full of life and joy. Doing good in the world just because you can, hopefully changing the minds of others along the way. Potion Permit allows you to be this person.
Betrayal At Club Low Review
Sep 19, 2022
The things you end up loving the most are usually the ones you know the least about beforehand. That’s the case for Betrayal At Club Low, the first game I’ve played from developer Cosmo D, and the fourth they’ve released. Combining point-and-click adventure games with dice-roll mechanics is a flavorful mix of old and new. In fact, it reminds me of late 90s adventure games where 3D models were becoming more prominent over FMV, and excels in this awkward period of gaming, and embraces it for all its worth. Betrayal At Club Low is a bizarre and eclectic game that I can’t stop thinking about, and am eager to return to for another playthrough.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Review
Sep 15, 2022
What a year for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise in gaming. First, we get the incredible Shredder’s Revenge, and now we get a package of classic TMNT games which a lot of love and attention has been poured into. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cowabunga Collection is what a turtles fan would expect from a collection as full as this one. It is the ultimate nostalgia package.
Isonzo Review
Sep 13, 2022
Isonzo is the third in a series of World War I multiplayer games from Blackmill Games that began in 2015. These historical games shine a light on the dark battles that took place during the 1910s. For the Isonzo River area, twelve battles in two years for the two sides took place, with the Italians winning most of the battles against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Isonzo as a game always impresses both in visuals and gameplay. The tug of war between both factions is evenly matched, offers the most versatility, and makes Isonzo is the best in the series to-date.

Tower of Fantasy Review

Do you like anime? Enjoy playing Genshin Impact? Well, if you like that series but are starting to get tired of Genshin, you may want to try Tower of Fantasy.
Call of the Wild: The Angler Review
Aug 30, 2022
I’m an absolute sucker for fishing mechanics in games. Doesn’t matter the complexity or its depth, I’ll let myself get entirely too invested in what is ultimately a side-activity to a much larger game. I build my houses in Minecraft by an interesting looking water source because I know I’ll be fishing for 90% of my time. I played Final Fantasy XV up to the point that you start fishing and continued to do that, forgoing the rest of the game entirely. Recently I neglected my entire cult of followers to their deaths while I fished all day and all night in Cult of the Lamb. So let me be clear when I say, there is nothing enjoyable about the fishing in Call of the Wild: The Angler. I actually find the game actively “anti-fun”.
Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed Review
Aug 26, 2022
The original Destroy All Humans! really captured the “red scare” of the 1950s so well, and it’s one of those game that’s so novel it sticks with you. By the following year when Destroy Humans 2! released, I had already moved on to the Xbox 360 and never got to checking it out. Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed is a remake of the 2006 game from Pandemic, this time focusing on the 1960s and globe-trotting, offering another raucous ride with Cryptosprodium. So in playing this remake, there wasn’t any nostalgia going into it like I did with the first. As far as I’m concerned, the only “crypto” I want to invest in, is the one you play in Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed.
Like No Other: The Legend Of The Twin Books Review
Aug 25, 2022
There’s always a first, whether it be your first adventure, first game, or even your first adventure game. This is a modernized point-and-click where interactivity is key, but all of your movement is done with key presses or a joystick. Like No Other: The Legend Of The Twin Books could serve as an introduction to adventure games or just games in general. It’s a casual, but thoughtful game that deserves attention and recognition. Whether it was the art or the puzzles, Actoon Studio is as clever as they are brilliant. Like No Other: The Legend Of The Twin Books is a short yet wonderful adventure I hope we get to see more of.
Video Game Fables Review
Aug 23, 2022
Do you want to play a game that is funny, adventurous, and has some crazy plot twists? Well, then, look no further than Fables, as I think that it is just the game for you.
Saints Row (2022) Review
Aug 22, 2022
The 3rd Street Saints have been absent from the scene since their last release, Gat out of Hell, in 2015. Seven years is a long time between some franchises, but with the release of IV and the aforementioned Gat Out of Hell, the reception to the series began dwindling. Not to mention the endings to both games didn’t leave much in the way for a core cast return. So here we are in 2022 and in a prime time for Saints Row to roll out. But in an age where the open-world gang-wars schtick is old hat, can Volition shine up those big ass chains to their former luster?
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered (PC) Review
Aug 22, 2022
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but one of Sony’s best PlayStation exclusives is finally on PC. Marvel’s Spider-Man was released onto the PlayStation 4 in 2018, then Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered was included in the Ultimate Edition of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales when it launched on PlayStation 5 in 2020. This technically makes it the first PlayStation 5 game to come to PC, and it’s another monster hit. It’s been a long time since you’ve been able to play as Spider-Man on a computer, and it’s been worth the wait. Insomniac’s take on this is so brilliant and fun, exploring the duality of Peter Parker and Spider-Man that hasn’t been done before. Like what’s come before it, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is an essential purchase if you’ve yet to try the superb web-slinging for yourself.
ROCCAT Kone XP Air Review
Aug 18, 2022
The ROCCAT Kone XP Air is expensive, and the price tag will be enough to dissuade even the most devoted to stick with what they have or avoid entirely. That said, it’s one of ROCCAT’s best pieces of hardware that’s extremely versatile and retains that ultra-lightweight frame that it’s well known for. It’s a wireless mouse that lives up to its battery life claims, and works as wired mouse in the most dire of circumstances. It’s been five months since I got my hands on the Kone XP, and the Kone XP Air just elevates the mouse game to new heights. ROCCAT’s Kone XP Air is a premium mouse with premium quality for a premium price, and worth every penny.
Cursed to Golf Review
Aug 18, 2022
Golf games, mostly arcade-focused ones will always demand my attention. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everything from Golf With Your Friends to Neo Turf Masters, even PGA Tour 2K21, and everything in-between. Cursed to Golf is yet another golf game with a twist, it’s a dark-yet-humorous take on golf, played in the afterlife to secure your freedom. The result is an entertaining game, full of mixed emotions and numerous minor bugs that hold it back. Cursed to Golf has a great premise behind it, but it doesn’t ace the golf game and am just left ambivalent to the whole experience.
