I'd like to start this Another Crab's Treasure review with an admission: I didn't know things were so brutal under the sea. Did you know crabs are literally killing each other down there with…

Imagine, if you will, the Mount Rushmore of character action game heroes. If it were up to me, we'd have 2B from NieR: Automata, Dante from Devil May Cry, and Raiden from Metal Gear as the first…

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a new title from Rabbit and Bear Studio, a studio formed by game developers and artists who worked on the original Suikoden titles. Hundred Heroes itself is a…

If you could pigeonhole any publisher, it would be Whitethorn Games. A catalog composed of cottage-core and kitschy chronicles of ordinary people doing (extra)ordinary things, whether it’s the…

Appropriately enough, Open Roads has traveled a long and winding path to launch. Revealed in 2020, the road trip adventure was originally being worked on under the Fullbright name, but then…

Team Ninja is a developer that I’ve become quite fond of in recent years, ever since I tried out the beta for Nioh. They play to their strengths, releasing consistently solid titles with challenging…

The original Dragon’s Dogma was always such an elusive game to me. I never had the chance to play it when it came out back in 2012, but I always held a sort of peripheral awareness that it was…

Discerning horror fans are aware of Alone in the Dark's legacy. The original 1992 release was a pioneer of survival horror, introducing many ideas, tropes, and gameplay elements that would be refined…

While you may be forgiven for thinking that the days of the white-as-the-driven-snow pulp action protagonist are over, our Outcast: A New Beginning Review might make you think twice. If you're in…

Ah, Pandemic Studios. Playing Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection reminds me of its original development studio, and how much I adored both this team's work. Known for games such as Destroy All…

Personally, I’m glad wrestling isn’t a tired punchline of “fake-ry" anymore. In the beginning stretches of WWE 2k24, wrestling commentator Corey Graves defines wrestling as an art form, and I very…

Looking back on it now, Sonic Mania really was a minor modern miracle. Spearheaded by Christian Whitehead, it has revitalized a franchise that’s now seeing a more consistent graph of quality, and for…

Having some experience with the first Helldivers, I thought I knew what I was getting into when I downloaded Helldivers 2. It wasn't until I called in a Napalm strike on an enemy position and…

Without Nightdive Studios, it's a fact I wouldn't be as big of a boomer shooter fan as I am today. The work they do to make the inaccessible, well, accessible is an insane feat of game development.…

Four years ago players were welcomed back to the world of Final Fantasy VII with the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake. Telling only a third of the epic tale of Cloud Strife, fans were lovingly…

As I set sail in Skull and Bones I am reminded of many experiences. There is a vague glimmer of the remnants of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag here occasionally, but most of the time I recall a lot…

There's a moment during Foamstars' introductory tutorial wherein your instructor, Bublo Espuma (see what they did there?), says "this isn't like other games". This wouldn't be a Foamstars review if I…

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden continues developer Don't Nod's history of ambitious interactive narratives. It is a refinement of the team's character-driven thematic storytelling while still…

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…

The Ace Attorney series of games has long been popular since their debut on Nintendo handheld systems. As a series of visual novels centered on the courtroom experience, they’ve always been highly…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Spider-Man is in his prime at the moment. There are successful movie runs in both live-action and animation, an excellent game series... and let's not talk about the comics. With Marvel's Spider-Man…

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…

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…

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:…

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…

Infinity Strash: DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai is just one of the many Dragon Quest titles that players can get their hands on this year. Based on the 1989 manga, this adaptation of Dai's…

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…

Eternights is a game that wears its inspirations on its sleeve. A mix of Devil May Cry, Persona, and a lo-fi dating sim. It's a mix that kind of works, despite some unrefined elements. Our Eternights…

2023's been a very good year for games. From Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, to Baldur's Gate 3, to the recent Armored Core VI. Amongst these giant AAA is the indie I've been anticipating for…
