Coffin Dodgers Review
Platforms: Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One If the Grim Reaper himself came to you in the middle of the night and told you that you only had three days to live, what would you do? If your first instinct wasn’t to soup-up your Rascal scooter and draw up a contract to […]
Destiny 2 Review
Platforms: Playstation 4 (reviewed), Windows, and Xbox One Destiny 2 is Destiny with confidence. The first game, while mechanically sound, was plagued by poor design decisions and an oppressive level of grinding in the endgame. It was a full year with the release of The Taken King expansion that the game started to realize its […]
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Microsoft Windows Certain games come along at the right time in life and click with you when they may otherwise not have. While it may be a rare occurrence for some, I think this fact is true for everyone, as a game you love now is something you may have been […]

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 […]
