Cosmic Star Heroine Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed) and Steam Zeboyd Games has long been a developer with much potential and with every release their style and design has improved. I’m excited to say that with the release of Cosmic Star Heroine they have hit their stride and created one the most fun “old school” RPG’s I’ve played in […]
Mass Effect: Andromeda Review
The promise of Mass Effect: Andromeda was that of a bold new take on one of the most beloved series of last generation. After the mixed (at best) reaction to the ending of the third game a new galaxy filled with a fresh cast of characters seemed like the right decision filled with promise. In […]
Night In The Woods Review
Night in the Woods, from developer Infinite Falls, is a game about small-town, post-teens finding themselves. If that sentence immediately turns you off then this might not be the game for you. If you give it a chance, you might find one of the most smartly written games to date about growing up, relationships, and the […]
Resident Evil 7 Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Xbox One, and Steam The opening moments of Resident Evil 7 tell you one thing; fear is once again part of the equation.

Necropolis Review
Platforms: Steam, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), and Xbox One The word necropolis should bring fear, dread, or any number of other frightening thoughts to mind when you hear it. I mean, it does translate to “city of the dead.” Unfortunately for Necropolis, the game, it neither lives up to its name nor the games it is […]
The Gate of Firmament Review
All too often when people talk RPGs they’re only talking about JRPGs or European/American computer or console role-playing games. Don’t believe me? OK, let’s do a thought experiment think of an RPG, any RPG, go on, don’t be shy. What were you thinking of? Chances are it wasn’t Xuan-Yuan Sword EX: The Gate of Firmament. […]
Murasaki Baby Review
Platform: PlayStation Vita How much influence should art and music have in the critique of a game where the gameplay fails to shine? Trying to find an answer to this question is the dilemma I found myself in when I sat down to review Murasaki Baby. In Murasaki Baby, you’re tasked with leading a little […]
