Great Games Waiting to be Discovered
So this is game is very special to me. Xcom 2 is by far my favorite game of all time. I've logged close to 1000 hours onto the game, with dozens of playthroughs within the save files. The depth of the complexity of all the systems that work inside of it hit every note that… Continue reading XCOM 2
Sundered is a hard topic for me to talk about, as it is one of the bare minimum of what I would recommend for people to play. The concept of the game is one of a great premise that wasn't fully tested and realized over time. That being said, the game is absolutely gorgeous. Every… Continue reading Sundered
Growing up, The Matrix trilogy was one of my favorite movie series from a spectacle standpoint. A lot of games have tried to nail the feeling of acting like Neo from the movie and dodging bullets in slow motion and act like a badass the whole time. Superhot is the game that I feel like… Continue reading Superhot

Paper's Please is a game that shouldn't work. At the core gampelay loop, it is simply you at a border checkpoint scanning people's paperwork. How the game manages to pull you in is how it pulls at your very core principles. How much of your humanity are you willing to give up in order to… Continue reading Paper’s Please
Marlow Briggs is campiness in video game form. It, by all accounts, shouldn't succeed. It is a blatant rip-off of traditional hack n' slash games that were everywhere in the late 00's and early 10's. It's combat is alright, but nothing to write home about, and most of the camera refuses to cooperate most of… Continue reading Marlow Briggs
