Latest Reviews

Honest, in-depth reviews from gamers who actually finish the game. No early access bias. No publisher pressure.

Action RPG

Elden Ring: Nightreign

9.2

FromSoftware delivers a co-op roguelike set in the Lands Between that somehow feels both fresh and faithfully Souls. The randomized nightfall mechanic is genius.

Roguelike

Hades III

9.5

Supergiant somehow topped perfection. The Olympus setting, expanded boon system, and Melinoe's moveset make every run feel like a new story unfolding.

Metroidvania

Hollow Knight: Silksong

9.0

The wait was worth it. Hornet's speed-focused combat and the vertically-designed kingdom of Pharloom set a new bar for the Metroidvania genre.

Sandbox

Minecraft Nether Update 2.0

8.8

Three new biomes, rideable Striders, and the Warden's cousin lurking in ash dunes. Mojang proves the Nether still has secrets worth dying for.

Full Review →
Space RPG

Starfield: Shattered Space

7.5

A step in the right direction with handcrafted environments and tighter questlines, but Bethesda still can't quite nail the emptiness between the stars.

Action-Adventure

Indie Spotlight: Neva

8.7

From the creators of GRIS comes a wordless masterpiece about loss, growth, and a wolf companion that will absolutely wreck you emotionally. Pure art.
