Leenzee Games has created an ambitious debut that, for all its rough edges, manages to be a solid contender in the Soulslike genre. Atmospheric and challenging, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers captures the essence of what makes these games enduringly popular, even as it struggles with uneven balance, difficulty spikes, and poor...

My Friendly Neighborhood is a creative and memorable adventure that balances its kid friendly exterior with real depth, wit, and polish. While it doesn’t redefine survival horror, it stands as an example of what innovative ambition and personality can achieve in an oversaturated market. Not everything needs to be a...

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is a content rich package that delivers hours of addictive gameplay and arcadey old school fun. Its technical polish, responsive controls, and lovingly recreated levels make it an essential experience for both veterans and newcomers. Yet, the mishandling of Pro Skater 4’s campaign...

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a profound and masterful achievement that blends innovative gameplay, cinematic storytelling, and technical excellence into a cohesive and unforgettable experience. Just like the first game, this full fledged sequel may not appeal to everyone, but the game’s ambition, polish, and artistry are undeniably...

Remedy’s trademark creativity flickers in the margins of FBC: Firebreak but never truly takes center stage. The game’s content is thin, its narrative underdeveloped, and its gameplay loop too derivative to stand out in a crowded genre of cooperative shooters. That being said, there are flashes of fun, but the...

Days Gone Remastered is an easy recommendation for newcomers and fans who missed the original, thanks to its improved visuals, performance, and extra modes. For returning players, the $10 upgrade price is reasonable for the enhancements and new content. However, those who bounced off the original’s slow pacing or lackluster...

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on the Nintendo Switch is a masterful blend of expansive exploration, engaging narrative themes, and refined gameplay mechanics, and it’s about time it made its way onto the Nintendo Switch.

Firaxis Games has laid a solid foundation with Civilization 7, even though there are plenty of things to improve on. It has the potential to evolve into a truly outstanding entry in the Civilization series, but right now, it needs more time to cook in the oven.

Odd Bug Studio has taken the core elements that made the original a success and expanded upon them in meaningful ways. Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter offers a rich and challenging experience that will satisfy fans of the original while drawing in new players with its enhanced features...

LEGO Horizon Adventures delivers a pleasant and not-so-serious rendition of Horizon Zero Dawn that is both adorable and fun to play. However, its overly simplified and lighthearted gameplay loop becomes too monotonous and one dimensional after long periods of play.

I’m a bit disappointed with the PlayStation 5 port of a beloved, overwhelmingly positive title on Steam. Phasmophobia not only contains some of the worst user navigation interfaces I’ve seen in a long time, but also a gameplay loop that isn’t well explained for newcomers to enjoy. Deep down inside,...

Sonic X Shadow Generations is a strong dual game experience that marries nostalgia with innovation. It’s nice to revisit Sonic’s old stomping grounds from 11 years ago but the real star of the show is Shadow’s brand new campaign. I guess there's still plenty of life left in Sega's iconic...
