Atomic Heart – Review

If there is one game that I’ve had my eye on since it was first announced, it would have to be Atomic Heart by the folks over at Mundfish. With a very Bioshock feel to it, Atomic Heart is set in an alternate vision of the USSR where a scientist

Hogwarts Legacy – Review

I think it’s safe to say, Hogwarts Legacy, by Avalanche Software, is the Harry Potter game every fan of the Wizarding World has been waiting for. Taking place in the 1800s, long before the main line Harry Potter books, you step into the shoes of a fifth-year student who has

The Pioneers: Surviving Desolation – Review

Developed and published by Supercube, The Pioneers Surviving Desolation offers a simple-to-understand, yet challenging survival base-building game. Survival games, in general, are one of my favorite genres. This game is no exception, and even with it still in development and early access, there are some bugs here and there, yet

HEROish (Nintendo Switch) – Review

When I first started playing HEROish, I immediately thought ‘this is a single-player MOBA game’, but it is much more than that. HEROish also has aspects of tower defense and deckbuilding. This is the debut title for developers and publishers Sunblink and it’s a great game to debut with. Starting

Marvel’s Midnight Suns – Review

The Marvel universe has exploded in popularity since the release of Iron Man back in 2008, and while Marvel video games have been around for longer than I can remember, they too, benefited from the beginning of the MCU, but they’ve all been fairly similar in terms of style and

Harvestella (Nintendo Switch) – Review

Eat up to beat up is the essence of the new Nintendo Switch title, Harvestella, from veteran JRPG publisher, Square Enix. The fusion of action RPG and the farm sim trend seems like a promising concept, but there’s definitely room to grow, as was my experience with Harvestella. Your character
