Pronty is an underwater Metroidvania for the Xbox Series. Is the underwater setting unique? Is this a fun game? Here is our review of Pronty for the Xbox Series S! Pronty is an action adventure that takes place under water. The main protagonist is a creature that is learning to be a protector of the sea. You can choose from a couple of “skins”, looks that let you determine how the character looks. More will unlock later. The story has…

Starfield will be coming out on September 6. That is a little bit disappointing. Not because there aren’t other great Xbox games on the horizon, I should hasten to add. There are. Between Game Pass and Xbox’s first-party releases, I can barely keep up as it is, without adding a giant Bethesda-sized RPG into the mix as well. And not because I have any issue with a delay in principal. Get Starfield where it needs to be before you hit…

Resident Evil 4 got a very sudden demo this morning – and that means we had a very sudden download to get going. It was well worth it. Resident Evil 4 put this franchise on the map. The PS1 games sold relatively well. 4 outsold them all and, to this day, nearly all of them put together. It was super successful. That was in part due to the films. And so while the remakes of 1 and 2 had a…

When Suicide Squad was shown at the Sony direct, it received mixed reaction. I filed it under “play in a sub service” and didn’t think about it again. Apparently that wasn’t enough for some people. According to Bloomberg, the game has ended up being delayed. This follows backlash from fans. Despite that, it will still likely hit this year. So don’t expect it to suddenly become Arkham City 2. I wrote the other day about how sometimes it seems developers…

Starfield is still coming out this year, but it will be coming out a little bit later. We have the news, along with the official launch date announcement trailer! Starfield finally has a release date! Its coming out on September 6th, 2023. Thats a bit later than originally suggested though. The game was supposed to launch this spring. Likely its being delayed so that the developers can get more time working on the game and making it as good as…

Brok the InvestiGator is an adventure game with beat ’em up gameplay too. Is this a fun game? Will fans of the genres like it? Here is our review of Brok the InvestiGator for the Xbox Series S! Brok the InvestiGator is a mostly 2D sidescrolling adventure/beat ’em up game staring a talking animated Alligator who is an investigator. This game is set within its own world full of talking animals who live and work in cities, slums, and places…

One of the big releases of this week has been Wo Long, the Soulslike set within the Three Kingdoms period of China. I’ve not played it much, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen. And the most amazing thing? I was in on the ground floor. In all the talk about subscription services, it tends to be the value that comes up the most. People will get really excited about the prospect of getting something for (seemingly) nothing, especially if that…

There was a time when Suicide Squad and in particular Harley Quinn were huge. And that coincided with a time when superhero GAAS titles were soaked in potential. That time is decidedly not now. I don’t have strong opinions on the showing of Rocksteady’s new Suicide Squad. It debuted to mixed reaction at this week’s PlayStation State of Play, and while I won’t be rushing out to buy it, decent reviews make it a must-play at some point. These are…

Last week, Disney Dreamlight Valley released its newest update! We checked out and now want to provide our thoughts on the “A Festival of Friendship” update. Disney Dreamlight Valley’s newest update, “A Festival of Friendship” is out now! And we checked it out! This newest update introduces two new characters to the game, Mirabel from Encanto and Olaf from Frozen. Mirabel is pretty easy character to get: you just have to find her house’s door knob laying around town. Once…

In the last few weeks, we’ve seen a very quick raft of releases of old games for new consoles, and not a single one has released without some issue, big or small. Just think about that for a second. Goldeneye, Tales of Symphonia. Hell, even the Blade Runner release from last year is still being fixed (which is admirable, but plays into my point here). There is clearly a demand for old games. There are entire communities of retro fans…
