Review : Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader : Deceptis Handheldis

I typically review games on the Switch 2 that I have already experienced because that is the best way for me to compare platforms. But with Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I have nothing to compare it to. Instead, I am left looking at the quality as someone who just decided…

Impressions : Moonlighter 2 The Endless Vault : Shop Til You Drop

RPG was never my main genre as a kid, but when I did play, I was always drawn to the item shops in the various towns my party would visit. I always wondered, though, how the items got on the shelves, waiting for intrepid adventurers to spend their hard-won coin?…

Review : Demonschool : A is for Apocalypse

I thought my school days were over. While I may be willing to learn new things, I lament the fact that none of it has anything to do with slaying demons. Luckily, I can jump into Necrosoft’s latest release, Demonschool, and live vicariously through the characters that inhabit the mysterious…

Review : Dispatch : With Great Power

I’ve been looking for a classic storytelling experience reminiscent of Telltale’s former work ever since their abrupt closure in 2018. While their brand and IP were ultimately bought, they have yet to grace us with any new games. Fortunately for us, the legacy left by Telltale never dies. Dispatch, an…

Review : Possessor(s) : A Devilishly Good Time

At first glance, Possessor(s) appeared to have everything I enjoy in games these days. Developed by Heart Machine (of Hyper Light Drifter fame), this is a side-scrolling, indie Metroidvania experience with a narrative focus and a visual style that is familiar while still feeling fresh. I adore the fundamental elements…

Review : Painkiller : Stuck In Hell

Game studios explore their back catalogue often, either for inspiration or for bringing them back from the dead. Remakes, remasters, and reboots are brought into the conversation of their value as art instead of making something completely new. More than a quick cash-in, true changes into what made a video…

Review : The Outer Worlds 2 : All Systems Go

A sequel is judged in the context of several factors: how well it improves upon the previous entry's systems, where it breaks new ground, and what it ultimately does better. The best sequels are those remembered for their generational impact beyond those limitations. This includes how it expands the franchise,…

Review : Ghost of Yōtei : Rise of the Wolf

Following up one of the most beloved new franchises of the last generation is no small task. Sucker Punch could’ve played it safe and given us another chapter of Jin’s story and called it a day. Instead, they took a risk. A new protagonist. A new setting. A new story…
