Have you ever wanted to be in two places at once? We’ve all been there—and Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior cranks that idea up to 11, literally. This debut title from Sand Door Studio combines…

If you asked me what Granblue Fantasy was before December of last year, I wouldn't be able to tell you anything. It was after the release of the stellar Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising that I…

It gets to a certain point in a long-running series where the latest entries stop resembling the originals. Luckily, that’s not an issue Like a Dragon has to contend with because it would be…

Prince of Persia hasn’t been in the limelight for years, with its last mainline entries barely making a splash (Forgotten Sands, indeed). Thankfully, The Lost Crown brings it back to the forefront…

The thing I love about remasters for old-school shooters like Quake II and Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is that I'm able to play these titles without having to jump through hoops for them to…

There’s a certain novelty to pinball tables that always outweighs the potential of pinball itself. Quick tie-ins to popular IPs, voice clips from said IPs characters that are semi-relevant to the…

With the outstanding success of Frozen District’s 2018 game House Flipper, it seemed almost inevitable in this era of HGTV and makeover mania that a sequel would get developed, after a gratuitous…

The world of Pandora has been a place people have yearned to visit for a decade and a half. While gamers got a chance to visit it in 2009s video game movie tie-in it's only this year that the world…

When it comes to city builders, I’m a bit picky about the games I play. Cities: Skylines is a bit too time-consuming and meticulous for my liking, but Dorfromantik is a pretty puzzle-builder that you…

Since the inception of the SteamWorld universe, we’ve been treated to games across different genres, such as SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Quest. Thunderful now explores the City Building genre with…

When it comes to the FPS branch of roguelikes and roguelites, you won’t find a universally praised title in the same way you would for say, a dungeon-crawling roguelike, or a deckbuilding roguelite.…

Cozy games have been experiencing a bit of a renaissance lately, and our Spirittea Review should make it pretty clear that they’re here to stay. If you haven’t heard already, Spirittea is a cozy life…

Way back at PAX East 2023, I sat down with publisher Xseed Games to try out this little upcoming game called Cuisineer, all about a girl named Pom who came back from adventuring across the world to…

I confess I am usually not a farming sim person. I don’t like these small town things, and something like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon usually bores me to tears. However, I was enlisted to help on…

To an extent, writing this Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name review feels unnecessary. The game feels less like a fully-fledged Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios title and more like a premium…

Our EA Sports WRC review will let you know what we thought of the latest rallying sim from masters of the genre Codemasters. Codemasters have had a long history with rallying games, and EA Sports…

It took only an hour or so for The Talos Principle 2 to get me hooked. The sequel to Croteam’s 2014 puzzle game promised bigger worlds and notoriously tough brain teasers. For the most part, those…

Both survival games and games based on licensed properties can be pretty hit or miss, and a survival game based on a licensed property is, in my estimation, an even bigger gamble. In our The Lord of…

As climate change continues to be a point of unnerving discussion in regards to the future of the planet and humanity, its stature in video games has always been from the point of integration. There…

RoboCop: Rogue City takes a familiar formula -- cop shoots baddies while looking for clues -- and raises it to new heights by staying absolutely true to its franchise roots. We've covered other great…

When Creative Assembly announced Total War: Pharaoh, many expected it to be the grand return of the big historical Total War games, and sharing that hope, I celebrated. Historical Total War games…

When I talked to Riot Forge Creative Director Rowan Parker earlier this year, he made it clear the publisher wanted to do justice to your favorite champion. He acknowledged that Nunu and Willump isn'…

Alan Wake 2 is easily one of the best survival horror games I’ve ever played. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most problematic that I’ve reviewed. Does that make sense? Well, allow me to explain…

I am sitting down to write this Ghostrunner 2 review mere moments after reaching the game's credits. My mind is flooded with a mix of the euphoric highs of finishing a challenging arcade experience…

Jackbox Games has been a large part of trivia entertainment since the days of the PlayStation. With Fibbage and the Jackbox Party Pack titles they catapulted themselves to become THE party game to…

It’s difficult to approach a Hellboy Web of Wyrd Review. Partially, it’s great to finally have an action game based on Hellboy that wasn’t made before we were allowed more than 20 polygons on screen…

World of Horror is a roguelite horror title inspired by the look and theme of mangaka like Junji Ito. Taking severe inspiration from 1980s horror and computer graphics, how does World of Horror…

In the wake of winter coming thick and fast, it’d be remiss of me to not mention the 2017 adventure game Kona as one of gaming’s most comforting winter wonderlands. A wholly original adventure game…

Writing a Wizard With A Gun review is difficult. In many ways, you get exactly what the title says. A novel spin on a sandbox survival experience like Valheim or Ark: Survival Evolved, just with…

2021’s Hot Wheels Unleashed was a fun-filled racing game that brought the toy race tracks of your dreams in game form. It hit the nail on the head with its selection of true-to-toy diecast cars and a…

Sonic Superstars has a lot to live up to. Fresh off the well-received reinvention of 3D Sonic with 2022’s Sonic Frontiers, Superstars is the blue blur’s next outing in a strictly 2D adventure. The…

Any Lords of the Fallen review should, by rights, begin with its somewhat troubled development cycle. This game has been through a lot; it began life as Lords of the Fallen 2 in what feels like a…

Every now and then, you get a puzzle game that perfectly uses the gaming medium to create a whole new kind of puzzle that’s as engaging as it is clever. I didn’t plan to write a Cocoon review, but…

There's nothing more heartbreaking than finally getting your hands on a game you've been waiting a long time for -- one you wanted to love -- only to find it's not as great as you expected. Everyone'…

Assassin's Creed is celebrating its 15th anniversary with the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage. Mirage might be a smaller adventure but it returns to the gameplay formula of pre-RPG Assassin's…

Despite a rather tepid stack of releases last console generation, I still have a soft spot for the Motorsport line of Forza games. While Forza Horizon has dominated the market with its perfect mix of…

Like many of us, I played Hades (our Game of the Year in 2020) and absolutely loved it. Seems like a no-brainer to try to make some of that magic on your own, which is exactly what Knight vs Giant:…

What would you get if you put Studio Ghibli, Pokemon, and Stardew Valley in a blender? Probably something like Moonstone Island, the newest offering from developers Studio Supersoft and publisher Raw…

For the past two weeks, I've only played one game, and that's Fate/Samurai Remnant. Okay, that's not so unusual for a video game reviewer, but I like to have at least one other game on to play as a…

Silent Hope has a strong opening, with a straightforward premise and approachable controls. It effectively points you at a target and says, “Go!” all while lulling you in with its charming chibi…

I felt a bit of trepidation prior to writing our Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty review. Partly, it’s due to how the base game was mired in a lot of controversy during its initial launch three years…

I'd like to begin this Lies of P review by asking the following question: what other classic works of literature would make good Soulslikes? Could you imagine Pride and Prejudice's Elizabeth Bennet…

It's hard to describe I Doesn't Exist. It's a text adventure, but so much more. It's a dissection of mental health, but I'm sure it can also be interpreted in many different ways too. It's certainly…

You usually know what you're getting when you play a Farming RPG. Fae Farm subverts many of those expectations with surprising innovations and fewer management annoyances -- but as this Fae Farm …

Starfield feels like a game that people have been waiting a long time for. Waiting, in the sense that it’s been ages since Bethesda has put forth an original IP outside of the world of Elder Scrolls…

It's a little difficult to write a Trine 5 review without essentially rehashing reviews of the previous games. In other words, Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is very much not looking to rock its…
