Game Reviews

Capcom · RPG Collection · 2026-03-27

“Capcom dug up the DS games everyone forgot existed, polished them until they shined, and reminded us that Star Force was always Battle Network's underappreciated younger sibling. The therapy bill for that realization is on you.”

Deck Nine · Narrative Adventure · 2026-03-26

“Max and Chloe are back, the rewind power works, and Deck Nine finally figured out that what people wanted was the original duo together, not whatever Double Exposure was.”

RocketWerkz · Survival · 2026-03-26

“Dean Hall put a survival game on consoles four years after PC launch, and the biggest survival challenge is the UI.”

Arc System Works · Twin-Stick Shooter · 2026-03-25

“Arc System Works made a twin-stick shooter about a guy and a demon baby, and the checkpoint system is scarier than any of the actual demons.”

Gameloft · Life Sim · 2026-03-25

“Disney Dreamlight Valley on Switch 2 is what it should have been on Switch 1: actually playable without the console catching fire.”

Pearl Abyss · Open-World Action · 2026-03-19

“Pearl Abyss took Black Desert's engine, gave it a story worth caring about, and delivered an open world so beautiful it makes you forget the combat occasionally wants to be three different games at once.”

Capcom · RPG · 2026-03-13

“Capcom finally figured out that Monster Hunter's biggest monsters deserve better than being reduced to collectible pets. Twisted Reflection gives them actual character arcs. Yes, the dinosaurs have character arcs now.”

Bungie · Extraction Shooter · 2026-03-05

“Bungie finally remembered they made more than one franchise. And delivered an extraction shooter on Tau Ceti IV that doesn't feel like a Destiny reskin. Almost.”

Mega Crit · Roguelike Deckbuilder · 2026-03-05

“Mega Crit took four years, rebuilt every system from scratch, and proved that the best sequel to a perfect game is the same game but deeper. Your free time didn't stand a chance.”

Nintendo · Social / Life Sim · 2026-03-05

“Nintendo made Animal Crossing with Pokemon and somehow ended up with a game that's less relaxing than either. Pokopia is adorable, shallow, and will sell eleven million copies anyway.”

Blizzard Entertainment · MMORPG Expansion · 2026-03-02

“Blizzard brought us back to Quel'thalas, gave us player housing, and proved that twenty years in, WoW can still surprise. Even if the bugs sometimes surprise you more.”

Capcom · Survival Horror · 2026-02-27

“Capcom gave us two protagonists, two perspectives, and two reasons to sleep with the lights on. Grace Ashcroft's terror and Leon Kennedy's carnage make this the best RE in twenty years.”

Obsidian Entertainment · First-Person RPG · 2026-02-17

“Obsidian built a first-person RPG in the Pillars of Eternity universe and delivered exactly what you'd expect. Great writing, solid combat, and a world that's more interesting to read about than to run through.”

Team Ninja · Action RPG · 2026-02-06

“Team Ninja went open-world and somehow didn't lose their soul. Nioh 3 is a samurai soulslike that earns every death and every victory.”

Square Enix · JRPG · 2026-02-05

“Square Enix rebuilt Dragon Quest VII from the ground up and proved that a 25-year-old JRPG can still charm. As long as you have the patience of a saint and about eighty hours to spare.”

MachineGames · First-Person Action-Adventure · 2025-12-09

“MachineGames took the Wolfenstein engine, pointed it at 1937, and made the best Indiana Jones game ever. Which is both a compliment and a reminder of how low that bar was.”

NeoBards Entertainment · Psychological Horror · 2025-10-31

“Konami set Silent Hill in 1960s Japan, nailed the atmosphere so hard it left bruises, and then attached a combat system that makes you wish the monsters would just kill you faster.”

Sucker Punch Productions · Open-World Action-Adventure · 2025-10-02

“Sucker Punch moved from Tsushima to Hokkaido, gave us a female mercenary with a wolf companion, and somehow made an open world that doesn't feel like a checklist. In 2025. Witchcraft.”

11 bit Studios · Survival City-Builder · 2025-09-20

“11 bit Studios made a city-builder where the hardest resource to manage isn't coal. It's your own conscience. Welcome to 1916, where democracy is the real final boss.”

Gearbox Software · Looter Shooter · 2025-09-12

“Gearbox built a seamless open world on planet Kairos, filled it with thirty billion guns, and still couldn't find a single good joke to put in it.”
