Maskmaker Review – Wonderfully Intricate But Familiar

Maskmaker offers arresting atmosphere and intricate design, but it doesn’t have much new to say with its base mechanics. More in our Maskmaker review! Maskmaker wears a lot of hats or, forgive me, masks. On the surface it’s an enjoyable, if somewhat lightweight puzzle adventure that explores a similar mechanic to Accounting, Virtual Virtual Reality […]

MLB The Show 21 – Review In Progress

MLB The Show 21’s stadiums are at full capacity with fans basking in the summer sun and eating hot dogs as they cheer on the home team. It’s a vision of a pandemic-free world, something we all desperately hope to return to. This ideal scenario vanishes when the final out is recorded and the players […]

Carly And The Reaperman Review – Great VR Co-Op

Carly and the Reaperman’s winning central mechanic is bolstered by great level design and versatile options, helping you overlook its scrappier side. More in our Carly and the Reaperman review!

Outriders Review: Just Skip All The Cutscenes

Outriders would have been much better off as a live service game. The 25-hour campaign is an overstuffed slog with an excruciatingly slow leveling process that never allows you to engage with the crunchy RPG systems in a meaningful way. Once the story is over, the end game systems kick in and Outriders finally hits […]

Outriders – Review In Progress

Review codes for Outriders went out a day before launch, so I haven’t been able to explore every nook and cranny of People Can Fly’s cooperative shooter/RPG, but from what I have played, I can say I’m enjoying my time with it immensely. This game is chaos in the best possible way, evoking thoughts of games […]

Monster Hunter Rise Review – Runt Of The Litter

Monster Hunter: World was an important paradigm shift for Capcom’s beloved franchise. The well-paced difficulty ramp made progression enjoyable for newcomers, while countless endgame challenges kept expert hunters coming back for more. Monster Hunter Rise’s gameplay often attempts to copy World’s success, which isn’t always a bad thing. Battles continue to be an exhilarating dance […]
