The Callisto Protocol – Review

I loved the Dead Space games, and when I heard the co-creator was the director of a new game I was instantly excited. I watched a single trailer for the game, said to myself “I need this” and then patiently waited for the release. With it finally here, I got

Somerville (Xbox Series X) – Review

Mystery. An air of mystery goes a long way for me in a game. There is something about diving into the unknown to solve mysteries with great consequences and winding trials. ‘Somerville’ developed by JumpShip, while dark and mysterious, answers none of my lingering questions at its conclusion. Without giving
