Undivine is one of those indie titles that quietly slips onto the scene, but once you dive in, it leaves a lasting impression. Developed by Brainium Games and Deadpix Studios, this Metroidvania-style action RPG invites players into a bleak, mysterious world where every corner hides a secret and every enemy demands your full attention. From the moment you start, it’s clear that Undivine isn’t interested in holding your hand. There’s no glowing path or constant guidance—just you, your instincts, and…

When it comes to kart racers, the bar is sky-high. Games like Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing have set the standard for what makes this genre so addictive: colorful tracks, chaotic power-ups, and that sweet mix of skill and luck that keeps you coming back for “just one more race.” Hot Rod Mayhem rolls onto the PS5 promising all of that and more. After spending plenty of time behind the wheel, I can say this: it’s a good time,…

As someone who loves cats, I’m really not a huge fan of cat themed or titled games. Isle of Cats was just OK to me, I am TERRIBLE at Boop!, and Calico is a game that I respect, but I’m terrible at so…hard pass. That said, I do love a good roll and write experience, so despite my dislike for cat themed games, I decided to take House of Cats for a spin! House of Cats comes with four different…

Every once in a while a Star Wars Unlimited box arrives at the house and I’m always excited to open them and check out the latest Star Wars Unlimited release. This time around, I was shocked to open the box and not find the newest release, but instead a bunch of accessories, both for the Twin Suns format, and a brand new base-health dial that I think will be a massive hit. Let’s take a look! I am going to…

We’ve been playing on our Project Ironside 2.0 board game table from BoxKing Gaming for about a month now, and as I promised when we originally reviewed the table, I’m back to provide a quick (although not all that different) update. Is Project Ironside 2.0, or any board game table for that matter, worth the investment? In most cases my answer would still be a resounding NO since board game tables are so bloody expensive. But Project Ironside isn’t an…

Kinfire Council is a game that, on the surface, I shouldn’t really like. It has a semi-cooperative element, which I dislike. It has negotiation, which I dislike. And it has bidding, which I REALLY dislike. All of that aside, it is part of the Kinfire universe, a universe I’ve come to really enjoy through playing Kinfire Delve and Kinfire Chronicles. That alone spurred me forward into this experience, and despite my reservations, I had an absolute blast. There might appear…

Free Time A couple weeks ago I was on vacation with a bunch of my relatives out in New Hampshire. If you aren’t familiar with New England in the United States, well it’s a very picture-esque area in the North East, surrounded by mountains, rivers, forests, etc. Everything just moves a little slower out there. A lot of Americans are just rushing, hurrying, always in a manic state. So sometimes we need to just slow down and take a breath…

I’ve had the pleasure of playing Food for Thought for a couple weeks now, and the number one thing that was blowing my mind was, “Why is there not more chatter about this game?” I assumed that after GenCon 2025, there would be more unboxing videos, reviews, etc. for this game, which I do realize only delivered to backers a few months ago. After a quick chat with my PR rep, I learned that Food for Thought was really just…

Gloomies has a really eye-catching production with tons of little wooden pieces that pop when on the table. Ravensburger has been putting out some fantastic games with great table presence, while also keeping the games simple and accessible to all. Gloomies is a card driven game, which I generally really like, but does the gameplay hold up over time? Let’s take a look! This card driven game is broken down into two phases: the growing phase where you will be…

The Lord of the Rings is one of my favourite book and movie franchises of all time, and yes, I even like the Hobbit films! Whenever a Lord of the Rings themed game comes out, I’m probably going to buy it, and I’m probably going to love it. We have had a great run of The Lord of the Rings in board game form in the past year, with games like The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the…
