The Ascent – Review

It’s no secret that the term cyberpunk has been ever so slightly tarnished in the aftermath of the Cyberpunk 2077 launch.

Chernobylite – Review

A new first-person shooter, survival game set in Chernobyl? The last one I played and promptly quit because I don’t do horror was Metro, since then I’ve played games like Outlast and Blair Witch, BUT, ‘Chernobylite’ had me promptly jumping out of my chair and alt-f4ing the game. Chernobylite is

Fallout 76: Steel Reign – Review

While I did side with the Institute during my first play-through of Fallout 4, the Brotherhood of Steel has always been my favourite faction in the Fallout universe. Not because I follow their ideals, but more because of the giant suits of power armour and excessive heavy weaponry. You have

Empire Of Sin – Review

The ’20s have finally rolled around again so it’s the perfect time to bust out the tailored suits and Jazz music. Unfortunately, most of us have been stuck inside since the start of 2020. A minor setback, but it has definitely hampered our ability to go out and start an
