The Plucky Squire Review: So Charming That It’s No Longer Charming
One of the worst people that you can possibly come across is the guy who thinks he is funnier than he actually is. Every conversation suddenly becomes this persons attempt at a stand-up comedy routine. They love their own humor a little too much. And maybe this person can be funny on occasion, but eventually,…

Until Then Spoiler Free Review: World Class Ingredients, In The Oven For Too Long
Imagine the best chef in the world. They are on nationally televised cooking shows. If they open a restaurant, it makes headlines. They use the best ingredients that any chef could use. In the end, none of that matters if they leave the meal in the oven for too long. You can do everything else…

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth Review- At A Crossroads Of The Past And The Future
Back in 2019, I thought Yakuza: Like A Dragon was one of the most bold games a long-running series could come out with. At that point, the Yakuza series was purely an action/brawler series with seven mainline games and an absolutely iconic protagonist. Deciding to switch heroes and go to a turn based RPG system…

GRIS Review: How To Rate True Art?
Sometimes, the absurdity of how most of us handle video game reviews is not lost on me. Imagine an art critic going to an art show and assigning each piece a review on a scale of 1-10. For one reason or another, that doesn’t happen. Perhaps there is an understanding that art is above silly…

Astro Bot Review: Bubble Wrap, Magic Shows, And Core Memories
If you play video games as an adult, odds are you played video games as a child. All gamers have a few games from their childhood that unlock some serious core memories. When you remember those times, you will, of course, remember playing whatever game it is that you are thinking about. But it goes…

Crypt Custodian Review: In The Right Place At The Right Time
Timing is everything. Usually, this has a bit of a negative connotation for video games. I hear many stories about people playing a game that they didn’t love at the time because they just weren’t in the right headspace for it. Oftentimes, after another try down the line, those same people end up loving the…

Cat Quest 3 Review: Cats Have Claws
After playing two good but unspectacular cat games in the past few years (Stray and Little Kitty, Big City), I started to stereotype cat games. If I’m playing as a cat in your game, I started to feel like I knew exactly what to expect. Cat games resemble… cats shockingly. They’re cute and quirky. And…

Star Wars Outlaws Review: The Adventure of a Lifetime… Not Necessarily the Video Game of a Lifetime
Video games are an interesting experience because they are so multifaceted. Playing a video game can at times be akin to watching a full season of a TV show. Sometimes it’s like sitting down and listening to a new album. And the actual video game element can be dramatically different depending on what genre you…

Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus Review- Brilliant and Questionable
The worst scenario you can encounter as a gamer is that gamebreaking bug. The bug that forces you to lose hours upon hours of progress, or perhaps that doesn’t let you complete the game you are playing at all. It’s a rare scenario, but any grizzled vet will have at least one horror story. When…

Mega Gaming Round Up: Star Wars Outlaws, Until Then, Daybreak, Kunitsu-Gami, and Cat Quest 3
Folks, I am pleased to announce that I have been eating good. As usual, I have been game hopping, and I feel like it’s about time to do a big update. It’s been a weird month-ish of gaming for me. Pretty much all year, I’ve been playing at least one game that was an 8.5…
