HyperX is one of the most well-known gaming peripheral and hardware manufacturers on the market today. Making everything from mice to keyboards and computer hardware, the company has worked with everyone. We’re talking esports legends like Daigo Umehara, to celebrities like Post Malone. This is to say that a HyperX product comes with a certain […]

It’s almost Halloween, and you know what that means! It’s time to review another Cthulhu-mythos walking simulator with some puzzles here and there! Transient is the successor to the game Conarium, although it requires no familiarity with it. The game might be just a few hours long, but it’s clever, imaginative, creative, and downright gorgeous. All […]

Fittingly for the spookiest month of the year, Watch Dogs: Legion worried me. Ubisoft tends to need to iterate to make its new and bold ideas work. The first version (Assassin’s Creed, Watch Dogs, The Crew…) shows off the idea. The sequel builds it into an actual game, and gives us what we should’ve had […]

Carto could potentially be the year’s best indie adventure — it’s certainly the most charming. Like its developer Sunhead Games, the game is overflowing with creativity and heart despite its small size. It’s a lovely journey of discovery and an awe-inspiring experience with a solid blend of puzzles and exploration. Involved, intimate gameplay and incredible […]

If I could shout one thing from the horror video game mountains, it’d be, “stop designing hide-and-seek monster segments and time-limit escape ones if your level design doesn’t work with them!” Under: Depths of Fear encapsulates most of the bad habits of short, indie horror games to the point that it could be used in […]

Everybody likes the first Hotline Miami. The gratification of waltzing into an area and taking out a bunch of foes that are just as strong as you cannot be overstated. But that game was top-down, so you could see all around. When you attempt this type of game from the first-person, problems can start to emerge. […]

I love the Halloween aesthetic. You know, the really cartoony one with spooky trees and jack o lanterns. I also love platformers, so Pumpkin Jack became firmly embedded onto my radar when it was announced. The game, suffice to say, isn’t quite what I hoped for. It’s got very good visuals, mostly precise controls, and some variety […]

I have to be honest. A rogue-lite about dog-sledding was not something I thought would ever exist. The Red Lantern has some interesting ideas, cute dogs, and endearing visuals, but it’s significantly held back by repetition, too few mechanics, and a complete lack of anything you can call gameplay. It might be worth a look […]

Many rogue-lites are very difficult. ScourgeBringer is one of those. It’s also extremely fast, precise, and highly demanding. Whether you’re skillfully dashing through the air and chaining hits on foes or dodging a giant flood of dangerous bullets, the game certainly has a lot going on. It has an endearing pixel aesthetic and a simple, yet […]

Supermarket Shriek is a co-op party game where the aim is to navigate a series of obstacle courses. The twist? You have to do so with just a man, a goat, and a shopping cart. But thankfully these two are no regular man and goat. They both possess a supersonic voice box that can create […]

Amnesia: Rebirth is the latest installment of Frictional Games’ hit horror franchise. In it, you take on the role of Anastasie “Tasi” Trianon, a member of an expedition gone awry. From the moment their plane crashes in Algeria’s desert, you know something is deeply wrong. With Tasi’s teammates gone, it’s up to you to guide […]

If there’s one thing that never ceases to bring a smile to my face, it’s a successful Kickstarter. Especially when that Kickstarter is for an exciting indie game thought up by a talented small team. And given that Endless Memories managed to raise over $14,000 and is developed by just two people, I think it […]

Terrible news. Editor-in-chief and (mostly) benevolent PCI overlord Cam wouldn’t let me write the line “I’ll finish this review when they finish the game” and then call it a day. Sorry, everyone; you’re getting a full Remothered: Broken Porcelain review instead. It’s hard to quickly indicate just how badly Remothered: Broken Porcelain manages to do […]

While we’re stuck debating the ethics of teleportation and time travel, adventure games have taken us around the world and back. Any place, any time, any dimension — the genre is the ultimate tour guide. Yet, the industry’s obsession with a handful of staple settings has left many choice locales ill-explored. The same tired locations […]

Corsair has a long history of making quality gaming accessories and peripherals. Its latest at-bat is the K60 line of mechanical keyboards. And at the top of that line is the new K60 RGB Pro Low Profile. But do lower switches make for a better typing experience under review? Boasting Cherry MX RGB Low Profile […]
