I was on my third playthrough. I began a familiar quest, but this time I realized I could enlist the help of an entirely different character and bypass a particularly challenging section. This is an example of the delightful surprises that kept me engaged with Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven for three playthroughs, unlocking all achievements. Indeed, throughout my time playing, I continued to be amazed by the intelligent game design, smart balance, and fantastic pacing of the entire experience. I adore this game; please allow me to tell you why. Continue reading Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Review: Old-School Charms

Starfield Review: A Galactic Letdown
Here we are five months after the release of Starfield, but I just finished my review. This delay is because Starfield has been a significant slog to get through. Simply put, over my 100+ hours, there have been a handful of excellent moments mixed with a whole universe saturated by shallow and bland content. If you can’t tell already, this review isn’t going to be very favorable. Continue reading Starfield Review: A Galactic Letdown
Shadow Gambit : The Cursed Crew PC Review
Intro
Developer Mimimi Games has given us some excellent games, such as 2016’s Shadow Tactics and 2020’s Desperados III. Mimimi’s next game is finally here: Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. I actually played through Desperados III and all its DLC right before playing Shadow Gambit, so it’s nice to be able to make a fresh comparison. How well does it stack up to the previous games? Let’s find out. Continue reading Shadow Gambit : The Cursed Crew PC Review
Aliens Dark Descent PC Review
Intro
As a huge Aliens fan, I’m always excited to see a new game in this universe. This time around we get Aliens: Dark Descent, a real-time, squad-based tactical game, developed by Tindalos Interactive. Continue reading Aliens Dark Descent PC Review
Diablo IV Review: A Homecoming
It was June 2000. I was seventeen years old. School just got out for the summer. Then Diablo II unleashed upon the PC gaming world. My dear dad (rest his soul) generously bought several copies of the game for my friends and me. We spent the summer having LAN parties at my house, trying to overcome evil, one mouse click at a time. Those were the days. Continue reading Diablo IV Review: A Homecoming
Star Wars Jedi Survivor PC Review
When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released back in 2019, I wasn’t initially very interested in it. I ended up getting it at a good price and enjoyed it, so I’ve been looking forward to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. After 30 hours spent playing through the story and some side content, here are my thoughts. Continue reading Star Wars Jedi Survivor PC Review
Resident Evil 4 2023 PC Review
I’ve always enjoyed the Resident Evil series. I played the first games years ago on my PS1 and Resident Evil 4 on my PC when it was released in 2007. Even though I played through RE4 a few times back then, it’s been around 18 years since I’ve touched it. Continue reading Resident Evil 4 2023 PC Review
Hogwarts Legacy PC Review
I’ll be honest here, I’ve never had much of an interest in the Harry Potter series. I didn’t read the books, and in fact, I hadn’t watched most of the movies until recently (and that was to specifically prepare for the launch of the game, so I can write a more extensive review). Continue reading Hogwarts Legacy PC Review
Hi-Fi Rush PC Review
So, Hi-Fi Rush just shadow dropped out of nowhere, with little to no marketing behind it. It just kind of released. Developed by Tango Gameworks the studio behind The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2 and Ghostwire Tokyo, comes this surprise. Is it worth it? Well, I’ve finished the campaign, and then some, which took me around 13 hours and here are my thoughts. Continue reading Hi-Fi Rush PC Review
Dwarf Fortress Premium PC Review
Dwarf Fortress has been around since 2006 and I’ve actually been wanting to try it for years, but the ASCII visuals combined with the complexity of the game was somewhat of a deterrent. Although I did consider using a skin pack, I never got around to actually playing it. To my surprise though, a Steam premium version was released with mouse control, a UI and a visual overhaul, so this seemed like a perfect opportunity for me to finally try the game.
