Brink Components Overview and Impressions
IV Studio has released hit after hit for us, and for the most part the quality of the production has been top notch. I think almost everything in the Deluxe version of Brink is phenomenal, although I have a few concerns about longevity that I’ll get to near the end of the article. The one thing that sets Brink apart from the competition, and the one thing that concerns me, is about the various trays included with the game. I…
Moonrollers Components Overview and Impressions
If you’ve been reading our site for a while, you know we absolutely love most of what IV Studio releases each year. In fact, we’ve heralded them as our favourite designer two years running, which is a pretty impressive feat. We love the universes IV Studio creates, with Moonrakers being one of our favourites. Moonrollers is set in that same universe, and as a gaming group that loves dice games, we really wanted to check this one out. IV Studio…
OnePlus 15R Smart Phone Review
OnePlus is doing what they do, what all companies do that is, and have released a cheaper version of their flagship smart phone. The OnePlus 15 has been out for a while, but on the 17th the OnePlus 15R launched taking the very expensive OnePlus 15 and making it quite a bit cheaper. Side to side, you won’t see a ton of differences right off the top. The OnePlus 15R is built with the exact same materials as the OnePlus…
Trinket Trove Components Overview and Impressions
When a game consists of almost only cards, there isn’t many ways the production can go wrong. The cards are either good quality or they aren’t. But what sets a card game apart from it’s competitors in the production realm is the art. We just recently did a components unboxing and overview of Flamecraft which featured art from Sandara Tang. Guess what, we’ve got another Sandara Tang design here as well, and it makes this game pop like nothing else.…
Flamecraft Components Overview and Imperssions (Retail Edition)
Despite not having my own copy of the game, I’ve had the chance to play Framecraft a few times using the Kickstarter Deluxe version of the game. The production on that game is phenomenal, with beautiful artwork and gorgeous wooden pieces, plus a neoprene mat and dragon miniatures for each player. When I saw the retail version and reached out to Lucky Duck Games about doing a review, I was a bit nervous about how I’d feel playing the retail…
Fromage Components Overview and Impressions
Fromage came out of nowhere for me, but it’s a game I definitely wanted to have in my collection. Now that it is here, getting it to the table has been a breeze thanks to the fantastic production. While I don’t have the version of the game with all the wooden tokens, the retail release is still pretty amazing! Let’s take a look. Fromage uses a nifty mechanic where you place out workers onto the board, and at the end…
Farming Simulator Signature Edition (Nintendo Switch 2) Impressions
Farming Simulator 25 is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, in a way. Like when EA Sports was releasing FIFA games under the Legacy branding, Farming Simulator has released their latest title under the Signature Edition branding. This is all fine and good, but it does signal one thing before players even hop in: this won’t be the same experience you felt on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or PC. If you go into Farming Simulator Signature Edition with the…
Pokémon Legends Z-A: Mega Dimensions DLC Review
Pokémon Legends Z-A was overall a solid game in our opinion, despite the world leaving a lot to be desired. We really enjoyed the real-time Pokémon battle system, and the sheer number of Mega-Evolved Pokémon was really surprising! We knew when the game launched that DLC was coming before the end of the year, promising more Pokémon, more Mega-Evolutions, and a (somewhat?) new area to explore. There are times when DLC fixes issues with a main game, so is that…
SCUF Controllers for the Holiday Season: Reflex Wireless PlayStation 5 Controller
Reviewing controllers takes a bit of work, and we only received two Scuf wireless controllers last week. That said, our early impressions of both the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Reflex Wireless PlayStation Controller and the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Valor Pro Wireless Xbox controller are really positive. If you are looking for a controller to get as a last minute gift, or have a few extra dollars to spend after the holidays, these controllers make fantastic…
SCUF Controllers for the Holiday Season: Valor Pro Xbox Controller
