I am so bad at Sektori, but I love it so much. Originally released back in 2025, to some blistering good reviews, but only some (for some weird reason, the game has largely missed critics and audiences alike), Sektori is finally available on the Nintendo Switch 2, which I would…

I firmly believe that a good headset is worth the investment. You can find headsets out there for under $100, in supermarkets or discount stores. They’re often convenient and wireless, and I’m not going to suggest they don’t work, because they do. But so much effort goes into sound design…

When Tales of Arise was released back in 2021, it was a pretty pointed and interesting essay on oppression, revolution, and what comes after. You can probably see where this review of the new Switch 2 complete release, coming in 2026, is going. As I noted in my review of…

I almost forgot about Supermassive Games’ Dark Pictures Anthology. That’s not from a lack of quality – each title in the series to date has been very worthy – but it’s just that things move quickly in video games and the Dark Pictures titles don’t quite have the longevity behind…

There was a moment there where I thought that my issues with the big AAA-blockbuster space were with me. That I’d become jaded from having played far too many games, and seeing how the sausage gets made first-hand, and therefore I had lost perspective. Yet Pragmata then came and demonstrated…

Heroes of Might and Magic is finally back, and I couldn’t be happier. This is one of my favourite franchises of all – I even have the entire, expanded board game adaptation of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 thanks to a very generous brother who bought the whole damn…

Fuck AI. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it. Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi is a good example of why game developers should never touch Gen AI. It’s an actual insult to the intelligence that Kazuma Kaneko would actually put his name to this and believe that people would just accept it. For…
