Mortal Kombat 11 Review – The Right Fight
The new big bad in Mortal Kombat is named Kronika, and she’s causing a ruckus by messing with time and rewriting history. Characters are getting erased or colliding with their past selves, while alliances are reverting and new ones are…
Earthfall Review: An Inferior Invasion
Leave it for dead. It’d be easy to dismiss Earthfall as nothing more than a Left 4 Dead clone, and you wouldn’t be wrong to do so. Despite riffing on well-known and beloved source material, Earthfall drags, with unremarkable missions and mediocre gunplay weighing…
Mordhau Review – Medieval Times
The sun beats down on the battlefield as the war cries of my fellow soldiers ring out. Catapults pelt us from a distance and the giant boulders explode onto the ground around us with a great thud, thinning our numbers…
Valorant Review – A Valiant Effort
Valorant hooks you match after match with tight, tactical gameplay, albeit in rather barebones fashion. Think Counter-Strike with hero elements. That’s the elevator pitch for Valorant, Riot Games’ debut on the competitive first-person shooter scene. I say that not to disparage Valorant, though….
Persona Q2 Review – You Oughta Be In Pictures

PlayStation 5 pre-orders are going to be extremely limited, so if you’re in the market for a PS5 this holiday season, you’ll want to register quickly. Although the PlayStation 5 is launching this year, we’re still missing some key info about the…
Jurassic World Evolution Review: Life Finds A Way
Whether you’re reminded of vicious raptors hunting terrified children, placid Brachiosaurus strolling verdant hills, or a scientist reaching elbow-deep into a mound of Triceratops dung, the words “Jurassic Park” can evoke some pretty powerful memories. Jurassic World Evolution reinforces these…
Anno 1800 Review – The Prettiest Spreadsheet
At the heart of any European town founded before the 19th century lies a church. It’s the same with Anno 1800. At the center of your city sits a magnificent cathedral, its spectacular steeple reaching for the heavens and illuminating the…
Pendragon Review – History Repeating
Pendragon is a fascinating but flawed experiment in procedural narrative. Legends are slippery things. One tells of Arthur, the once and future King of Britain who united the realm against the Saxon invaders. Where historical fact is elusive, literary fancy…
