The Serpent Rogue (PS5) Review

When I first heard about The Serpent Rogue, I thought by the title that I’d be in for a fantastical roguelike. Imagine my surprise when I did some deep-diving and found a plague doctor up against the elements with nothing but the ability…

Vampire the Masquerade – Swansong (PlayStation 5) Review

This review has taken me twice as long as it should have to prepare. I love vampires, and I have for a very long time. As such, I find the world of Vampire: The Masquerade to be endlessly fascinating. Vampire: The Masquerade…

Eiyuden Chronicle Rising (PS5) Review

2020’s most highly funded Kickstarter excited me greatly. It was for a game called Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. It is inspired by games like Suikoden from the PS1 and PS2 eras and brings back mechanics close to my heart. While Hundred Heroes…

Tales of Arise (PS5) Review

Tales of Arise is the newest entry in the long-running Tales series and after a few years of planning and production, the execution is nearly flawless. From top to bottom, the mechanics of the game complement every activity you’ll be part-taking in…

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! (PS5) Review

Wow! What else is there to say about Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! (DDLC+)? It’s equally as cute as it is terrifying. Originally launching solely on PC back in 2017, Doki Doki Literature Club received an enhanced re-release known as Doki Doki…
