Platform(s): Xbox Series (version played), PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: Annual football game from EA As someone who's played a heckaton of football games, the most infuriating part of these games, at least in my books, is the defending. Very rarely do the big two of football sims; FIFA and PES got it right. Missed a tackle? Go...
Platform(s): PC (version played), PS4, Nintendo Switch Genre: Half 2D action game, half god simulator Let's just get this out of the way: on first impression, the 2021 remake of the SNES action game-slash-god-simulator hybrid Actraiser is not a heavenly sight. The pre-rendered graphics just make the look really garish and ugly to look at, with ...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X Genre:Â Action-Adventure, Beat-Em-Up, Detective, High School Setting Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's long-running Yakuza franchise recently released its seventh entry and now even its own 2018 spinoff, Judgment, has received a sequel in the form of Lost Judgment. This game essentially still has a lot of t...
Platforms: PC (version reviewed), PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch Genre: Action RPG brought back from the 2000s era Diablo 2, as well as its expansion Lords of Destruction, is the most influential and most-packed action RPG for the PC back in the day. But to bring it back in its original form, quirks and all (from its punishing learning curve to...
How long has it been since the last Marvel Cinematic Universe movie? Let me remind you: the last official MCU movie was 2019’s Spider-Man Far For Home, so it’s been a whopping two years. That’s the longest period of time we’ve been without an MCU movie since its debut in 2008 (2009 was previously the only year without an...
Platform(s): PC (version played), PS4, PS5 Genre: 3D Platformer with Well-Integrated Asian Influences Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a beauty to look at. It's gorgeous, its vistas and landscapes are a sight to behold, and the main title character and the Corruption enemies she fights are animated just as fluidly and smoothly as a top-tier Pixar and...
It's been a long time coming, but Star Wars has finally gone anime. It took more than four decades but considering that the roots of Star Wars owe themselves essentially a lot of Japanese and other Asian elements. These include Darth Vader's samurai-like design and George Lucas being inspired by Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress (1958), as well ...
Platform(s): Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Platformer with A Few Giant Good Boy Segments 2D indie action platformers are plentiful this year, with one of the best starring a robot ninja. Flynn: Son of Crimson from Studio Thunderhorse (and published by Humble Games) offers the same kind of challenges but in a brighter and more fantasti...
Out of all the DC shows, Doom Patrol has been one of the consistently good ones. It somewhat remains a miracle that it hasn't been cancelled, considering all the bizarre and out-of-this-world things that have happened on the show so far. Doom Patrol Season 3 is the first season of the series to be on HBO Max after moving from the now-defunct DC Uni...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC Genre: Action-Adventure, Indie, Platformer, Deck-Building Elements The main objective of EA Originals is to support creative and unique ideas from indie studios, and Lost In Random by Swedish indie developer Zoinks Games is definitely a shining example of what a successful prod...
Platforms: Xbox Series (version reviewed), Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC Genre: JRPG The more things try to change, the more they stay the same. That's the case with Bandai Namco's Tales of Arise series, the next mothership JRPG series from the Tales team. Even with the brand new coat of paint and art style, not to mention a streamlined battle system,...
Disney's current cash cow plan of retelling tales as old as time (from the 60s onward) with fares like Pete's Dragon to Beauty & The Beast seems to be garnering them a tidy sum, though at the expense of storytelling and film direction quality. The recent retelling of Mulan in 2020 is just above average, but that's being generous knowing that Di...
Platform(s): PC (version played), PS5 Genre: 60s first-person open-ended action game with no quicksave shenanigans After its many lessons with the Dishonored action games, Arkane has figured out a way to make its open-ended first-person action games a bit more challenging and making reactive decisions a lot more meaningful. How? By removing ...
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is more than just a gimmick. It is a near-perfect smartphone. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is a wonderful amalgamation of cutting edge technology, style statement and an awesome throwback to the late 90s and early 2000s. It was a unique point in time when mobile phone makers pushed the limit not only in what a phone was able t...
You've probably seen something like Netflix's Kate several times before. It's another action movie with a badass nigh-unstoppable protagonist going on a killing spree. This movie is clearly trying to be the female equivalent of John Wick, though it never really accomplishes much to distinguish itself. The beautiful and brilliant Mary Elizabeth W...
Platform(s): Xbox Series (version played), Xbox One, PC Genre: 2D platformer featuring music and cosmic escapades One minute you're worried about how your folk song debut in your hometown will turn out as you try to step out of your famous country music-singing uncle's shadow. The next, you end up whisked away by some interstellar rock group le...
Platform(s): PS4 (version played), Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 3D Sonic Game Like most embittered Sonic fans, I myself have a love and hate relationship with Sega's Blue Streak/Blue Blur/whatever he's called these days. I love the 2D games, but I hate the 3D ones. I love the fact that mixing both 2D and 3D styles can lead to magical re...
Platform(s): PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC Genre: Open-World, Top-Down Shooter, Isometric, Classic GTA Homage Veteran gamers will remember the old days of GTA 1 (1997) and GTA 2 (1999) being top-down shooters. While the games industry has since moved on ever since GTA 3 (2001), indie developer Jutsu Games have returne...
Cookie Clicker is on Steam, Yes, the 2013 browser game is now an official PC paid game where all you do is click on a cookie for results. I wholeheartedly recommend it for its price. It's the OG idle/clicker game, now with a revved-up look, that comes with lo-fi music, just one major screen, and a cookie that needs clicking. It's a habit-forming...
Platform(s): PC Genre: Strategy, Real-Time Strategy, RTS, Turn-Based, Historical, Fantasy I have hundreds or possibly thousands of hours across many Total War games, so trust me when I say I'm no newbie to Creative Assembly's Total War franchise (you can even check my Steam profile for validation). I've admittedly always been a fan mostly becau...
