    Mediterranea Inferno Review (Xbox X/S)

    Set in Italy post COVID-19, Mediterranea Inferno is a psychedelic visual novel about three Gen Z’s readjusting to reality after the pandemic.

    Rebel Transmute Hands-On (Xbox X/S)

    Rebel Transmute is another Metroidvania that doesn’t break the mould: Moon Mikono crashlands on an unforgiving planet full of aliens and environmental hazards – “but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” as the old adage goes.

  • lords of exile 1920x1080

    Lords of Exile Review (Xbox X/S)

    Lords of Exile is an homage to linear 8-bit Action Platformers and within the first 20 minutes, I knew I hated it. As a callback to classic NES games, it features all the archaic physics and controls that I had hoped we had abandoned by now. Lords of Exile...

    Froggie – A Retro Platformer Review (Xbox X/S)

    Froggie – A Retro Platformer does exactly what it says on the cartridge, so to speak. It’s a 2-bit Platformer where the titular Froggie hops, wall climbs and slides through 100 levels. Story Froggie – A Retro Platformer has no story but if I had to make one up...
