The Red Strings Club did an excellent job at playing with my expectations in regards to just how an adventure game can deliver a compelling, multifaceted story set in a cyberpunk backdrop during my first time playing it. In a far-flung future, a mega corporation is about to introduce a technology aimed at forcibly introducing…
The fact that Black Mirror has become such a huge success over the last few years is nothing short of astounding. But some might be surprised to know that there’s another series of the same name that contains some of the more obscure cult adventure games on the PC. The latest entry, simply titled Black…
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor was easily one of the best games of 2014. It was a fresh take on the concept of open world, not only introducing one of the coolest character development mechanic in the Nemesis system, also combining some of the best elements of other games into one hell of a Lord of…
It’s been over a decade since I’ve last played a Call of Duty game.

There are games in which I just sit down, buckle up, and accept just about every crazy thing they throw at me, because they are just ridiculously fun and entertaining. A series which earned that place in my book is Wolfenstein. Ever since I was a kid, it’s been part of my gaming curriculum, starting…
Brazil Game Show 2017 was in full swing a couple of weeks ago, and I stopped by 11bit Studios’ charming booth to check out their wares on display. I came out extremely impressed by what the Polish studio brought over to the show. I was even more impressed by the fact that only one of…
The Evil Within 2 is a fantastic sequel to the flawed and criminally overlooked original. Where its predecessor failed, namely in pacing and frustrating sequences, this new game manages to excel, delivering one of the most entertaining action horror experiences in quite a while. It picks up a few years after the events of the…
