‘Enshrouded’ Game Review: A Fantasy RPG That’s Improved Since Early Access

Wiktor Reinfuss ,  ,  ,  ,  5 min read

Ancient ruins, abandoned settlements, forgotten civilizations, and landscapes swallowed by supernatural corruption all suggest an adventure game set in a world with its own history. The challenge, however, is turning that atmosphere into something more unique and meaningful than another open-world filled with side quests and repetitive waves of enemies. With Enshrouded, we find that quickly by playing a game that

‘Clayface’ Review: A Messy and Meaningless Spin-Off

John Dotson ,  ,  ,  ,  5 min read

DC’s Clayface is a character I’ve loved since childhood. There was something incredibly cool about a villain with shape-shifting abilities like the T-1000 from Terminator 2, plus the ability to manipulate his enemies through acting. Not to mention, Clayface had a truly tragic backstory that made him sympathetic. He was always my favorite from the 1990s animated series. DC didn’t really

‘Wicker’ Review: A Wonderfully Weird and Witty Romance

Joshua Mbonu ,  ,  4 min read

Wicker isn’t exactly one of those films that’s easy to pin down or theorize what it may be like after your first glance at the logline. Is it more absurdist comedy or does it lean more towards the dramedy realm of things? Is it straight zingers surrounding its central concept, or does there exist an inner earnestness to it all? The

‘Alpha Nomos’ Game Review: Music As A Powerful Weapon

Wiktor Reinfuss ,  ,  ,  ,  5 min read

Alpha Nomos is a rogue-lite that combines third-person hack-and-slash combat with rhythm mechanics and progression known from the genre. We play as Cello, a young warrior traveling through a ruined world overrun by murderous puppets. She uses musical instruments as weapons and the soundtrack as a guide to her combat. Attacks, dodges, and abilities are connected to the beat of the

‘A Talent for Murder’ Review: Helen Mirren and Alden Ehrenreich Shine in Uneven Thriller

Maxance Vincent ,  ,  4 min read

The murder mystery is being reinvented in the wake of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out trilogy, though that doesn’t mean every film in the genre will be worthwhile. However, you can see how Johnson’s film served as the blueprint for Anton Corbijn’s A Talent for Murder. Patricia Highsmith’s psychological thriller is refraimed within the trappings of a whodunit, though its conclusion may be

‘Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse’ Game Review: One of the Best Games of the Franchise

Wiktor Reinfuss ,  ,  5 min read

Castlevania is one of those legendary Konami series that, for almost four decades, has built its fanbase and theme around gothic castles, supernatural horrors, rough combat, and the legacy of the Belmont family. It started as a tough, unforgiving platform game, but slowly, over time, it demonstrated that there are many ways to make hunting monsters an unforgettable, stressful adventure. Released

‘The Saviors’ Review: Prejudice Examined at Length in Dark Spin on ‘Rear Window’

James Preston Poole 5 min read

How far can our mistrust of one another take us? That’s the question at the center of Kevin Hamedani’s The Saviors, a paranoid comedy-thriller hybrid that enjoyed its world premiere back in March at the 2026 South by Southwest Festival and a recent showing at Sitges Film Festival. Starring Adam Scott, Danielle Deadwyler, Theo Rossi, and Nazanin Boniadi, The Saviors might
