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 – “4PGP” is a tribute to arcade racing through a very console lens

author image by Patrick Mifflin | Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PC Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 05 Feb 2026

The state of the arcade racing genre in 2026 is fascinating to say the least. Founding fathers Sega and Namco have been on a milk carton, apart from the surprising inclusion of Virtua Racing in the Sega Ages lineup over on Nintendo Switch, or the random Ridge Racer drop on Hamster’s Arcade Archives or the PlayStation Classics line. This has left the genre to a bunch of indie studios that have done a great job paying tribute to those old classics with games like Formula Retro Racing: World Tour, DDI Rally Championship, and most recently, Super Woden: Rally Edge. Tribute and succession are two different things, however, and as fun as a lot of these games can be, there’s a certain noticeable gap between them and the games that inspired them.

REVIEW – “Cozy Caravan” is a sweet deal at MSRP

author image by Theresa Samons | Articles iOS Mobile Nintendo Switch Nintendo Switch 2 PC Platforms Reviews Steam | 0 Comments | 03 Feb 2026

Cozy Caravan is only US$19.99, and I can’t stop thinking about that nearly every time I play. Driving the caravan along, looking at the scenery: “I can’t believe this is only $19.99.” Getting literally lost in the larger towns (and…

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…

“Demonschool” Review

author image by Michael Fertitta | Nintendo Switch PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 26 Nov 2025

Demonschool is a great strategy-RPG that clearly takes a lot of notes from its influences such as the Devil Summoner series, though admittedly it lacks a bit of the gameplay depth that those games have with regards to character stats. However, what Demonschool lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in its visual style, entertaining dialogue, and satisfying combat.

“Lumines Arise” Review

author image by Filippo Dinolfo | PC PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam VR | 0 Comments | 25 Nov 2025

This review should have been in over a week ago, but some odd circumstances, which I mentioned in my review-in-progress, kept that from happening. The good news is that the team at Enhance/Monstars were finally able to reproduce the issue I was having and figure out how to fix it. The better news is, if they’re willing to go to that effort for a bug that I would be pretty confident in saying only I have ever managed to trigger in gameplay, is a great sign for how much they care about what they’re making.

“R-Type Delta HD Boosted” Review

author image by Filippo Dinolfo | PC PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 Reviews Steam Xbox Series X | 0 Comments | 20 Nov 2025

R-Type Delta HD Boosted is a great game. It’s still the same brutal, unapologetic, and dark-as-hell shooter that came out back in the day. But now it’s here to torment you on your modern systems.

Winter Burrow is visually stunning, offers an enchanting atmosphere, and feels satisfying. Cozy gamers have been waiting for this game with bated breath, and I was cautious, hoping the game wouldn’t lose its flavor (so to speak) as quickly as…
