State Of Decay 2 Review: The Limping Dead
State of Decay 2 sometimes feels like a far-too-real representation of the mundane reality that comes with surviving a zombie apocalypse. Consistently being on the hunt for food, resources to craft ammunition, and survivors to bolster your ranks doesn’t always translate into a captivating gameplay loop–especially when you’re faced with horrors other than the countless...

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition Review – The Great Zelda Spin-Off Is Back
Hyrule Warriors is a beautiful, chaotic mess of a game. It’s got all the glossy rupees, imaginative monsters, and fashionable characters you’d expect from the Zelda series (and plenty you wouldn’t), topped off with some nods to the medieval hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors series. In place of puzzles and elaborate levels or side-quests, you’re here to... Read More »
Battle Chasers Nightwar Review: Switch It Up
Based on a hit comic book series from the late ’90s, Battle Chasers: Nightwar successfully translates the look and feel of a comic into a turn-based RPG.

Destiny 2: Warmind Review – Back To Work
Destiny 2 has been struggling to keep its players invested for a while now.

Pillars Of Eternity 2: Deadfire Review – A Pirate's Life For Me
Pillars of Eternity was something of a herald for the second golden age of classic computer role-playing games. It was an inspiration, and was quickly followed by games like Torment: Tides of Numenera and Tyranny, and plenty more have filled in the gaps since then. And that’s before we even get to the reboots and... Read More »
Battletech Review: A Tactical PC Game That Will Mech Your Day
