Giraffe and Annika has been on the market for several months now. I received my code around release and I quickly finished half of the game. I fully intended to finish it and write a review in the following days, but that all changed. As I continued, I noticed it appealed to the younger demographic […]
Immortals Fenyx Rising wasn’t on my radar until shortly before release. A new action-adventure IP by Ubisoft with mythology themes and gameplay that many have compared to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

LET’S RUB THIS LAMP! After four long years, Shantae is finally back. Last we saw of her, she was rescuing Scuttle Town in Half-Genie Hero. Things are a bit different now. Our favorite purple-haired Waifu is on vacation. In a genre I’ve lovingly dubbed “The Waifu Metroidvania”, Shantae will harness her magical prowess to defeat a new threat in this silly adventure. […]
