Overwatch 2 (2022) - Rated 27 Sep 2026
Overwatch 2 is a sequel that mostly replaced its predecessor rather than moving it forward. Through Mark Fisher’s idea of the slow cancellation of the future, it reads as a game about tomorrow that stays stuck in a permanent present of seasons and shops. Its cyborg heroes hint at real kinship, and its team fights feel like genuine solidarity, but the business model keeps pulling toward solitary grinding. Often thrilling, rarely going anywhere. - Full Review

Overwatch (2016) - Rated 27 Sep 2026
Overwatch is a fable about bodies that are never whole on their own: rebuilt humans, thinking machines, an uplifted gorilla. Its team-based design makes interdependence mandatory, and its partial, first-person views undercut the all-seeing gaze its title promises. We praise this radical kinship while critiquing the game's nostalgia for militarized order, its sidelined robot voices, and its monetized inclusivity. - Full Review

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023) - Rated 31 Jul 2026
Jedi: Survivor is a franchise product that carries more hope than it was built to sell. Its hidden refuge planet is a homeland no one has yet reached, and its echoes of a fallen golden age ask which past is worth inheriting. But its truest hope lives in a frontier saloon you slowly fill with misfits and a rooftop garden you help grow. With the Empire certain to endure, the game finds light not in victory but in making a ruined place livable. - Full Review

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019) - Rated 20 Jul 2026
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a game about living in the wreckage of history. Its hero starts as a scrapper taking apart old warships, and his power to read the memories held in objects turns Benjamin's idea of "aura" into play. The ruins, the repetition-driven combat, and the uneasy relationship with the Jedi past make it a blockbuster that knows what it's built on, even as it serves a brand that profits from endlessly reproducing its myths. - Full Review

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations (2004) - Rated 30 Jun 2026
Trials and Tribulations is a courtroom game that quietly takes apart the idea that truth can be made present. Testimony exists to be contradicted, evidence can be forged, names reveal too much, and the dead still speak. Its story starts with its origin told late, its prosecutor is named for a man who never arrives, and its verdicts rarely add up to justice. Funny and wounded, it suggests every truth comes deferred, secondhand, and in someone else's voice. - Full Review

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (2023) - Rated 23 Jun 2026
Through a Butlerian lens, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is about identity as performance: two heroes share one mask, so there's no "real" Spider-Man, only a role repeated. The black suit offers Peter a harder, invulnerable "true self" that is really a fantasy of sovereignty, while Miles can't finish his college essay. The game argues that we are made through others, though its care for whose lives matter stops at the henchmen it asks you to pummel. - Full Review

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered (2020) - Rated 11 Jun 2026
They sold us the same New York twice, and we knew, and we bought it — the disavowal is the product. A game that jokes about its own politics so you can enact them guilt-free; irony as alibi. Yet the swinging is pure surplus enjoyment no critique dissolves: a gorgeous city with crime but no rent. The superego commands "Enjoy!" and you do. I know very well what this is. But nevertheless. One more swing. - Full Review

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (2020) - Rated 11 Jun 2026
Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a blues story about inheritance. A grieving Harlem teen learns to carry his father's memory and his mentor's mantle without simply imitating either one. Read through the Black prophetic tradition, the game stages a contest between love and nihilism as a corporation treats a neighborhood as expendable. Its critique of the market is blunted by its own role as a console-selling product, but its picture of hope as love in action rings true. - Full Review

Marvel's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps (2018) - Rated 10 Jun 2026
Insomniac's Spider-Man turns web-swinging into modern flânerie — reading a city through your thumbs. Its DLC gives us a Manhattan with atmosphere but no memory, a licensable dreamscape where collectibles and pre-paid chapters expose capital's enchantments. A backward-looking villain armed with cutting-edge tech, and an ally's slow moral collapse, reveal the argument about power and violence the superhero form can never settle. - Full Review
