I've sampled many of Puppet Combo's questionable delights, and been sadly frustrated by many of them. This game, however, is quite something else. Released on PC and last year and consoles just recently, Night at the Gates of Hell finally pinged my radar and I just had to talk about it.

Unity's "Runtime Fee," a rather grotesque scheme where it plans to charge fees for game installations, has been met with a rather predictable backlash. Let's join in!

It's not often I get a review up before a game is out, but here ya go! I played Lies of P, and I enjoyed it! Check out what I thought about Pinocchio-but-Bloodborne by CLICKING HERE!

I've made no secret of the fact that I am not impressed by Starfield, a game I find regressive, archaic, and insultingly bereft of imagination. Would you like a more detailed pummeling of the game? CLICK HERE for your wish to be granted!

It’s a good scene and all, but…

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon (45:05)
Goodbye Volcano High (54:25)
Halls of Torment (1:01:10)
Sea of Stars (1:02:55)
Starfield is a Bethesda game, and despite what the reviews claim, it is NOT polished. While we make fun of how buggy it is, we also discuss encumbrance as a game mechanic... because it's terrible.

Immortals of Aveum is one of the most aggressively mediocre games I've ever seen. Its commitment to being mid is almost impressive, its regurgitation of plot tropes almost stunning. Anyway, I reviewed it and you can CLICK HERE for the full thing!

Bridget is trans, Baldur's Gate 3 is gay, and you can't mod marginalized people out of existence. You're gonna have to get used to it, or suck it. There will be no reasonable debate.

My Friendly Neighborhood took me by surprise - despite seeing people gush about it, I expected yet another "creepy kiddy mascot" horror game. I didn't except a neat blend of BioShock and Resident Evil with killer muppets. You can read my review by CLICKING HERE 2023-08-23 10:42:07 +0000 UTC View Post
Is "save scumming" the best way to play an RPG? Is it a valuable and valid tool, or a dishonorable insult to a videogame's intended experience? Baldur's Gate 3, Disco Elysium, Bras, and Boglins may have the answer...

Larian Studios absolutely scored gold with Baldur's Gate 3. An incredible game, its qualities are nigh untouchable... and that's the thorny issue. It's being called the new industry standard, but there's some debate over whether such a standard is even attainable by most developers.
Let's talk about how amazing Baldur's Gate 3 is, and the contentiousness around its potential ...

The Last Hope: Dead Zone Survival, that terrible asset flip masquerading as plagiarism of The Last of Us, has been removed from the Nintendo Switch eShop amid copyright claims from Sony. Firstly, LOL! Secondly, grrrrrr!
So, there's a reason I'm kind of annoyed at it, and it's that an accusation of copyright infringement is almost a compliment to a game this lazy and deceptive....

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos came out all the way back in March, but I missed it despite being fascinated by the Zeno Clash series. I am so very glad I stumbled upon it by chance, however, because it's one of the most beautiful games I've played this year.

Nintendo has a real problem with asset flips and shovelware on the Switch's eShop. From the scourge of AAA Clock to the horrifically bad output of Pix Arts, there's a lot of slime to cut through if you want to browse, and Nintendo's doing less than nothing about it. So much for the seal of approval!

While I love writing positive reviews more than negative ones, sometimes I play something so antagonistic I can't wait to drain the venom through my metaphorical pen.

Exoprimal has been written off by many as another "live service" humper of bandwagons, an also-ran that exists to make a quick buck. It's hard to blame them, because that is exactly the kind of trash Exoprimal pretends to be.
It's actually a rather brilliant bit of fun, and more unique than it appears. Capcom's dinosaur shooter is, however, indicative of a problem we're facin...

I've been playing Exoprimal to a worryingly obsessive degree since it came out. While it looks like another "me too" service game, its trappings hide a genuinely wonderful arcadey dinosaur game. You can read my full thoughts if you feel like CLICKING HERE 2023-07-21 15:10:50 +0000 UTC View Post

It's just a simple video about a videogame, like any other videogame video. Totally not about Zenimax and Bethesda being horrible to an employee. Not at all.
