Battle for Blood Review
Platforms: Nintendo Switch (reviewed), Steam, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac Battle for Blood’s gameplay is typical of many match-three puzzle games as you’ll be moving tiles left, right, up, or down to create horizontal or vertical matches. Where this game changes things up is each specific tile is associated with a type of soldier. Creating matches […]
Nexomon: Extinction Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Nintendo Switch, Android, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Mac, and iOS Nexomon: Extinction is a game I’ve been planning on playing for a while now. I’m a big Pokémon fan and I’ve exhausted nearly all the content that the franchise has to offer, so I thought I’d branch out and try some […]
Young Souls Review
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One (reviewed), PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Google Stadia In a week where I reviewed two beat ‘em up/brawler games, if someone would have told me beforehand that I’d enjoy the one about a couple of teenagers trying to save their dad more than the one about giant monsters slapping the shit […]
Children of Morta Review
Platforms: Xbox One, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Classic Mac OS Family has always been the most important thing in my life.

Drifting Lands – See You Space Cowboy
Drifting Lands is a side-scrolling shooter after my heart. It takes a side-scrolling shooter and adds in RPG and rogue-like elements and that should keep me coming back far longer than pattern recognition does. I stepped into it a few days ago and found myself backing away from it before I even got a chance […]
