Deadzone: Rogue Review | Void Slayer

Alone in the Dark Review | Darkness Reimagined

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Review | Worth Enduring
I often like to begin my reviews with context, as it’s important to understand what I’m about to say. My experience, or, in some cases, lack thereof, informs the reader about what kind of critique they’re about to read. For example, for…

The Alters Review | Divide and Conquer
Upon starting The Alters, I had no idea what kind of experience I was in for. Coming from 11 bit Studios of This War of Mine and Frostpunk fame, I expected some tough choices and resource management gameplay. What I got was a sci-fi survival journey…

Kaya’s Prophecy Review | Limited Prophesied Enjoyment
The 10 hours I spent in Kaya’s Prophecy marked my first foray into the card battler genre. I had never been drawn to the dizzying complexity of Mega Crit’s Slay the Spire and its 700+ synergistic cards, nor had I dabbled in the more modest, yet…

Spray Paint Simulator Review | Not the Right Shade
My experience with the simulator genre does not run deep. However, it does span across Power Wash Simulator (PWS) and House Flipper 2, both of which are similar to Spray Paint Simulator from North Star Video Games. The concept is simple and familiar; you…

Anyone who was in school in the early 2010s (and had access to a mobile device) might remember a game called Into the Dead. Released in 2012, the game was a first-person endless runner where you dodged fields of lingering zombies, picking up crates, and…

Avowed Review | On Strange Shores
I want to start this game review by talking about reading. Over the last few weeks, I have been reading a certain book. Its name is not important, but getting through it has been a slog. So much so, in fact, that I sort of just felt that it was the…
