After years of focusing on the heritage of Altair, Ezio, and Connor, which Desmond had to bear on his shoulders, with Edward Kenway, the story went in a different direction in both Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and Black Flag. Edward was never an Assassin, nor did he have any connections to the Order. His decision to join them and take up
Read MoreIn 2014, Bungie’s Destiny burst onto the scene with what I’d call “turbulent but abundant joy.” Following Halo, a game that laid the groundwork for practically all popular FPS games that followed, Bungie tore up all preconceptions of limitation and gave gamers an entire universe to explore. Naturally, that ambition was met with a flurry of obstacles to overcome, but fans
Read MoreThe Incident at Galley House is the latest mystery game from Evil Trout Inc. and William Rous.

Read MoreCome along on a journey filled with danger, wonder, and adventure as you travel through time in LIFTED! This is the first game developed and published by Adventure Works, a new studio that was founded by former Disney Imagineer Jeffrey Ashbrook. Mr. Ashbrook was influenced not only by his imagination but was strongly inspired after speaking to an archeologist while on
Read MoreThe new Star Fox for Nintendo Switch 2 is a loyal remake of the classic Nintendo 64 title, Star Fox 64. When the game was first announced, there were many decrying the remake as a cheap attempt to cash in on nostalgia, but I can safely say that this remake does everything right. The series has always been one of my

In One More Game’s SWAPMEAT, you’ll collect resources, run’n’gun, and swap out your squishy body for parts and pieces of your alien foes. This might sound weird at first, but it is through this
Read MoreI’ve always tended to gravitate towards wholesome and cozy games, but with the abundance of games from those categories, it’s getting more difficult to find the ones right for me. From special events hosted on Steam showcasing a swath of games to publishers and organizations doing the same thing by having “Directs” on Twitch and YouTube, it’s a lot. One of

Well, that’s what I got to experience with the recently released visual novel game Coffee Talk: Tokyo. Admittedly, I have never really been a fan of the visual novel genre in the past. I have tried to play many other
Read MoreBefore playing Dosa Divas, I had not yet heard of developer Outerloop Games. This makes me a bit sad because, after experiencing what they’re capable of, I feel like I’ve missed out on so much regarding their previous titles. The style and design of Dosa Divas, and even by looking at their older titles, is a sight to behold. While I
