I really never thought I would play Jesus Christ does Morrowind. There are Christian games, yes (and they’re universally terrible). There are open world games. It’s such a surreal idea to combine the two of these that I’m still struggling to parse it despite having played through the prologue. And…

Open world is a popular “genre” these days, and most developers – especially those working at the higher end of town – are particularly keen on them. Because of this, everything from Pokemon to Final Fantasy, Dynasty Warriors to The Legend of Zelda, and even The Witcher has shifted from…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not sure there’s ever a precisely right time to release a “Eurojank” RPG, but I certainly don’t think that Elex II benefits from being released a few days after Elden Ring and Horizon: Forbidden West. There are going to be people that play one after…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I have really struggled with how to handle this Horizon: Forbidden West review. On the one hand, I do understand that it is the sequel to a game that a lot of people loved (a lot), and that this game delivers what the masses want. It’s…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Lost Judgment is brilliant on just about every level; it has the same sense of humour as the Yakuza series, and the same quality action. At the same time, just like with Judgment before it, the shift in perspective, from yakuza members to detectives, offers up…

Read MoreReview by Matt C. Biomutant comes with an intriguing premise: in a post-apocalyptic world where humans are long-gone and mutant animals have taken their place, a martial art called Wung-Fu rules the day. The future of even this broken world hangs in the balance thanks to the dying Tree of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As far as the good is concerned, Sabnautica: Below Zero offers an ethereal exploration experience, with exotic worlds to explore (both above and below the ocean), and a true sense of wonder as you do so. Not everything is friendly and most areas in the world…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m all for games being complex, challenging, and unforgiving. Just this week I reviewed a simulation title, in A-Train, that comes dangerously close to being a genuine degree in urban planning and an MBA, rolled into one. But, if you are going to go down the…
