Seriously fun, seriously… silly – Serious Sam 4 review

It’s crazy to think the last time we had a new main series Serious Sam game was almost 10 years ago. Serious Sam 3: BFE was moderately well-received (72% on Metacritic), and since then there’s been numerous spin-off titles like Serious Sam: The Greek Encounter and Serious Sam

If Rube Goldberg made a puzzle game, it’d be a repetitive mess like this one – Relicta review

You know what I miss? A solid puzzler, the likes of which you’d find in The Talos Principle, Portal, even Human Fall Flat. These games have a cult following behind them, and two of them are still alive in the modding community. Relicta, developed by Mighty Polygon and published

Bob, please forgive me for what I’m about to do – Surgeon Simulator 2 review

When the series first began under the title Surgeon Simulator, it centered around using terrible controls to do crazy things. For that reason, the game stuck as a trend for YouTubers to make extensive videos with and dominated the gaming community for the same length of time. It was fun,

Undo the future – Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time review

It’s hard to imagine the last time a Samurai Jack game released it was by way of the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube way back in 2004. Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku was met with an aggregate score on Metacritic on both systems at 59/100. This time,

Frame rate or graphical quality? – Marvel’s Avengers PC impressions

Anyone ask for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. VR? – Into the Radius VR review
