Cosmic Star Heroine Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed) and Steam Zeboyd Games has long been a developer with much potential and with every release their style and design has improved. I’m excited to say that with the release of Cosmic Star Heroine they have hit their stride and created one the most fun “old school” RPG’s I’ve played in […]
Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King Review
Platform: Windows It’s never a simple process to pin down a game that started a genre. As soon as you think you find one, you hear whispers of something else that’s ever so slightly similar that came before. The video game industry is built upon iteration. While Super Mario Bros. wasn’t the first platformer, it’s the […]
Mass Effect: Andromeda Review
The promise of Mass Effect: Andromeda was that of a bold new take on one of the most beloved series of last generation. After the mixed (at best) reaction to the ending of the third game a new galaxy filled with a fresh cast of characters seemed like the right decision filled with promise. In […]
Night In The Woods Review
Night in the Woods, from developer Infinite Falls, is a game about small-town, post-teens finding themselves. If that sentence immediately turns you off then this might not be the game for you.

It certainly wasn’t the first to touch on it, but what it did to make it successful was take the lessons learned over the decades since and applied modern gaming conventions to it. Alwa’s Awakening […]
Resident Evil 7 Review

The series has never been afraid of reinvention in its now more than two decades of existence, and this is why the seventh entry succeeds. It pulls itself […]
Final Fantasy XV Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed) and Xbox One Ten years. That’s how long Final Fantasy XV has been in development. It has gone through many major changes in the decade since it was originally announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII. A designation as an official numbered entry in the series instead of an offshoot is pressure enough, […]
Mafia III Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 4 (reviewed), and Xbox One Mafia III takes place during the year in 1968 in fictional New Orleans stand-in New Bordeaux. Lincoln has just returned from his time as a special forces member in the Vietnam War and is looking to say goodbye to his loved ones before moving on with hi […]
Necropolis Review
Platforms: Steam, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), and Xbox One The word necropolis should bring fear, dread, or any number of other frightening thoughts to mind when you hear it. I mean, it does translate to “city of the dead.” Unfortunately for Necropolis, the game, it neither lives up to its name nor the games it is […]
