ELEX II – Review

A few years ago, one of my friends was telling me about this game he had discovered, a game that was so different from everything else he had played. It mixed a post-apocalyptic world with technology and magic, and a vast open-world to explore. You could collect items, forge them

The King Of Fighters XV – Review

The King of Fighters series by SNK was one of the pioneers of the arcade scene from the mid-’90s to the early 2000s, but the history of its characters goes back even further. The original game, King of Fighters ’94, brought together characters from SNK’s other fighting games, including 1991’s

Dying Light 2: Stay Human – Review

Pretty much the only game I’ve been “Dying” to get my hands on is finally here. Techland’s post-apocalyptic open-world game Dying Light 2: Stay Human has been on my radar the moment they announced it, and more recently Techland came out suggesting that the game would take anywhere up to

Marsupilami: Hoobadventure – Review

Marsupilami was not the most well-known comic book character of 1952, but dear god was the T.V. show of the ’90s, a total banger. Bringing it into the 2021’s, ‘Marsupilami: Hoobadventure’ gives us a reimagining of these weird and wonderful, long-tailed creatures that bring nothing but trouble wherever they go.

Chorus – Review

Flying a spaceship has always been a cool idea for a video game and yet, it’s such a small market of games. Don’t get me wrong, the game pool may be shallow for recent titles to pick from, but the fan base for this genre is very strong and quite

Halo Infinite (Campaign) – Review

It’s been quite an interesting series of events for Halo Infinite. First with its rocky reveal which in turn saw a year delay, to 343 releasing the Free-to-play multiplayer portion almost a good month early. Now, this week we all get to finally dig in and check out what 343

Nerf Legends – Review

For my entire childhood, Nerf guns were a staple in fuelling my imagination of a wild shoot-out in my backyard or living room. Whether I was trying to emulate Rambo with a giant machinegun-style Nerf blaster as a kid, or John Wick with a Nerf pistol as an adult, the

Grow: Song Of The Evertree – Review

With so many high-octane and fast-paced shooters releasing in a short window of time, it’s nice to know that there are games that are happy to slow things down. Developed by Prideful Sloth and published by 505 Games, a new relaxing world builder has entered the chat, and that game

Ok. I never played the ‘Left 4 Dead’ games and I am glad. I can go into this review with a clear mind and without having to compare to those famously popular games despite the newest zombie horde game ‘Back 4 Blood’ being their spiritual successor. ‘Back 4 Blood’ by
