| 99 98% | Baldur's Gate 3 (2023) - Rated 19 Feb 2024
"It's no hyperbole, it really is one of the best games ever made. The only thing holding back that final point is that it's still pretty buggy"

| 53 33% | Persona 5 Tactica (2023) - Rated 01 Feb 2024
"I prefer the combat of Tactica over 5 Royal but it still pales in comparison to many turn-based strategy games. The new art style is fine, I suppose, but I consider it a major downgrade from Royal, especially in terms of how static and repetitive the visuals are; gone is much of the style and dynamism of the former. The story isn't all that interesting this time, and most of the things I loved about Royal are stripped away for an experience that is far more gameplay-centric to its detriment."

| 58 43% | Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (1999) - Rated 10 Jan 2024
"The game opens with a shot of a space station over the text "GDI space base, Philadelphia," and it's like, bro, you can't be in space and in Philadelphia at the same time, that's not how space or Philadelphia work"

| 85 92% | Cocoon (2023) - Rated 09 Jan 2024
"Stellar puzzle game that takes a clever concept and runs with it. They dialed in the level of difficulty just about perfectly, and some of these puzzles are immensely satisfying to put together. Extra kudos for making everything clean and intuitive enough that there's no need for a HUD or even any text throughout the entire game"

| 55 36% | TOEM (2021) - Rated 08 Jan 2024
"Kind of cute but there's basically nothing to it"

| 30 10% | Hell Let Loose (2021) - Rated 05 Jan 2024
"If you're somebody's dad and also cringe as shit, you'll probably enjoy larping with the other weirdos into this game"

| 70 69% | The Outer Worlds (2019) - Rated 31 Dec 2023
"Good moment-to-moment writing and fun, focused satire that really hammers on capitalism in particular to good effect. The gunplay is serviceable at best, and the perks are so unbelievably lame that leveling up doesn't feel rewarding. Obsidian remains great at integrating skill checks into mission objectives and into dialogue. I love that I can talk my way out of so many potential shootouts and confrontations with high enough language stats and by picking the right dialogue options."

| 20 5% | Starfield (2023) - Rated 31 Dec 2023
"What a disappointment — such misguided garbage that doubles down on all the bad parts of prior Bethesda game while stripping away almost everything that worked. This game frustrated me so much that I stopped playing it and went back to Fallout: New Vegas for the 100th time instead (because the best "Bethesda" game was actually made by Obsidian), and I've been having a much better time since"

| 20 5% | The Finals (2023) - Rated 31 Dec 2023
"More like the first time I played this was also The Final(s) time."
