Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is a great expansion, with a conclusion that easily secures it a spot on CD Projekt Red’s track record for great expansions.

10 / 10.0 - Baldur's Gate 3
Aug 29, 2023

Larian Studios has made something truly incredible, and even as the studio continues to fine-tune and polish with post-launch patches, Baldur’s Gate 3 feels like something absolutely worth playing now, and even more in the future. Baldur’s Gate 3 is a legendary RPG, and one that anyone with a love of storytelling, strategizing, or just thirsty for a few fantasy companions should take the time to experience.

It might not be the out-of-left-field surprise it was then, but Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a solid adventure for those who can’t get enough of strange frequencies and existential dread.

A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.

5 / 10.0 - Redfall
May 8, 2023

I really spent most of my time playing Redfall thinking about what else Redfall could have been. I like that Arkane tried something new, and I’m bummed it came out like this. It’s a really unique premise and concept in its first bite, but its fangs don’t leave a lasting mark.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dead Space (Remake)
Jan 26, 2023

Dead Space as a concept still holds up, and the reworking EA Motive has provided highlights its best features while shoring up old pitfalls. Sci-fi survival horror fans should get what they want out of this: the return of a classic, with gorgeous graphics and some new twists, but the same old boot-stomping good time.

Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.

9 / 10.0 - Citizen Sleeper
May 4, 2022

What Citizen Sleeper achieves in a fairly short hour count, though, is a sci-fi story that sticks.
