Lowered Expectations – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
On the cusp of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s launch, I find myself reflective of the series and where it’s led to today. Like many others, the structural departure from the series’ tried-but-true series of complex dungeons along a streamlined set of overworlds became long in the tooth by the time we … Continue reading Lowered Expectations – The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Post Void (PC) Review
MOVE OR DIE Post Void is a spastic, psychedelic first person shooter from YCJY Games. While it plays as a distilled simplistic version of a lot of other genres and roguelike games, there is honestly nothing like Post Void. It’s obnoxious, it’s mean, and downright gives me a headache, but damn if I’m not champing … Continue reading Post Void (PC) Review

Frontier Hunter: Ezra’s Wheel of Fortune (PC Early Access) Preview
Eric "Getty" Gettinger It is always interesting to see current trends pop up in games because it can certainly date them.

Neverwake (PC) Review
Neverawake sounds like a hashtag of pure apathy. Like someone choosing to be separated from the woke-culture that is so often decried. It's a figurative state of mind, however this Neverawake status is implying that the main subject of this game literally is indeed not awake and we are trapped in her nightmare. While we … Continue reading Neverwake (PC) Review
