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

Superhot
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
Darkest Dungeon
Darkest Dungeon is one my favorite games that I always find myself returning to. The Aesthetic of the game is so immersive, with darkened, muted colors in an eldritch hellscape that your intrepid adventurers delve into. The gothic horror seeps into every facet of the game, making the player have an actual sense of growing… Continue reading Darkest Dungeon

Star Ruler 2
If there is one word I could use to summarize Star Ruler 2, it would be: Scale. No 4x game I have played has ever gotten the true scope of how big space can be as well as Star Ruler 2. Every single part of this game focuses on the macro scale of performance. By… Continue reading Star Ruler 2
Endless Space 2
At its core, Endless Space 2 is a rather basic 4x strategy game. It hits almost every gameplay loop that you expect from the genre, and it does little in this department from standing out from the more interesting competitors. Real riveting start for a review that I'm suggesting, right? What this game does to… Continue reading Endless Space 2
This War of Mine
Many games are shown from the side of the hero in the war. Guns are blazing, buildings are exploding and the opponents are perishing at your valor. Think for a second, what about everyone else involved in this war of yours? That house you blew up what someone’s home, where memories, families, and experiences were… Continue reading This War of Mine
Crusader Kings 2
Some would say that the Middle Ages were…tumultuous. Spanning from the 8th Century, to the close of the 15th, it was a period of time mired by incestuous blood feuds, wars with the pope, or constant political backstabs…or at least that was what happened in my latest game of Crusader Kings 2. CK2 deviates from… Continue reading Crusader Kings 2
