Necromunda: Hired Gun Review: Doom, Dogs, (Grim)Dark
We haven’t had a good single player 40k first person shooter in such a long time. Depending on your opinion of Fire Warrior, we’ve never had one. Necromunda: Hired Gun changes that spectacularly.
Biomutant Review: A Confusedly Chimeric Creation
Biomutant, appropriately, feels like the hybrid blend of so many existing games. But there’s more than a few evolutionary dead ends to deal with in this flawed creation.
Adios Review: Conversations and Consequences

Cyberpunk 2077 Review: Disappointingly Defective Dystopia
A systems driven game with a cool aesthetic, filled with Eurojank, Cyberpunk 2077 should have been right up my alley. Why’s it currently up there for the most frustrating game of the year then?
Tell Me Why Review: Ain’t Nothing But Some Mistakes
If you’re already on the Dontnod adventure game wagon, Tell Me Why is the latest game to follow that trail. It just doesn’t really know how to stick to a straight path to get to anywhere satisfying.
