Order 13 Review

There’s something uniquely unsettling about being alone at work when you know you shouldn’t be. Order 13 taps into that feeling almost immediately. This isn’t a game about heroes, weapons, or fighting back. It’s about showing up for a night shift, doing your job, and slowly realizing that the building you’re trapped in doesn’t want you there. On PS5, Order 13 puts you in the shoes of a warehouse worker assigned to a remote fulfillment center. You wake up at…

The 18th Attic – Paranormal Cat Horror Game Review

Horror games don’t need monsters constantly screaming in your face to be effective. Sometimes, all they need is a single room, a few things that don’t look quite right, and the uncomfortable feeling that you might be missing something important. The 18th Attic understands that better than most. Developed by Steelkrill Studio, this psychological horror game drops you into a looping attic and asks you to do one simple thing: pay attention. You’re stuck reliving the same space over and…

Honeycomb Aeronautical Echo Aviation Controller Review

Flight simulation has always been a bit of a commitment. If you want the “real” experience, you’re usually signing up for a desk full of hardware, a lot of cables, and a setup that never really goes away. If you don’t, you’re stuck wrestling with a standard controller that was never designed to fly anything more complicated than a camera drone. The Honeycomb Aeronautical Echo Aviation Controller exists right in the middle of those two worlds—and it might be the…

Grind Survivors Review – Xbox

At first glance, Grind Survivors looks like another entry in the ever‑growing survivors‑like genre. Top‑down camera, endless waves of enemies, flashy upgrades, rinse and repeat. But after spending real time with it, it becomes clear this isn’t just a clone chasing trends—it’s a game that understands why the genre works and then cranks every system to an aggressive, almost reckless extreme. Developed by Pushka Studios and published by Assemble Entertainment, Grind Survivors throws you into a demon‑infested, post‑apocalyptic Earth and…

Anytime a game pops up on my radar that has dice, I’m instantly intrigued. And when I saw a few content creators start publishing content around The Druids of Edora, I knew it was a game I had to get my hands on. Thanks to my friends at Ravensburger, our copy arrived last week. Let’s unbox it and see whether the components are up to snuff! I love a good dual layered board, but the issue is that in the…

Years Later, Stardew Valley is still Outstanding

Although it is not always a good formula, I often will base whether a game was “worth it” on how long I’ve played it, matched against how much I paid for it. Using that formula, Stardew Valley is my most “worth it” game, and it’s not even close. With hundreds upon hundreds of hours played on my Nintendo Switch, the 14.99 CAD I paid for the game is looking like a pretty good investment. Thanks to some multiplayer with a…

Everdell Base Game Has One Problem

I love a good game of Everdell, and expansions and subsequent games have fixed the problem I’m about to discuss. The issue for me is that this problem is still prevalent in the base game of Everdell, and until it gets fixed, I always find at least one person at the table is going to have a really bad, and unlucky, experience. In Everdell, players are getting cards and playing them into their city, using resources to do so, and…

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Review (Nintendo Switch 2)

Late in February, Bethesda relaunched Fallout 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2 with the Anniversary Edition. This edition featured the base game, all six previously released DLC packs, and over a hundred Creation Club items for players to use.
