Ash is back with his boomstick in Evil Dead: The Game. The past decade has been pretty good for Evil Dead fans. Between the 2013 film reboot, the well-received Starz television show Ash vs. Evil Dead, and the announcement of a new video game, Sam Raimi’s horror-comedy franchise is alive and kicking. In fact, the … Read more
Ready to clown around? Ayo the Clown is an indie game that you could easily miss scrolling through the Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop, or Steam. This colorful game with a kid-friendly facade looked interesting when I first heard about it. (I wrote about it in this news article in March.) Thankfully, it also has some … Read more
Syberia: The World Before will feel instantly familiar to those who have played adventure games. I went into Syberia: The World Before expecting a standalone title that didn’t require knowledge of the games before it. It’s a long-running franchise, so I didn’t expect they would still be connected after all this time. However, this was … Read more

One more year since the arrival of the sci-fi franchise that transcended the genre and became a pop culture icon. As every year, all fans of the incredible work of George Lucas celebrate today May 4th … Read more
Tunic is a beautiful and charming little indie title that harkens back to the old-school Legend of Zelda releases that clearly inspired it. We’ve had no shortage of games lately that have been built around patience and deliberate actions: Sifu and Elden Ring kicked things off for February. Now comes Tunic, an adorable Zelda-inspired adventure … Read more
Sifu’s striking visuals and tough, well designed combat encounters make for an exhilarating but often frustrating experience. It’s interesting having had two unforgiving games released in the same month: Devolver and Sloclap’s Sifu and FromSoftware’s latest title. However, much like Elden Ring, Sifu offers an incredible challenge, one that comes with the same sense of … Read more
You’re forgiven if you haven’t heard of Moto Roader MC. First released in 1992, this retro racer is getting a second life on modern consoles thirty years after its original launch. As they are wont to do, Ratalaika Games has resurrected this long-dormant game from the dustbin of gaming history. There are a few different … Read more
With a huge, beautiful open world filled to the absolute brim with bosses to fight and dungeons to explore, Elden Ring was worth the wait. After years of little to no information, it’s finally here; the latest release from Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware: Elden Ring. I’ve spent the last week and a half playing this … Read more
Handy Games recently released the Western-themed stealth game El Hijo: A Wild West Tale on Android and iOS devices. Previously only available on PC and consoles, the game is now on mobile devices.

Rainbow Six Extraction might not be the tactical sequel fans of the franchise were looking for, but it’s a hell of a lot of fun with friends. On paper, Rainbow Six Extraction probably isn’t what fans of the long-running tactical franchise were looking for from the next release. A slower-paced romp through a series of … Read more
Mobile gaming used to get a bad rap among hardcore gamers. Thanks to services like Apple Arcade and Xbox Game Pass, mobile no longer caters to just casual players. Since hardcore gamers are playing more on their phones, it only makes sense that more companies are looking to offer controller solutions. While both the Xbox … Read more
Who knew that merging things was any fun? If you have not heard of it, Merge Dragons is a mobile puzzle game from Zynga. They are best known for casual games like Farmville 3 and Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells. Although this is safely in the casual space, it is quite distinct from the rest … Read more
Marsupilami: Hoobadventure is a surprisingly decent platformer. Although it’s rated E with a design that seems geared towards a younger audience, the gameplay is actually fairly challenging. Honestly, while it looked cute, I was expecting a run-of-the-mill platformer. And although Marsupilami: Hoobadventure certainly checks a lot of the boxes that you would expect from a … Read more
Call of Duty: Vanguard is a competent World War II shooter that doesn’t take many risks or do much to innovate. Another calendar year means we get another Call of Duty title. It’s now the most reliable franchise in the industry for annual releases. This year, Sledgehammer Games takes the reins with another foray into … Read more

The VelocityOne Flight simulation controller, which was unveiled at E3, was the fastest pre-ordered device in Turtle Beach’s history. The controller sold out in less than a day … Read more
Riders Republic is a nostalgic and fitting return to extreme sports titles from previous generations. I’ll admit it. Riders Republic surprised me. It was a game that I had little interest in going into launch, but after not caring for Far Cry 6, I was looking for something to play. Ubisoft’s last open-world sports game, … Read more
The Eternal Cylinder is a beautiful and incredibly charming survival adventure title that oozes creativity. The Eternal Cylinder is a weird pitch for a game. Players take control of the Trebhum, a small subspecies of creatures that are light on their feet yet still curl up into a ball and roll around to get places … Read more
