Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair Review : Blast from the Past

While 2D platformers were once the kings of gaming they’ve long been overshadowed by larger open-world titles, first person shooters, and engrossing RPGs. In recent years, this has led to smaller studios picking up the mantle and leading a renaissance of sorts for platformers which I for one, have thoroughly…

Greedfall Review : Treading Familiar Ground

Let's get this out of the way right at the beginning. Colonialism is bad. Are we all in agreement? Good. Now be warned, Greedfall, the newest release from Spiders (studio), uses colonialism as its setting. If this in any way upsets you, this game is not for you. The backlash…

Blair Witch Review : A Twisted Descent into Madness

As most know, the Blair Witch IP dates back to 1999 when the low-budget movie debuted and took audiences by storm. Since then the franchise hasn't created much that's been memorable, so it was certainly a surprise when we received a trailer for a Blair Witch video game during Microsoft's…

Review : Madden NFL 20

It would be really easy to point you in the direction of last year's Madden review and say "Pretty much the same thing" or "Well, it's Madden". Two problems. First, we didn't do a Madden review last year here at Seasoned Gaming and second, just enough has changed to give…

Review : Blood and Truth (PS VR)

I don't play a ton of VR due to a combination of time (the lack of) and an insurmountable backlog of games. What I have played though, I've enjoyed. When I saw the trailers for Blood and Truth from Sony Interactive's London Studio, I knew I had to give it…
