Cris Tales Review: An Ode to the Best and Worst of JRPGs

game review17 August 2021

Cris Tales has a remarkably beautiful hand-drawn aesthetic, some unique time travel mechanics, and a fun and engaging fantasy world. Unfortunately, the gameplay is often bogged down by repetitive turn-based combat and excessive loading times.

Naraka Bladepoint Review: A Double-Edged Battle Royale

game review17 August 2021

The battle royale genre is rather established nowadays with household names like Fortnite and Apex Legends dominating most Twitch channels. For a new game to stand out among the crowd, it needs to offer something the others don’t. So here it is - Naraka.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 Review - Refurbished Classic Instead of Brand New Ride

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 Review - Refurbished Classic Instead of Brand New Ride

game review13 August 2021

The game about being a car mechanic is back. It's better, it's bigger, it's prettier, but overall it's a small step in the evolution of the series, rather than a significant revolution.

Unbound Worlds Apart Review: Platforming Not For the Impatient

game review04 August 2021

Unbound has familiar touchstones of other modern side-scrolling platformers: Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Limbo, Inside, Cuphead, take your pick. It’s almost a formula by now. Throw a nice color pallet, a mystical world, and boom you’ve got a game.

Blightbound Review: A Dungeon Crawler by Any Other Name

game review28 July 2021

This game won't change the world, and it's certainly not the best in its genre. It does, however, have the ability to enchant for several long hours. Some elements should be refined though. Read our Blightbound review.

The Witcher Monster Slayer Review: Mild Hunt

game review26 July 2021
