There are some games that are pure magic; the Marios, the Zeldas, and really, most Nintendo first party games. There's just a special charm to them - a handcrafted quality that feels impossible to replicate. Lo and behold, with the release of Astro B...more
While Stray may have opened the door for cat "simulators," Little Kitty, Big City lets one leave the dystopian setting behind and just focus on being a cat and doing cat things in the subsequently mentioned big city, though the size of the map feels ...more

Talk about feeling disappointment; just as I have gotten back into playing my Xbox regularly, I decided to trek back into Gamepass with The Last Case of benedict Fox, a Metroidvania with a Lovecraftian and surrealistic look to it. It should have been...more
I've been on a horror kick, and with a name like No One Lives Under the Lighthouse - an obvious misnomer, as something or someone does indeed live under the lighthouse, and is actively toying with your own interactions with said lighthouse - this one...more
