Kirby Star Allies Review
Platform: Nintendo Switch Kirby’s often played second banana to the major pillars of Nintendo’s major franchises. The Pink Puffball generally sees more releases on a Nintendo platform than most of their others do, but the not completely incorrect perception of the series being easy often has great games that break the Kirby mold like Kirby and […]

Harvey Birdman Review
Platforms: Playstation 2, PSP (reviewed), and Wii It’s a little strange for me to think of Harvey Birdman as retro, but this game came out in 2008. 2008! The Wii and PSP were still current platforms back then. While it might seem an odd choice to kick off this endeavor, I felt like playing an Ace Attorney […]
Coffin Dodgers Review
Platforms: Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One If the Grim Reaper himself came to you in the middle of the night and told you that you only had three days to live, what would you do? If your first instinct wasn’t to soup-up your Rascal scooter and draw up a contract to […]
Destiny 2 Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One Destiny 2 is Destiny with confidence. The first game, while mechanically sound, was plagued by poor design decisions and an oppressive level of grinding in the endgame. It was a full year with the release of The Taken King expansion that the game started to realize its […]
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Vita, and Windows Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is the latest entry in the now 30 year old series. If you’re unfamiliar, Ys is an action-RPG series that’s largely known for its snappy combat and kickass soundtracks. While this is Ys’ first step into 3D, Falcom has had experience in making […]
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Microsoft Windows Certain games come along at the right time in life and click with you when they may otherwise not have. While it may be a rare occurrence for some, I think this fact is true for everyone, as a game you love now is something you may have been […]
Observer Review
Platforms: Playstation 4, Windows, and Xbox One (reviewed) Observer is a sci-fi horror game that takes inspiration from Bloober Team’s previous effort, Layers of Fear, and adds in the dirty, futuristic feel of Blade Runner. Its attempt to make a connection with the sci-fi classic becomes apparent as soon as you learn that the Rutger […]
Mononoke Forest Review
Platform: Nintendo 3DS Mononoke Forest, as the name might suggest, is a game about Mononoke. You might be asking, what are Mononoke? Well, they are little creatures that thrive on making humans happy, collecting “happy orbs,” and trying to create paradise. Unfortunately, not all Mononoke are good, as there is a group of Hazard Mononoke […]
