Review : Apex Legends

In a short period of time, the Battle Royale genre has grown exponentially. What began as an experimental mod has blossomed into games that have become a legitimate cultural phenomenon. Due to the tremendous success of PUBG and to an even greater extent Fortnite, even the world’s biggest shooter, Call…

Review : Resident Evil 2

Very rarely are we given such a treat when it comes to re-visiting games of the past that we hold dear. Resident Evil 2 is certainly one of the very best. At the start of this generation we were given many HD upscales and remasters of games from last generation.…

Review : Ashen

Released last month, Ashen from A44 Games gained notoriety for its unique art style and souls-like design. After spending time with the title, both for Backseat Gaming and afterwards to complete my playthrough, I've really enjoyed my time with it. First things first, the game does use the "Souls" formula.…

Review : Gris

Indie games seem to be a dime a dozen these days. That's not a bad thing necessarily, options are what keeps our hobby alive and kicking. The problem is, it takes something special to make people take notice. In 2018, we seemed to see a rise in the quality of…

Review : Just Cause 4

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, there's probably a good chance it's a duck. Just Cause 4 is said duck. The follow up to 2015's Just Cause 3 picks up right where it's predecessor left off, in more ways than one.…

Review : Super Smash Brothers Ultimate

Since the early 1980’s Nintendo has introduced many franchises to people of all ages. In 1999, we received Nintendo’s first fighting game which brought so many of their famous characters to the ring. Sure, the game hasn’t really changed from the objective of “smashing” your opponents off the stage, but…

Review : Red Dead Redemption 2

In my 36 years of gaming, there are but a handful of games that elevate themselves so far beyond other titles of the same time frame, I forever place them on a pedestal. After more than 130 hours of residing in the greatest game world ever developed, Red Dead Redemption…

Review : Hitman 2

The Hitman franchise has always been hit or miss for me (no pun intended). While I've always loved the premise, the execution (geez, this might be difficult) wasn't always sound. However, with the release of the rebooted Hitman on current generation consoles in 2016, the series stepped into entirely new…

Review : Beat Saber VR

I'm tired. Not from lack of sleep or because I overindulged in Thanksgiving dinner, which I did. It's because of Beat Saber, the new PSVR game from Hyperbolic Magnetism. Originally released earlier this year on Steam, it's finally made its way to the PlayStation. The game challenges you to slash…

Review : Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Going into Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, I had tempered my expectations based on what I saw prior to release. Much to my surprise, it surpassed nearly every one of them. The combat is smooth, intuitive and brutal. The story was serviceable, what I’ve come to expect from Assassin’s Creed games, but…

Review : Super Mario Party

I'm sitting here with my family on a giant interactive game board game playing as, of course, Bowser. Roll my dice. 10! I'm going to own this game! Let's check my choices. One route, unlucky space. No thank you. The other route, unlucky space. Crap. And so it goes nearly…

Review : Shadow of the Tomb Raider

I was never the biggest fan of Tomb Raider in its PlayStation heydays, but when the reboot released in 2013 I was immediately hooked. The sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider, released two years later in 2015 by Crystal Dynamics was even more exciting. Which brings us to 2018, where…
