Masterclass in Anti-Fatigue Open World Design | Ghost of Yotei Review

Ghost of Yotei, the newest installment in the acclaimed feudal Japan action series, shifts the stage to Ezo/Hokkaido Japan, introducing a new protagonist, Atsu, and a razor-sharp revenge narrative. Set during a tumultuous period, the game follows Atsu as she embraces the path of the Ghost to hunt down her targets. While built upon the foundations of its predecessors, Yotei immediately distinguishes itself by prioritizing refined gameplay flow and anti-fatigue design over overwhelming map density, setting it up as a truly modern open-world experience.

The Most Creative, Imaginative, Co-op Game To Date | Split Fiction Review

Split Fiction is an exclusively two-player experience defined by its literal split screen. One player navigates a high-fantasy setting of elves, dragons, and ancient ruins. The other exists in a neon-drenched, chrome-plated sci-fi world full of robots and laser grids. The brilliance lies in how these two separate realities constantly overlap, making it arguably one of the most creative level and game mechanic designs for a co-op game, or any video game, ever.

A must-play narratively driven RPG and technical showcase | Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Review review

The stars finally lined up, and I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 almost five years after its release. Honestly, I didn’t even know what to expect. My hype and expectations for the game have been on a rollercoaster these past few years, but I can honestly say the experience of playing it for the first time in 2025 was still beyond what I expected, given its history.

A soothing slice-of-life romantic adventure that's wonderfully genuine | Haven Review review

Haven is a compelling, highly stylized adventure that excels as a genuine slice-of-life romantic story in a unique science fiction setting. Though often classified as an RPG or survival game, its true appeal lies in its cozy atmosphere and rhythmic flow. You follow two fugitives, Yu and Kay, as they glide across beautiful, fragmented alien landscapes to survive and strengthen their bond.
