The Mermaid Mask – PC Review

The Mermaid Mask is the fourth installment to the Detective Grimoire series and the sequel to the Tangled Tower. From the brilliant minds at SFB Games, this game still lives up to its predecessors. The Mermaid Mask is a Casual, Adventure, Puzzle game that is well worth anyone's time. However, the game is originally a point and click game, but SFB Games has made their games controller friendly. To the point I played between my Steam Deck and my desktop on and off my work shifts. I can't explain how much I love this series and have been anticipating a new entry into the Grimoire series. Now sit back, relax and let's save the mystery in The Mermaid Mask. So, you're telling me that I can combine parts of a ship to a submarine, and it'll all still work with no issues?! Gameplay We play ...

Granblue Fantasy Relink: Endless Ragnarok PC Review

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is a DLC for Granblue Fantasy: Relink. This DLC has added new characters to play with, new quests and a good amount of content. There's a lot of good in the game. But oh boy do I have several opinions of what I've gone through. Like...maybe it'll be a normal length. The whole process to just start the story is really feeling endless... Gameplay Now I must prefer that you will have a very long journey if you're trying to reach the start of the story. What I mean is after you've done all the stuff in the main game, you're halfway to Endless Ragnarok. Why do I say you're halfway there? Because you'll need to repeat what you did for Chapter Zero and go out and complete a certain quest. The amount of quests you need to complete building the do...

Cursed Companions – PC Preview

Cursed Companions is an Action, Adventure, Co-op game from the minds at Crimson Forge Studios. It's actually a unique take on the concept that we get from games like R.E.P.O, Yap-Yap, and Lethal Company. The difference between Cursed Companions is that after meeting the quota, we have to fight a boss. But I'll cover more of them in the next section. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN AND THE TOWER OF WAFFLES SHE RESIGNS IN! Gameplay Cursed Companions has you playing for what I'm dubbing Kidney Beans. These Kidney Beans are in the service of the Queen, who must collect cursed treasures. However, there is one thing you must always keep to yourself if you don't trust your friends, and that's your "cursed word". This task will either break your brain or have you meet your maker faster if it's a word you...

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle PC Review

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle is a continuation of the Dave the Diver game. Harpooned by the brilliant minds at MINTROCKET. Honestly it was a great way to dive into the game with more mechanics and characters to fall in love with again. Getting some freshwater fish and the new materials for some new changes as well. Now let's put our diving suits on and get Bancho the special ingredient of this review. The one place where can have both a somewhat lime and access to coconuts. You should already know where I'm going with this. Gameplay Dave the Diver: In the Jungle brings a lot of new changes that I'm actually here for. Not only do we go to a jungle village to help them is a Blue Hole issue but with freshwater. But also trying to solve this large issue of dinosaurs washing up on shore.....

LumenTale: Memories of Trey PC Review

LumenTale: Memories of Trey is an Action, Adventure, RPG from Beehive Studios with assistance from Team17. The game uses a turn-based combat system similar to other such games. However there's a catch, you'll get to have a team of four Animon fighting at the same time! But, there are a few other twists in this game that really have you strategizing. Yet, I did try to do some online battles to no avail. Now let's fling out Holoken and start the show! What do you mean I can't do Yo-yo tricks when using the Holoken! I wanted to do an around the world trick before catching one! Gameplay LumenTale: Memories of Trey has you start off with a quiz that I still don't know what it was for. Although after a few minutes of answering those questions, you wake up as Trey. An android that was discov...

Voidling Bound PC Review

Voiding Bound is an Action, Adventure, RPG made in-house by Hatchery Games. This game brings in what feels like Pokémon. If you can play as them and roam around with the mutations that each species that the game has. With the area being a playground holding secrets and no boundaries unless gravity happens. Let's collect the mutagens and start this review! With the amount of eggs I'm collecting, I might as well start a egg farm. Gameplay Voiding Bound has us playing as the Wrangler. A person in a crew of 5 people roaming the galaxies to stop the spread of the infection that's spreading among many other planets in the galaxy. However, the only things immune to the Legion's parasites are voidlings. Furthermore, these creatures that we're able to take and link up with to take over and att...

Rune Dice PC Review

Rune Dice is a Strategy RPG from the minds at Smart Raven Studio. With publishing assistance from Kwalee. Rune Dice is honestly a very unique concept when working with dice and combat. And the interesting conditions to be met when unlocking characters had me playing for hours on end. Now, let's legally grab our dice and get ready to roll for this review! Remember, explosive dice are your best friend, but RNG....it's getting personal! Gameplay The gameplay for Rune Dice is honestly a game of pool minus the pockets and with almost the same amount of planning. I swear the game had me questioning sending the die to a wall to do a trick shot. Which was necessary to fully understand to perform the needed 40 combo dice to unlock the Archer. Sure, you need the aim to properly get this combo t...

The Spell Brigade – PC Review

The Spell Brigade is an Action Rougelike Survivor game from Bolt Blaster Games. The game gives me the mix of Vampire Survivor and a dash of Deep Rock Galactic" Survivor for the mobs. The one aspect that makes it different from those two is that this game starts with Co-op. In fact, they encourage you to play with others. Thankfully, Bolt Blaster kindly gave enough keys to play with others to fully experience the game. So, I'll be giving my full thoughts and opinion on the game. Now everyone, pick your wizard, collect the mana and let's fight the final boss known as this review. See...when you give me a game like this with wizards, I'm hoping a reference of Ball Wizard can one day be reality. Gameplay We start as just a normal orb wizard. Destroying creatures we know aren't friendly...

Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi Switch Review

Kazuma Kaneko's Tsukuyomi is a Rouge-like, Tabletop, RPG from COLOPL Inc. A revised version of Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter that was released on May 6th 2025. Updating a few bit from the original from a larger story, one new character, a better interface and fixing the card effects in battles. For some, people who came to play this game because Kazuma Kaneko's name is on the game. Which for those who don't know, he's the original artist for the demons in the Megami Tensei series. But let's get to the bottom of this case. However, don't be surprised when we get to discussing the art portion of the review. Slaying the Spire II has prepared me for this game a bit too much. What does it mean to be a Tsukuyomi We start off playing as Tsukuyomi of Izayoi appearing in the Hashira. This co...

Pragmata PS5 Review

Pragmata is an Action, Adventure game from Capcom. A game that was first revealed at the start of the PS5's life back in 2020. It was honestly one of the main reason I originally got a PS5. Which we got a good, strong time of hearing nothing about this project and just hoping to hear something about it. Like the game Little Devil Inside which I'm still waiting to hear something about that game. With some people enjoying Pragmata for not only the gameplay, but the message within it. Others are just tearing it down for clout. Now, 01110011 01110100 01100001 01110010 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01110110 01101001 01100101 01110111 00100001 ! If you play this and don't feel like you want to be a parent, then you must already have kids...I'm sorry ...
