After racking up about 20 hours in Starfield during its release weekend, it’s as good a time as any to throw my hat into the first impressions ring, the TL;DR of which is Starfield has so far been an enjoyable but imperfect experience. It’s different but also familiar, as if Bethesda simply placed a new…

Youropa: Demo Review
Youropa is a rather bizarre puzzle game that opens with an upside down view of the Eiffel Tower floating into the sky, along with various chunks of Paris’ streets. Your character is a faceless humanoid who appears to come to life once paint falls on it, after which you’ll begin your sky-high adventure by traversing…
Persona 5 Royal: Final Thoughts
Even though I’ve had some time to reflect on my time with Persona 5 Royal, I remain unsure how to best summarize my experience with the game. When I think about how it went, my brain stalls like a flooded car, because there are just too many things that I want to say and too…
Old Man’s Journey is Beautiful, But Repetitive
Old Man’s Journey is a “puzzle adventure” game that tells the story of an old man whose trek begins with the arrival of an undisclosed letter. The game has a colorful art style like a beautiful storybook and a lovely soundtrack that pairs well with the emotional story, which is told through the old man’s…
The Second FNAF Movie Trailer is Here!
The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie has recently released, and I’m getting increasingly excited! Not only have we seen all four animatronics (which look exactly as they did in the first game), but we got a much better look at Springtrap, who looks very menacing indeed. (Only FNAF can make a…
Persona 5 Royal: The Longest Goodbye
Masayoshi Shido – the sureshot next prime minister and the Phantom Thieves’ final target. Or, maybe not? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, because Shido was squarely in the thieves’ sights. Last time I grumbled a little about not having the best of times in two previous palaces, those of Okumura (the spaceport) and…
Little Nightmares 3 Brief Trailer Analysis
The trailer for Little Nightmares 3 has just been released, along with a video by SuperHorrorBro which discusses their own exclusive look at the game. For more details, you’ll need to watch SuperHorrorBro’s full video (lower down in this post), but I’d like to use this post as a chance to talk a little bit…
The Flower Collectors: Demo Review
The Flower Collectors is a murder mystery set in 1977 Barcelona, Spain that feels like it could be inspired by the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock movie, Rear Window. You see, you play as wheelchair-bound ex-cop Jorge, who witnesses a murder one dark and stormy night.
Resonance: Shrine Battle
If you’ve played any portion of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, then you know it has some pretty great musical themes. And so many of them, too! Different songs play during different events, discoveries, battles, and even changes as Link’s context changes. Day versus night, sky versus. depths, horseback versus walking –…
Untitled Goose Review
Back when it was first released in 2019, Untitled Goose Game seemed like such a unique idea for a game. At first, my experience with it revolved around seeing partial playthroughs on Youtube, in which the player controls a very naughty goose who gets into all kinds of mischief. Although the game succeeded in giving…
