Bioshock Infinite Mini-Review

After purchasing the Bioshock Collection for $12 in 2020 and beating Bioshock the same year, then Bioshock 2 last year in 2021, it felt like the perfect time to wrap up the trilogy and get started on Bioshock Infinite in 2022. Rather than another return to the ocean-buried Rapture, Infinite brings us up into a …

A Plague Tale: Innocence Mini-Review

Sometimes a game comes along that surpasses your expectations in myriad ways. Rather than a bland stealth title, you're gifted a heartfelt adventure sneaking through gorgeous forests, towns, and dilapidated castles. Instead of insufferable characters, you find a group of young adults and a young child that you can't tear yourself away from. The brief …

Nexomon Mini-Review

After hearing the name "Nexomon" for several years, I finally decided to dive in and see what this Pokémon-like is all about. Nexomon creates a solid narrative that throws players immediately into a world full of the titular creatures, full of variety and its own history. The story carries its golden thread with plenty of …

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Mini-Review

Spider-Man is unquestionably my favorite superhero of all-time. The 90s cartoon show is what drew me in the most since we didn't have a local comic book store, but I eagerly devoured any video games I could get my hands on, as well as the movies featuring Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and eventually Tom Holland. …

Yoku’s Island Express Mini-Review

Sometimes a game enters your radar long after its release, even if it's one you've heard about and it continues on a genre you've loved for decades. Yoku's Island Express is one such game for me. This charming little game melds the exploration of a Metroidvania with the precision, accuracy, and stylings of pinball. It …

Tunic Mini-Review

Tunic is an indie game crafted with love and clearly striving to pay homage to Zelda and Dark Souls. It largely succeeds in this endeavor. However, the game suffers a few weakness that hampered my enjoyment of the good parts and dragged the overall experience down. Tunic Pros:-Beautiful, isometric world with a cute fox protagonist-Players …

Elden Ring Mini-Review

Greetings, all! It's been a while! I recently worked my way through Elden Ring and while I had many thoughts that felt worth sharing, I didn't want to commit to writing an enormous review (because this game is absolutely MASSIVE). Enter my Mini-Review! This post is focusing specifically on the things I loved or disliked …

Review- Untitled Goose Game (Nintendo Switch)

Let's make this short and sweet. In Untitled Goose Game, you are a goose. Go figure. Your mission is to inflict mayhem and chaos throughout the fictional village by terrorizing its citizens. Tearing up gardens. Stealing from the market. Invading a pub. Each new scenario becomes just as zany and enjoyable as the last, culminating …

Review- The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (Nintendo Switch)

When it comes to the Zelda franchise, Link's Awakening for Game Boy has always been an unsung champion. It is a fantastic adventure from start to finish, but it doesn't have the same power behind its name as the heavy hitters like A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, or Breath of the Wild. …

Review- Celeste (Nintendo Switch)

(This is an updated review to include Chapter 8, all of the game’s B and C Sides, as well as the Chapter 9: Farewell DLC. My initial review has not been altered, but I will post some updated thoughts in the newer section. Feel free to skip down to the REVIEW UPDATE section if you’ve …
