Surgeon Simulator 2 is a hard game for me to score. The first game was practically a meme centered around a gameplay joke. You do a really complicated thing with extremely imprecise controls and wackiness ensues! That very much still applies here but in a much more game-like setting. Personally, I strongly disliked playing this game. […]

Almost everyone knows their way around a bike (or at least understands how it works), but professional cycling is an entirely different beast.

A rogue-lite built around sailing is a great idea. Windbound has a fair amount of those. But there are some big problems. The biggest of these is that the sailing is as slow as it is tedious. There are certainly things to like about the game but it feels like something that’s a rogue-lite due to there […]

Control is one of my favorite games in recent years. I love the story, level design, and gameplay. Some reviewers were hard on the first DLC, The Foundation, but I rather enjoyed it and thought it added a neat bow to the game’s narrative. When it was announced that Control: AWE would feature a crossover […]

Sometimes less is more. Sure, it’s plenty of fun to farm enemies for rare drops and hit walls while hoping for secrets, but there’s a lot to love about a game that has no issue with cutting all the fat. Sheepo only takes a few hours to complete, but its difficulty is so finely-balanced and its pacing […]
