EARLY ACCESS REVIEW – “Fallen Tear: The Ascension” dazzles with supreme visuals and solid fundamentals

author image by David Rodriguez | PC Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 29 Jun 2026

Fallen Tear at $20 is a solid investment at this time. Even if you don’t play it until it hits its 1.0 release, it’ll pay to be an early adopter before the price goes up because it’s definitely one of the better Metroidvanias I’ve played in a while.

DLC DEEP DIVE – Omnissiah be praised, the Skitarii bring fanatical technicality and deep customization to “Warhammer 40,000: Darktide”

author image by David Rodriguez | PC Previews Steam Steam Next Fest Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 18 Jun 2026

The art is colorful and pristine, the gameplay and premise beckons comparisons to games like Crazy Taxi, the Katamari series, and another indie darling Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom. This is worth checking out for the absurdist anime slant alone.

[Steam Next Fest] HANDS-ON: “BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER BEFORE 4” reminds that sometimes games just need to be fun, ridiculous, and Brazilian

author image by David Rodriguez | PC Previews Steam Steam Next Fest | 0 Comments | 17 Jun 2026

This is obviously not going to be for everyone, but developer Joeveno has earned a cult following with this rambunctious, vivid, trippy, and esoteric look into a very minutely pinpointed aspect of Brazil’s cultural history. That it’s in the form of a boomer shooter just makes it potentially enjoyable by more people who are into that sort of thing (me!).

author image by David Rodriguez | PC Previews Steam | 0 Comments | 16 Jun 2026

The Walking Dead has a hell of a past with video game adaptations and unless there’s something big in store for the final release of Streets of Survival, it’s looking to stay that way.

REVIEW – “River City Saga: Journey to the West” delights as an action roguelite with both source materials, even at its most derivative

author image by David Rodriguez | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 16 Jun 2026

River City Saga: Journey to the West is one more River City/Kunio-kun fans than roguelite fans in my opinion as the elements from that series really make this game worth playing. For raw action roguelite enjoyment, there are better games for sure.

REVIEW – Despite some hangups and baffling design choices, “NBA THE RUN” charms with its culture-first, fun iteration of basketball

author image by David Rodriguez | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 12 Jun 2026

If there’s one thing I know about the NBA and basketball, it’s that there’s a curious amount of dudes named Ja(y)len in the league. If there are two things I know, the second is that it’s a culture in addition…

HANDS-ON – “Kidbash: Super Legend” knows its influences and iterates on them quite well with roguelite action

author image by David Rodriguez | PC Previews Steam | 0 Comments | 29 May 2026

Kidbash: Super Legends is a fun time. With missions, weapon variants and upgrades, stat boosts, and other stuff planned for the full game, it’s shaping up to be a scrappy little platformer for the ’90s kid, made to be repeatable at its core.

REVIEW – Despite sizable flaws, “STARBITES” enthralls with great combat and characters in a ruined, desperate world

author image by David Rodriguez | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 18 May 2026

STARBITES has a lot going for it. The things that bothered me with this game were not fundamental enough to keep me from playing to the very end, and that makes for an overall, convincing win. It has ample charisma, a good message, and plenty of heart.
