REVIEW – “ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard” utilizes a broad palette of iridescent creativity to make a bold puzzle platformer

author image by David Rodriguez | Nintendo Switch 2 PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 12 Feb 2026

It’s hard not to recommend ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard. The puzzles are satisfying, I felt immense satisfaction working within (and out of) its boundaries, and now I feel like I could apply to be in Mensa. The places it goes, literally and figuratively, are things I haven’t seen done in a game like this before. I’d hate to spoil any of the key moments so I won’t, suffice to say they all work incredibly well, from the easter egg references to other games and media, to things from Pixel Maniacs’ own creative minds.

[Steam Next Fest] Hands-On: I had to hold myself back from playing too much “Fallen Tear: The Ascension”

author image by Danreb Victorio | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Previews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 12 Feb 2026

I first saw Fallen Tear: The Ascencion after I received a press release promoting a trailer for the game. When I found out it was being developed by a studio in the Philippines, it had my full attention. My roots are important to me.

Romeo is a Dead Man is a great action title with some bloody combat, but it’s a bit too messy in its delivery.

REVIEW – “Highguard” is fun, frenetic, and deserves a fair shot from genre fans

author image by David Rodriguez | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 06 Feb 2026

There is absolutely fun to be had and I’ve been solo queuing this whole time so far. Finding good loot is exhilarating, strategizing on the spot during a raid is demanding yet rewarding (if you win anyway), and the plethora of content on the horizon is enticing. I may be biased toward this sort of game, but it’s only going to win me over with solid gameplay, compelling design, and respect for the player. Highguard has all of that so far.

REVIEW – Despite divisive changes on a divisive classic, “Dragon Quest VII Reimagined” is a fascinating modern take

author image by Leigh Lamb | Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 02 Feb 2026

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is a fascinating game to review because it takes modern sensibilities that players have come to expect and applies them to the most divisive entry in the series. I do think the game loses something in…

While not too much content, Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Visions of Four Heroes is still just as good as the original, keeping the fun of the Musou gameplay and story.

REVIEW – “Cairn” is another fantastic ‘You actually like this?’ simulator

author image by Danreb Victorio | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 29 Jan 2026

Every time I got to a base on the mountain where I could walk a little and set up camp, I’d take a look back at the distance and remember what it took to get up there. The fact that a video game can make me think all that really makes it special.

“Milano’s Odd Job Collection” Review

author image by Theresa Samons | Nintendo Switch PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox One Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 11 Dec 2025

It’s frustrating when there’s a game you want to play, but it wasn’t brought over to the US and buying the original is … pricey. Back in 1999, there weren’t many casual games, and Milano’s Odd Job Collection offered a…

“Call of Duty Black Ops 7” Review

author image by Michael Murphy | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 09 Dec 2025

The Call of Duty franchise has, more or less, run the FPS show since debuting in 2003. From the great (like Black Ops 2) to the bad (like 2022’s Modern Warfare 3), it always manages to sell well every year….
