I couldn't think of anything clever to write for the subhead so just pretend something witty is written here. I was in the mood for something different the other day and so I decided to try out a game in the Metroidvania genre. The only Metroidvania type of game I’ve ever played is Star Wars … Continue reading Axiom Verge Review

Death’s Door Review
My little crow. I almost didn’t buy Death’s Door. I had pre-ordered the game after seeing its E3 trailer but I got cold feet as the release date got closer. The reason I had second thoughts was that it was looking increasingly likely that Death’s Door was going to be another indie game that embraced … Continue reading Death’s Door Review
BioShock Biased Review
Author's Note: You can find the video version of my Biased Review here. I hope you all at least watch a little bit of it since I believe it is the best video I've ever made. Enjoy! Is a man not entitled? You know, it’s funny when I think about it; I didn’t even know … Continue reading BioShock Biased Review
The Red Strings Club Review
A pixelated cyberpunk adventure that’s well worth your time. Author’s Note: For some reason the game doesn’t let you take screenshots the normal way when playing it through Steam. I had taken a few pictures using my cell phone but they weren’t very good. Consequently, the screenshots are taken directly from the Steam store page. … Continue reading The Red Strings Club Review
Onimusha: Warlords Review
Samurai and demons and princesses, oh my! Whenever a remaster of a classic game releases on modern hardware and is reviewed positively, one has to wonder if nostalgia plays a large part in it. While I believe this does happen sometimes, I can assure you all that this is not the case with this review. … Continue reading Onimusha: Warlords Review
FAR: Lone Sails Review
A thoughtful journey about what we leave behind. FAR: Lone Sails is a lonely journey through a world that is past its prime. You play as a red-clad individual (the game never really specifies if it’s human or not) who must guide a large homemade vehicle through the remains of what once was a highly … Continue reading FAR: Lone Sails Review
Assassin’s Creed: Origins Review
The series takes a few steps towards being an RPG. I feel I must start this review off by stating this simple fact: I haven’t played a single Assassin’s Creed game since the original one released way back in 2007. Some may believe that this disqualifies me from reviewing Origins, but I disagree. I believe … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Origins Review
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Season Pass Review
WARNING: Contains minor spoilers for the main game. Having just finished the Season Pass for Mankind Divided, I wanted to come back and offer my thoughts on all the content contained therein. While the gameplay has stayed the same as the main game (you can read my thoughts about it here), I wanted to discuss … Continue reading Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Season Pass Review
The Council: Episodes 1 & 2 Review
“This Work is Probably a Fiction…” These are the words that appear when you first boot up the game. What these words indicate, right from the start, is that history itself will be this game’s playground. And what a playground it is. George Washington, Manuel Godoy, Giuseppe Piaggi, Johann von Wöllner, and even Napoleon Bonaparte … Continue reading The Council: Episodes 1 & 2 Review
Thimbleweed Park Review
I really, really wanted to like this one. I must be honest and say that I hesitated to write this review. I hesitated because many people have fond memories of point ‘n click adventures games made by Ron Gilbert. In fact, many people say that his past games Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey … Continue reading Thimbleweed Park Review
