Review by Matt S.I wish Ubisoft would ditch the open-world nonsense of Assassin’s Creed to focus on what the series does best: historical-based storytelling. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla does a better job of giving us an authentic take on Viking history, lore, and the cultural characterisation than most other games out…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We are doing something very different with this review. It’s an experiment for now, and who knows how it will go in the future. Hopefully, we can do more of these in kind, but if they’re not working like we hope, then we can always pull…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a game that fans have been waiting for for over 20 years now. With the highly talented Larian Studios behind it, the game delivers in many ways – it’s gorgeous to look at, expansive in scope, and offers excellent, classical RPG…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. Why, oh why, did I click that “play” button? I knew going in that there was a risk that Baldur’s Gate 3 would somehow mess with my nostalgia and deep reverence for the series. Baldur’s Gate 1 is possibly my most played and replayed game ever,…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. In Warsaw, players take the role of the Polish resistance against the occupying Nazi forces towards the end of World War 2.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Vampire’s Fall: Origins looks like one of those cheap Diablo-like knock-off RPGs that you see pop up from time to time. Gothic theme and isometric perspective? Check. Dour aesthetics and a dank world that must be miserable to live in? Yep. Aside from the shift from…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Post-apocalyptic stories in video games are tired, to say the least. Hell, they were already tired a decade ago, and the market saturation hasn’t slowed down in the least since then. That puts Wasteland 3 in a tricky position: it’s the continuation of a series that…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. I’ve had western RPGs on the mind recently, having played a bunch of them for review (and with Baldur’s Gate 3 to look forward to yet!). The western RPG is substantially different to the JRPGs that I usually cover on this channel, so I thought it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Kingdoms of Amalur is one of those legendary game failures… at least commercially. It was new and completely original, being based in no existing world or lore, and as a new venture, it was decadent in its ambition and scope. By Miku was it vocal about…
