Resident Evil Requiem Review: Jack of All Trades, Master of Some
I’ve always found it a bit funny that my two favorite Resident Evil games are Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard because, at least for modern Resident Evil games, they might be the two games that are the most diametrically opposed. Biohazard is a first-person game with a heavy emphasis on horror.…

Lovish Review- A Game That I Like-Ish
I don’t know if I’ve ever felt like I needed a “break” from gaming. I love the medium more than any other, and I’m down to play a game pretty much whenever I have the free time. But sometimes, I do need a “break” from the games I’m actively playing. I have played several tremendous…

MIO: Memories in Orbit Review- It’s Not You, It’s MIO
I’ve had several discussions in the past few years about the term “Metroidvania,” and if it should still be how we reference games in that particular genre. The Metroid series isn’t nearly as prolific as it once was, and the Castlevania series has been missing for quite a while (editor’s note: well, not anymore), so…

Ghost of Yotei Review: Avoiding A Nicotine Addiction
I think for many gamers, open world side quests probably look similar to how a fresh pack of cigarettes does for a smoker. You have a couple of them for fun, and then soon enough, you can’t stop. You know that these things are actively making your life worse, yet you continue. As a gamer,…

Despelote Review: A Failure To Capture The Magic Of Sports
Despelote is a game chronicling what it was like to be in Ecuador when they qualified for the World Cup in 2001. It was the first time they had managed to qualify for the biggest soccer tournament that the world has to offer after 40+ years of attempting to do so. The game is autobiographical…

Keeper Review: If I Can Change, And You Can Change…
There was a time in my life when I was very quick to abandon games. If a game had a few hour stretch where it wasn’t clicking for me, I’d be quick to throw it away. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been able to acquire a bit more patience and discipline. Becoming a “game hopper”…

Dispatch Review: The Best TV Show I Watched In 2025*
*I don’t watch TV. As you get older and continue to gain responsibilities in life, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut. Especially as a parent, it’s common to end up in a routine where every single day is the exact same thing, and you go through life working, parenting, eating, and sleeping. Getting…

The Seance of Blake Manor Review: Death Detective
Like most people, I have many concerns about the seemingly rapid advances of AI into our society. One use of AI that has disturbed me the most is when I see people use it to try and essentially bring back the dead. People now have the ability to easily insert a deceased friend or family…

Hades 2 Review: The Best Roguelike of All Time
When people talk about the original Hades, much of the conversation ends up centering around the story. I’m guilty of this as well. But the story in that game was such a remarkable achievement that it’s tough not to. The roguelike genre is one that makes good storytelling seemingly impossible, as the repetition element can…

Hollow Knight: Silksong Reflections and Review- You Never Forget Your First
Back when I was 25, I was enjoying my life in many ways. After some tumultuous times in my early 20s, it felt like everything was heading in a really good direction. I spent several years not exactly sure what I would do with my life after I realized that my college major of journalism…
