My Reviews

Myst is notorious for its incredibly complex puzzles, yet its captivating world and style captivate and compel exploration. I remember and recall playing Myst III in the early 2000s in my local library, having only seen copies of the game on the shelf for various systems at stores throughout the

The idea of AI taking over the world is an intriguing subject, and it is becoming more and more of a reality with current deep-learning AIs. Ever since Isaac Asimov touched upon the thought of machines becoming closer to humans, we have thrust this into science fiction. The Enigma Machine

I finally made it around to the last of the trilogy. This latest entry is a huge step up for the series, but if you zoom out and look at the game in comparison to others at the beginning of this generation, it still feels and plays dated. Right off

I absolutely love how the human mind works. It is fascinating how the human mind can break, repair itself, and affect the body and psyche in ways we still don't fully understand. The Town of Light explores these ideas with a real-life case. The game is set in a hospital

Anthem has been a long time coming debuting 6 years at E3 and exciting BioWare fans with the teaser. It looked amazing and was said to be as rich and detailed as Mass Effect, but as the years went on BioWare was very choosy about what was shown and the

The Ninja Gaiden series is very beloved to longtime fans. The reboot for Xbox was considered one of the hardest games ever made at the time and required extremely precise skill. Yaiba is a spin-off of the series and takes a kind of comical take on it. This isn’t exactly

Infinity Blade was a big deal when it was released. It was the Dark Souls of mobile games at the time before Dark Souls even came out. Chair Entertainment started a revolution that many tried to copy and failed. It was a rogue-lite that had you dying over and over

Gylt, a Stadia (RIP) exclusive upon release, is a stealth game in a similar vein to Alan Wake. You play as a little girl trying to save her cousin Emily from monsters in a strange town, and you don't know where you are on top of all this. You slowly

Dementium is one of the saddest stories on the DS. There are very few horror games on the system, and Dementium was a hyped-up train wreck all the way to release. Renegade Kid originally pitched Dementium as a Silent Hill game on the DS. They went to Konami to show

Another independent horror game featuring a convoluted narrative and characters we find uninteresting. I keep giving these games chances, and while a lot of them nail their main monster and atmosphere, almost none can bring home a good story or good characters. This game is based on Taiwanese mythology and

The series Alone in the Dark appears to have a perpetual curse. While the earliest 3D titles, such as The New Nightmare, received fairly positive scores, these last two reboots just can't seem to get things right. I'll grant the 2008 reboot some leeway, as it attempted to innovate and

I turn to indie horror games for my fix because AAA horror titles just aren't much of a thing anymore. Back in the day when we got regular Silent Hill releases and games like The Suffering, Obscure, Haunting Ground, and Resident Evil, there were more than you could count. Today,

I understand everyone wants to praise indie games. I get it, I really do. It’s a middle finger to the corporate world and developers can explore interesting new ideas without the weight of a watchful eye. A Mortician’s Tale kind of explores this exact idea, but with a funeral home. The

As if zombie games weren’t already in abundance, we get yet another crappy indie zombie first person shooter. This game caught my eye due to the live action cut scenes and the screenshots looked decent, but man I was wrong. Not only is the story and the main character, Jack,

Walking simulators are something I really enjoy as they can focus mostly on the story, characters, and atmosphere. Sadly, it's also a big gamble as sometimes the story can be great, but the gameplay is awful or the story is awesome, but the ending sucks and pretty much makes the

xperiences and put it all together in some weird hub. Each game is completely different and offers brand new experiences, but I'm starting to see that the series is running out of ideas. The main hub this time around is a kids birthday center called Outpost 3000. It's space- and

The idea of DLC for Mortal Kombat was an exciting prospect when it started with Mortal Kombat (2011). You paid $5 for a new character, and this felt fine. Mortal Kombat X introduced the character pass system, which was also well liked. You paid $20 for four new characters that
