There’s a new pope kicking around, and while I’m sure his schedule is fairly busy I have a request: please bless the skippable cutscene. During his next visit to GamesReviews.com, I’m hoping he sees this and fully understands the absolute sincerity in which I ask this. The skippable cutscene is potentially one of the most beautiful inventions in the modern world. Firstly because it doesn’t require a subscription, but mostly just because of the pure convenience of it all. This…

I checked out Strangers in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin over its free weekend on Xbox. I had heard bad things about this for the most part. What did I think of it? Here are my thoughts on Strangers in Paradise. Strangers in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a prequel to Final Fantasy 1. And this is very obvious early on in the game, when  Garland (from FF1) appears. Then he’s mentioned. A lot. The four warriors of light legend appear…

With the prevalence of mascot horror and indie thrillers in the gaming industry, Finding Frankie endeavors to blend the thrill-seeking excitement of parkour with the spine-chilling terror associated with a twisted game show. Created by Superlou, this brief yet captivating adventure challenges players to complete an obstacle course in a life-or-death scenario, aided by the spooky cartoon mascot Hogan. The game begins with a familiar but sinister plot: you’re one of the lucky few enticed into playing at the Finding…

How much is a game worth to you? I’m not talking a specific game. Not the wishlist, dream game that you’d trade your firstborn for. Just a game. $80? My guess is it isn’t even close. The average gamer isn’t spending anywhere near that much. Maybe a few times a generation or in support of a certain publisher. Perhaps you’ll splurge at Christmas or when a console launches. But those are outliers. Factor in deals, bundles, deep discounts and what…

Originally released in 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion changed the standards for open-world RPGs. Its vast world, dynamic AI, and emergent gameplay set the stage for Skyrim and several other genre efforts. Oblivion Remastered now, nearly two decades later, comes not just as a visual facelift but also as a creative reinterpretation that treads the line between respect and innovation. Created in partnership with Virtuos, this remaster is a statement rather than just a nostalgia trip. It queries: What…

Just a few short weeks after we were all bouncing up and down about the Oblivion remaster, a new rumour has sprung up. Rockstar are working on bringing Grand Theft Auto 4 to PlayStation and Switch. That should tell you everything you need to know right there. Skipping Xbox (and PC for now) implies that this is just a straight port, bringing the fourth numbered entry in the legendary franchise to audiences who currently can’t access it. The game is…

I’ve been playing Towerborne’s game preview on Xbox Series a little bit and thought I’d share some thoughts on the game so far. How is Towerborne? Towerborne is a sidescrolling beat ‘em up with rpg elements. You create your character, choose a class and go on missions where you fight enemies in a sidescrolling beat ‘em up fashion. There is a hub world and also a world map. The game has a cartoon-like drawn style to it. It’s a neat…

Capy’s Quest is an indie platformer that invites players into a whimsical world filled with capybaras, culinary chaos, and charming escapades. Developed by AVTOSERVICE GAMES, this title is now available on most platforms, offering a stress-free gaming experience (well sort of some levels cause stress) that's perfect for casual play.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be out soon. And then it won’t be too much longer before the PS6 pops up and Xbox Series is on its way out the door. Lately, I’ve felt that I’m at a crossroads. I’m unsure about where gaming will take me next. So today I’ll talk about what I’m thinking. Will I still be gamer in the future? The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out in June and…I can’t get it. I can’t afford the…
