Stardew Valley is a cozy life sim released way back in 2016 by Concerned Ape. It took the world by a storm then, and it’s still going strong now (and growing), even after almost ten years. What’s even more impressive — this game was developed fully by one man who had no formal training in … Read more
Ghost of Yōtei has been my most anticipated game of the year. Its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, is probably my favorite game of all time, and so naturally, I couldn’t wait to play this one. Plus, all of the content that came out about it before it was released looked awesome. And if that doesn’t … Read more

An honest review from someone with an average PC. Borderlands 4 is a looter shooter released on September 12, 2025 as one of the year’s most anticipated sequels and a long-awaited return to the franchise. It’s available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and it has planned expansions and extra content just like the … Read more
JRPG games are super fun because they let you get lost in these huge, amazing worlds and follow stories that are both epic and emotional. You get to level up characters, explore every corner, and really sink into the game without worrying about anything else for a while. Honestly, it’s a bit surprising how few … Read more
Games like The Sims are… well, nonexistent if you want to be strict about what makes a game “Sims-y”. It’s one of a kind, or at the very least the most popular and widely played example. Few have tried to usurp that throne. But if you zero in on what you like about Sims specifically, … Read more
I didn’t expect much when I first launched Subnautica. Just another survival game, right? Turns out, I was wrong. What I got instead was one of the most unique and oddly immersive survival experiences I’ve ever played. There’s no combat-heavy intro, no flashy tutorial, it’s just you, a busted lifepod, and a massive alien ocean … Read more
Tower defense games have a bit of everything that I like — some strategy, some base building (sometimes) and lots of challenges. I first fell in love with this genre while, ironically, playing other games that had tower defense elements. For example, SpellForce (which I talk a lot about here).

When it comes to the Star Wars franchise, I wouldn’t call myself a superfan but also I’m not a hater of it. I liked Fallen Order well enough, even if it had a few rough edges. Jedi: Survivor picks up right where that left off, building on the combat, expanding the world, and refining the … Read more
Looking for games like It Takes Two? I get it — it was truly a memorable experience. My husband and I loved playing it, even when I kept getting stuck in random places, when I couldn’t jump the distance, when I didn’t understand what to do, when he had to take the joystick and just … Read more
