Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition – Switch 2 Review

Arise, foul tarnished, it's time to explore the Lands Between in Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. This edition of From Software's 2022 game of the year includes the original game; the Shadow of the Erdtree dlc which you can read the review of here; and new cosmetic options. Is playing this game fun or a sign of mental instability because why would you do this to yourself? Gameplay If you asked me to explain the lore of Elden Ring, I'd struggle because there's a lot going on and not a lot of explanation. The game takes place in the Lands Between, a place ravaged by warring demigods, a big glowing tree and plenty of backstabbing. Truly to try and explain the story of the game would ruin the fun of finding all of the lore - something I'm still doing one whole platinum trophy later. Elde...

The Blood of Dawnwalker – PS5 Review

It's hard to remember the last time a developer's debut videogame has had this much hype. But Rebel Wolves' The Blood of Dawnwalker has had a lot of industry veterans working on it. So, it should live up to the hype, right? Well, we've seen many a game fail to do so over the years. Will The Blood of Dawnwalker be any different? The Blood of Dawnwalker is out now, and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Blood of Dawnwalker Made Me Afraid of Vampires Again I won't be getting into any spoilers in this review, as The Blood of Dawnwalker is a narrative-heavy title. An incredibly dark one at that! You play as Coen, a young man that lives in a village ruled by vampires. Said vampires (known as Vrakhiri in game) are led by the ruthless, unjust Brencis. Each month, ...

1666: Amsterdam – PC Early Access Review

Despite having a fascinating setting and art direction, 1666: Amsterdam’s early access state suffers from multiple technical issues that need ironing out. Developed by the indie studio Panache Digital Games, 1666: Amsterdam genuinely caught my attention when I first saw it during this year’s Summer Game Fest. Available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, the game is currently in early access. However, the game’s going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting during this early access period if it wants to recover the goodwill it lost because of performance and AI-related issues. Abracadabra Alakazam 1666: Amsterdam’s historical and supernatural setting already captivated many who first saw it. The game’s demo was excellent, and the early access retains much of the feel that many expect....

It releases on September 22nd for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo.

Let me tell you about it in the review below! Gameplay Graveyard Keeper 2 is a tongue-in-cheek graveyard and life management sim. It’s a...

DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction PC Review

DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction is an Action, Adventure, Simulation from Soda Game Studio. With publishing assistance from Infini Fun. This game in one word is chaos. And when I mean chaos, I don't mean the good or bad chaos or even pure chaos. Somehow it reaches a neutral leave of chaos that makes you wonder why. Now, I'm going to let you guys dig into the review and decide for yourselves the level of chaos this game brings. I can understand we're collecting alien tech, but why are the alien energy cells shaped like cooked duck!? Gameplay DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction lets you choose from a small pool of characters when starting for the first time. You can then pick between story, showdown and other modes. But, because I was playing solo, Story Mode was my only choice. The main obj...

Beast of Reincarnation PC Review

Beast of Reincarnation is an Action, Adventure, RPG from the studio GAME FREAK. Yes, the studio that makes almost only Pokemon religiously made another game. Which still has us fighting alongside a beast of some type however we can't choose who it is. But, I wouldn't trade Koo for anything in the world. Now lets go fetch us some Nishi to eat and start the review! So, I can raise normal chickens, but in this world I can get golden eggs but not GOLDEN CHICKENS!!!! Gameplay In Beast of Reincarnation, we play as Emma. A young girl who is a Purifier or a Stain person that everyone calls her because she's just like the beasts. Her ponytail exhibits similar traits to Koo's tail and some of the enemies we come across. The world has a few automatons or golems as they call it who get corrupt. T...

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition – PC Review

Aspyr Media has moved on from the old school Tomb Raiders and have recently set their sights on The Lord of the Rings: War in the North.

It's an exploration into the darker side of Middle Earth and you can take up to two friends along for the ride with you. This game is the epitome of old school RPGs.

EVERSPACE 2: Galactic Edition – Switch 2 Review

Space games have always been a bit of a mixed bag for me. There are some absolute classics out there, such as Star Wars Squadrons, Elite, Federation of Free Traders (yeah, I'm showing my age with that last one). Still, quite a few can be either too complicated, too slow or just feel like you're spending more time looking at menus than actually flying a spaceship. EVERSPACE 2 manages to avoid most of those problems by mixing fast-paced space combat with exploration, RPG mechanics, loot, crafting and a surprisingly substantial story. Originally released on PC in 2023 before making its way onto PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, EVERSPACE 2 has now arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 in the form of the Galactic Edition. This is the complete package, including the main game, the Titans expansion, ...

Duskfade – PS5 Review

Jump, swing, and slash your way through a throwback 3D platformer in Duskfade! Coming to us from developer Weird Beluga, Duskfade harkens back to classic action platformers from the sixth-generation of consoles. Available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, is Duskfade a fun evolution of games gone by? Or is it just another title stuck in the past? Duskfade: A Stunning Homage to PS2 Classics Duskfade opens with a seemingly light-hearted narrative. Protagonist Zirian and his sister Allira live in Tick Town, where everything seems like a Disney-esque fairytale. That is, until Allira locks herself away to work on a secret project. This then leads to something going awry: their home exploding. and reality being ripped apart. Now, where their home once wa...
