Borderlands 3: How to make a better sequel frustrating

I’ve put hundreds of hours into Borderlands 2 and as I finally started my journey with the long awaited sequel, I started thinking back on it and remembering my time with it; the memorable characters and solid jokes, the interesting villain that was Handsome Jack, and the fantastic, loot-oriented gameplay loop that had me hooked, […]

The 1 to 5 on games: The Solitaire Conspiracy

This format is a shorter, more to the point, off-shot of the normal review/op-eds I normally do. A ranking will be given at the end from a scale that starts at (from the lowest to the highest): Bad – meh – fine – good – great. Anything not appropriate for these “scores” will likely warrant […]

Welcome to Elk review

Welcome to Elk was one of my most anticipated games of the year; its mixture of a novel art style with some unique ragdoll effects for the characters, alongside a personal and more artistic story with some fun and weird mini-games, as well as FMV segments to tell a quirkier narrative, was something that appealed […]

Kunai review

Kunai is an action platformer with an eye-catching art-style, and it’s beyond just great; it feels excellent to play, it has great enemy variety and boss design, a great soundtrack, and an engaging world to explore and traverse through, partly because its traversal mechanics are so good and partly because the Metroidvania aspect of the […]
