Santorini: Riddle of the Sphinx Board Game Review
Santorini isn’t a game I’ve really enjoyed a ton. If someone wants to play it I’m going to play it, but I’m VERY poor at the game overall. Still, the concepts and ideas behind the game, including the plethora of God Cards that significantly change how the game is played, have always intrigued me. When Roxley originally reached out to us to help promote the Kickstarter for a cooperative expansion, I was intrigued. I love a great cooperative experience, and…

Split Fiction Review
The Nintendo Switch 2 released several weeks ago, and we’ve seen so many debates over the physical game “download key” issue, that everyone forgot to concentrate on how powerful this handheld device actually is when it comes to actually playing the games. I had the chance to play Split Fiction over the last week or so and I am extremely impressed by the quality of the game on this device. The game was developed by Hazelight Studios, and released officially…

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma – Not Your Typical Rune Factory
Rune Factory has never been my favourite cozy / farming / RPG experience for a variety of reasons, but mostly I found all the different systems involved a bit too much for my liking. I know others LOVE the Rune Factory franchise, and I readily admit that it’s one of the larger and more loved franchises available on console. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma just felt different, and while my time with other Rune Factory games is pretty limited, this…

I Read a Comic Co-Created with AI and It Was Way Better Than I Expected
I was ready to cringe. Instead, I kept scrolling. AI-generated comics sounded like a shortcut to mediocrity: soulless art, uncanny dialogue, and storytelling stripped of intent. Then I stumbled upon Summer Island, a horror short co-created by Steve Coulson using Midjourney and GPT-based tools, something strange happened. It worked. The mood, the pacing, even the visual weirdness all felt intentional, or at least eerie in a way that suited the genre. I didn’t expect much from an AI-assisted comic. But…

Toy Battle Board Game Review
My wife and I are always looking for games our kids can play together. We can only play so many games of Catan Jr. and Carcassonne Jr. before we need something else to occupy their time. When I was at Canada Plays 2025 sponsored by Asmodee Canada, I got a quick demo of Toy Battle and I was immediately intrigued. If you are older, you might remember grabbing any action figure you could get your hands on and having a…

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Board Game Review – From the Ashes
A few weeks ago we reviewed the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as part of our recent run of Elder Scrolls content. Recently, Modiphius sent over the From the Ashes expansion for the game, as well as the metal coins you can get. Both have been put to use in the last few weeks and while it’s not a ton of new content, it’s enough to keep things interesting in your main campaign. From the Ashes includes a ton of new…

Tabletop Inc. Board Game Review
A few weeks ago, we wrote at length about the components of Tabletop Inc. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been tabling this game quite a bit, and while we definitely have some problems with the game, it keeps coming back which is a good sign. First and foremost, it’s worth noting that Tabletop Inc. is a quite unique game, so if you are looking for something that goes against the grain quite a bit, then I think this is…

Final Fantasy XVI (Xbox) Review-in-progress
I have never played Final Fantasy XVI before. I don’t have a PS5. So when the game was announced for Xbox recently and released, I was really excited about it. Then Square Enix gave us a review code! I’ve been playing it and while my full review isn’t ready yet, I wanted to share my thoughts on the game so far. I’ve been a Final Fantasy fan since FF7 on the PS1. That was the game that made me fall…

Cretaceous Rails Board Game Review
As I noted in our components review and overview of Cretaceous Rails, I honestly wasn’t expecting much when I perused the games Kickstarter page. Once again, this is a strong lesson in not judging something by pictures or overviews. I admitted I was wrong about the production quality in that article – it is top notch! – and I’ll admit I was wrong again as we discuss this game in detail – this is a fantastic experience. Cretaceous Rails is…
