Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed) and Windows Video games have generally not been the most nuanced vehicles for expressing the effects of mental illness and that’s what makes Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice so much more impressive. Developer Ninja Theory combined it’s knack for cinematic presentaion with a very taboo topic to create an unforgettable, if flawed, game. […]
Save the Ninja Clan Review
Platforms: Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One If you’ve never heard of Save the Ninja Clan, then we’re in the same boat. I only decided to buy it on a whim after watching the trailer because of its $2.99 price tag and obvious Super Meat Boy influence. Little did I know that […]
Splatoon 2 Review
Platforms: Nintendo Switch I wasn’t sure about Splatoon 2. I hadn’t played the first (like most I didn’t own a WiiU) and the gimmick of painting over killing seemed almost too passive. I’m happy to admit how wrong I was. Splatoon 2 is a fantastic mesh of unique ideas and style, even if it is […]
Pocket Card Jockey Review
Platforms: Android, iOS, and Nintendo 3DS (reviewed) Game Freak may be most well known for the Pokémon series, but they’ve also released their fair share of other quirky titles.

We Are Doomed Review
Platforms: Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One We Are Doomed is a chaotic twin-stick arena style shooter. It’s a game all about using a giant laser beam to take out a variety of polygon enemies. It’s all about the gameplay and chasing high scores as there’s no story, no cutscenes, and […]

Platforms: Playstation 3, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One The human psyche is all too fragile. The fact that most of us are just one traumatizing event away from completely breaking down and losing control is a terrifying thing to think about. The Evil Within uses this fear to craft one the […]
Home Review
Platforms: iOS, Mac, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), PlayStation Vita (reviewed), and Windows As stated by its tagline, Home really is a unique horror adventure. I’ve never played anything quite like it and actually found it rather hard to parse my thoughts on it. On one hand it was something different and intriguing, but on the other […]
Get Even Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One With a constant news cycle and a general increase in the popularity of indie games, it’s hard to be surprised by a game these days. Get Even, from developer The Farm 51, bucks that trend in a very satisfying way. While rough around the edges, it delivers […]
Perception Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One The fear of the dark is our most primal fear. It changes the way we approach everything. Whether it’s the woods, a cave, or a simple bedroom, not being able to see affects us on a personal level. Developer The Deep End Games has taken this concept […]
