Carrion mini-review
Carrion is an ultraviolent pixel art metroidvania where you play as an amorphous apex hunter of Man - but is there real meat in its bones?

Carrion is an ultraviolent 2D metroidvania where you play an amorphous apex predator stalking your human captors. Is it a full-on bloody good time, or does it end up falling apart before it bites?
The Dualsense Edge is not a good value proposition for most people, but it does have some essential tricks up its sleeves for audio and racing entusiasts.
The two unsuspecting reasons the Dualsense Edge changed the game for me
The Dualsense Edge isn't cheap, but it does have a couple of tricks up its sleeve making it a potentially worthwhile proposition for some players.

Neon White is an experience unlike most others. Its fast-paced gameplay, anime-inspired art style and bopping soundtrack are let down immensely by cringeworthy dialogue and uninteresting characters.
Neon White review (PS5 Pro)
Neon White is an out-of-the-box game with fast, "speedrunning FPS" gameplay and an absolutely awful script.

Finally started Neon White this weekend and it sure is something. The level of gameplay smoothness is matched only by the amount of C R I N G E in the dialogue and VA.

@duskdev.bsky.social's Dusk is a fantastic boomer shooter with tight gameplay, bloody, oppressive visuals and rock-solid performance on the original Nintendo Switch.
Dusk just became my personal GOTY for 2025 | Nintendo Switch review
Dusk is yet another example of a brilliant little game made by a small team which shames most current AAA productions.

Techland is a studio on another level. Still putting out fundamental updates for the original Dying Light 10 years onward, with crystal clear communication to boot. I'll be sure to support their content as long as they show this level of commitment to their players.

Man, seriously, indie games will save us all. I was recently burned out and just uninspired after a few dozen hours in Star Wars Outlaws when I decided to pick up Dusk and My Friend Pedro on a whim. Both reminded me of just how fun and creative video games can be when there is passion involved.

Fanboys on any side only harm technological progress in this industry. The Switch 2's screen is truly shameful - much worse than the already poor LCD on the original Switch - and yet millions of people will fight tooth and nail to defend Nintendo's many poor choices with this launch. Long live OLED.

After years of reading about the hype, I wasn't expecting to leave my playthrough of Hades halfway finished.

As everyone freaks out about the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, I'll stick with my trusty original OLED. These are some examples of the excellent quality #indiedev games playable on Nintendo's original hybrid machine.

Though I've been playing games my entire life, I'd locked myself out of enjoying horror games a long time ago. It took a playthrough of Resident Evil 2 remake to make me see the light - or lack of it.
What conquering horror games taught me about mental health
Until 2024, the survival horror genre had always been a blind spot in my gaming catalogue. When I decided to change that, I found a deeply rewarding connection between my personal and virtual lives…

An icon within the #indiedev scene, Hotline Miami showed developers worldwide just how high a small but passionate team could fly.

It took me years to finish Dark Souls 3, despite reaching the final boss in one of my saves. It took a very real battle with mental health to make me realise what I'd been missing all along.
You’re more impatient than Dark Souls 3 is difficult
In late 2024, I embarked on a mission to finally finish Dark Souls 3. This is a retelling of how personal a journey that became.

As the OLED monitor market finally heats up with diverse sizes and specs to fit different wallets, my original LG 42" C2 TV/ monitor still does everything a modern console player could want.

The single most intense survival horror game I've experienced to date, Silent Hill 2's mystique was enthralling even for a new player like me, though it certainly overstays its welcome.

Playing a cozy game is like wrapping yourself in a warm digital blanket when it’s cold outside, or eating that perfect pizza slice when you’re really hungry. Snowrunner happens to hits the spot perfectly for me.
Snowrunner is my all-time cozy game
Snowrunner is the perfect mix of objective-oriented gameplay and restrictionless management sandbox, making it my ideal cozy game.

After getting hooked on horror games with the Resident Evil 2 and Silent Hill 2 remakes, it was time to step into the USG Ishimura and find out if its metallic halls were still as polished as ever.
