GAMING REVIEWS
A.I.L.A review: a five-hour AI nightmare you’ll actually want to experience
TL;DR: A.I.L.A is a five-hour sci-fi horror ride that shines brightest in its opening and ending, with strong performances and polished visuals carrying some saggy middle portions. Not terrifying, but…
Constance review: a beautifully drawn journey through anxiety and art
TL;DR: A heartfelt, stylish Metroidvania with great bosses, smart platforming, and a beautiful story—not groundbreaking, but absolutely worth your time. I didn’t expect a game about a stressed-out digital artist…
Forestrike review: a martial arts fever dream where practice hurts more than failure
TL;DR: A smart, stylish roguelite with incredible combat puzzles, a weak story, and a precision-heavy difficulty curve that can frustrate, but ultimately delivers rewarding, martial arts-inspired mastery. Forestrike is one…
Disney Dreamlight Valley: Wishblossom Ranch review: a magical mess worth riding through
TL;DR: A wonderfully creative and much-needed expansion with great mounts and stunning new areas, held back by frustrating bugs, uneven characters, and unnecessary progression gates. Still cozy, still charming, but…
Kirby Air Riders review: a chaotic, pink, airborne fever dream I can’t believe exists
TL;DR: A wonderfully weird, content-rich, chaotic action-racing game that’s sometimes too simple for its own good but almost always a blast to play — especially with friends. The first time…
Demonschool review: all style, all heart, and enough strategy to keep you hooked
TL;DR: A gorgeous, character-driven, neon-soaked tactical RPG that’s big on charm and light on strategy. Not the deepest tactics experience, but definitely one of the most stylish and fun. I…
Deadpool VR review: I’m not sure what happened, but my therapist will definitely hear about it
TL;DR: Fast, funny, violent, stylish, and wildly replayable. Minor frustrations aside, Deadpool VR delivers exactly what it promises. I spent some time living inside Marvel Deadpool VR in the same…
Where Winds Meet review: a wuxia playground with too many broken toys
TL;DR: A gorgeous wuxia sandbox with fun combat and tons of personality, held back by technical issues, cluttered systems, and stop-and-start progression. Fun, but frustrating. Potentially great, but not quite…
Dispatch review: a warm, weird, surprisingly human superhero story I couldn’t put down
TL;DR: Dispatch is a heartfelt, funny, beautifully acted superhero adventure with great characters, great writing, and choices that don’t matter as much as they should — but the story is…
Ambrosia Sky: Act One Review: the soft apocalypse of a forgotten colony
TL;DR: A contemplative, atmospheric space-cleaning adventure anchored by loss, memory, and one of the gentlest depictions of death in gaming. Unfinished, yes—but absolutely worth stepping into. Ambrosia Sky: Act One…
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Campaign review: big swings, weird vibes, and the most ‘it’s fine’ CoD yet
TL;DR: Ambitious ideas, great gunplay, and fun movement meet inconsistent pacing, a co-op-first design that hurts solo players, and a repetitive endgame. A bold but uneven Call of Duty campaign…
Where Winds Meet review: a Wuxia wonderland that trips over its own robes
TL;DR: A stunning, ambitious Wuxia adventure with great ideas and clumsy execution. Gorgeous world, fun combat, too many systems, plenty of bugs. Imperfect but memorable. I have this ritual whenever…
Lumines Arise review: the puzzle game that made me feel everything
TL;DR: Lumines Arise turns color and sound into therapy. Gorgeous, hypnotic, and deeply human — it’s the kind of puzzle game that reminds you how to feel again. I didn’t expect…
Possessor(s) review: I fought demons, glitches, and my own patience
TL;DR: Possessor(s) Review – A buggy, frustrating Metroidvania with a brilliant story trapped inside a broken game. Despite its emotional narrative and striking world-building, poor optimization, dreadful map design, and repetitive…
Anno 117: Pax Romana review: the most beautiful mess Rome ever made
TL;DR: A gorgeous, strategic city-builder that makes you feel like Caesar with a clipboard. Occasionally clunky, but endlessly satisfying. There’s a moment in every city-building game when the illusion of control…
Goodnight Universe review: I blinked, the baby exploded, and now everyone’s crying
TL;DR: Psychic baby, great concept. Touching moments, half-baked mechanics. Cute, confused, and worth a bedtime story—but not a full night’s sleep. I remember the first time I saw the key art…
Strike Force Heroes (Switch 2) review: reloading nostalgia for a new generation
TL;DR: A vibrant, nostalgic, and surprisingly deep 2D shooter that shines on the Switch 2. Strike Force Heroes combines the best of its Flash-era roots with modern performance and handheld freedom. It’s…
Tales of Xillia Remastered review: a decade later, the heart still beats strong
TL;DR: Still one of the best Tales games. Cleaner visuals, near-instant load times, and smoother combat make it an easy recommendation — especially if you’re chasing that warm rush of PS3-era nostalgia.…
