Planet Coaster 2 (Xbox Series X) Review

Planet Coaster is one of the games I have played the most on the Xbox Series X. As a huge fan of sandbox-style simulation games and evidently a theme park nerd, this series is tailor-made for my niche interests. I also adored…

Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Xbox Series X) Review

One of my favorite game franchises of the PS2 era, Dynasty Warriors, gets a lot of flack from the larger gaming community. It’s a button masher; you’re facing mostly hordes of helpless enemies, and you’re simply spamming until you can hit a single…

Cuisineer (Xbox Series X) Review

I’m not a complicated person. Can you give me a game where I can hunt for resources, craft items, make money, and improve my gear? I’m totally in. Now, if you throw in restaurant management simulation elements and a cast of cozy,…

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Multiplayer (Xbox Series X) Review

The Call of Duty franchise needs little introduction, but for some who have left the series behind in recent entries, it might be time for a reintroduction. The core elements that have made the games one of the highest-grossing titles nearly every…

Life is Strange: Double Exposure (Xbox Series X) Review

Life is Strange gained a passionate fanbase following one of the most memorable stories in video games upon its release in 2015. Max and Chloe are synonymous with the medium’s most emotional, effective narratives since its inception. Since then, we’ve experienced relatively…

Metaphor: ReFantazio (Xbox Series X) Review

A great RPG requires the player to feel surrounded by the world a game invites them in to. Atlus has never had a hard time inventing exciting characters and stories, but the world of Metaphor: ReFantazio might be their best. While it’s impossible…

Kena: Bridge of Spirits (Xbox Series X) Review

We’re in a strange age of video gaming where some games don’t stay exclusive forever. I’m grateful that this is a growing trend, seeing as people should be able to play great games no matter where they play. Ember Lab’s Kena: Bridge…

Madden 25 (Xbox Series X) Review

Every annual release of Madden brings excitement for the upcoming NFL season, and if we’re lucky, new improvements to the long-running franchise. Madden 25 doesn’t feel like the insane jump forward that past entries have, but that’s because consistent improvements have allowed the game’s…

EA Sports College Football 25 (Xbox Series X) Review

It’s been a long wait, but we’ve returned to the college football world on PC and consoles. Following a lawsuit in the mid-2010s, the long-running EA NCAA College Football franchise was halted. Now, in the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era for…

TopSpin 2K25 (Xbox Series X) Review

In 2011, TopSpin 4 was released with Metacritic scores in the low to mid-80s. Despite the seemingly successful launch, we would not see another game in the franchise for 13 years. 2K’s relaunch of the series captures a satisfying snapshot of tennis in…
