You’re flying. Floating above the ground, turning, spinning, and moving across the room. You lose control, find yourself upside down and begin to laugh. It’s silly. Absurd, honestly. Yet, it’s blissful and wonderful all the same. You are flying. Well,…

Perception Review
Two hours into my playthrough of Perception, a first-person horror game where you embody a young blind woman who uses echolocation to see the world around her, I discovered the story of a character by the name of Betty. Betty…
Specter of Torment Review
The baseline Shovel Knight is an excellent addition to anyone’s list of “classic games,” whether it came out in 2014 or not. It so beautifully fits into a niche where others try and try again, but fail, and Yacht Club…
Emily is Away Too Review
“Emily, who is Emily? My mother would say she’s everyone. Every girl, every boy, every person that anyone has ever loved” This beautiful and insightful quote opens Emily is Away Too. This is the first thing you see and this is…

Night in the Woods Review
“A Blueness, A Youness, A Dankness, A Thankness.” Sometimes a positive outlook and reassurance that things are going to be okay can be comforting, but sometimes I’ve found that a bit of realism with a dash pessimism can create its…
Sublevel Zero Redux Review
Sublevel Zero Redux is a 360 degree cock pit shooter that plays with roguelike tendencies. The reason why I say that is because every map in the game is procedurally generated as are the enemies that appear. The gameplay is very…
Resident Evil VII: Biohazard Review
Resident Evil VII: Biohazard is a reformation to the series and roots of survival horror. We live in times of streamers, and the hype of the latest horror game to be streamed for others to take in. Capcom has done that…
