I was going to talk about Dread Templar’s full release today, but then Microsoft and Bethesda had to stealth-drop a new action game that looked rad as fuck last night, so I’m covering that instead while it’s still fresh. So here’s a first impression of Hi-Fi

We’re getting into the thick of the new release season. One of the big ones, the Dead Space remake is coming out next week; Atomic Heart is a few weeks after that, and the Lightfall expansion in Destiny 2 is a week after that. And that’s not even

Burnout is a real thing. It’s kind of the reason I took the last month off of releasing writing and videos following the Game of the Year post. My vacation lining up with the last two weeks of the year being Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve

Well, would you look at the time? It’s the end of the year and 2022 has probably been my biggest year professionally, ever? It has been a big year for laying the foundations of both the future of my work and my own future as well. But it was

My familiarity with Warhammer 40k is a passing one at best. I like the Ciaphas Cain novels explicitly because they make the setting palatable for me. Which is to say, by completely taking the piss. And that makes sense because 40k was originally created with a bunch of satirical elements

It appears I am once again going outside of my wheelhouse. This week, the game we’re going to look at is Somerville. Somerville is a narrative adventure game developed by Jumpship (founded by Dino Patti, one of Playdead’s co-founders) as their debut game that has big ideas and

Soulstone Survivors is possibly the most obsessed I’ve been with an early-access game this side of Hades. Oh yeah, we’re starting off STRONG this week. For people who don't know what the fuck I’m talking about, I’m going to talk about Soulstone Survivors, a

Told y’all I’d make it up. As I’ve noted multiple times over the last few years, I’m a coward. I get startled very easily, and it leads to my anxiety spiking. But there is a lot there that I like: the sense of loneliness in a

I know it’s three days before Halloween, but I was excited for this one, I promise next week will be more spoopy. Deadlink was one of the games I covered in the Steam Next Fest in the summer and I thought it was one of the standouts. At least
