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…
The Deer God, a game that originally came out in 2015 and is now making its way to the Nintendo Switch, is a lot like 2012’s Tokyo Jungle. That is, they’re both about animal survival. But unlike SIE Japan Studio’s cult favorite, though, The Deer God is much more straightforward in its approach. It’s a…
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor was easily one of the best games of 2014.

Some say that great creations never truly age, and six years is a lot in terms of videogames. In Skyrim’s case, the latest on a long-running series of ports and remasters, is a great version of the venerable fifth entry to The Elder Scrolls franchise, now on the go for the first time ever, thanks…
Assassin’s Creed Origins is perhaps the farthest that an entry in the franchise has gotten from what makes Assassin’s Creed… Assassin’s Creed. And at the same time, it’s the closest as any of them have ever gotten, considering that Origins is supposed to be exactly what the title suggests: the inception point of the entire…
I have to admit that I didn’t come too hot off of Bethesda’s reveal of Doom back at E3 2015. After years and years of languishing in development limbo, the little bit that was shown of Doom didn’t make an impact on me, but luckily, it turned out to be one of the best first-person…
In a sea of AAA games that take you hours upon hours to finish and see everything they have tucked away in in just about every nook and corner, High Hell is a fast paced indie shooter that can take you literally minutes to beat. Developed by Terri Vellmann and Doseone, High Hell takes a…
