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
Yakuza Kiwami Review
A Clash of Clans. As with most games, I’m late to the party. Yakuza Kiwami is no different. Originally released in 2006 (at least in North America) as Yakuza, Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of that first game and was released last year. Having never played the original game, I can’t really tell you what … Continue reading Yakuza Kiwami Review
Sony and the Crossplay Conundrum
Why won’t Sony just play ball? Much has been said in recent months about Sony’s unwillingness to allow crossplay with Microsoft and Nintendo’s consoles. Indeed, the fervor over its stance reached a peak during E3 this year when Fortnite players discovered that their accounts made on their PS4’s couldn’t be used on the Switch. Although … Continue reading Sony and the Crossplay Conundrum
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
What Remains of Edith Finch Review
All in the family. Imagine, for a moment, your childhood house and all the people who lived in it. Now, imagine that they all died in tragic ways and, instead of moving their stuff out, their bedrooms were kept the way they were, sealed, and peepholes were drilled into the doors. And on top of … Continue reading What Remains of Edith Finch Review
Minit Review
A delightfully charming, simple game well worth your time. I first heard about Minit courtesy of the great Jim Sterling (thank God for him). I couldn't be happier that it was brought to my attention as it is a fantastic little gem. It served as a nice palette cleanser from big budget AAA games. As … Continue reading Minit Review
