Everspace 2Rockfish Games The original Everspace game was a surprise hit when it debuted back in 2017. Its combination of slick graphics and presentation, fluid controls, and rouge-lite features was pretty irresistible for space shooter junkies like myself. Well, we didn’t have to wait too long for developer Rockfish Games to get to work on…
SCUMGamepires My friend and I drove our rusty compact car to the top of a grassy hill and jumped out to get a better look at our surroundings. It was a clear day and consulting our map, we could see that we were close to a small coastal town. We broke out our binoculars and…
American Truck Simulator: IdahoSCS Software SCS Software keeps hitting it out of the park with American Truck Simulator and their latest expansion, the beautiful state of Idaho, has me wondering if this is their best release yet. Being a coastal-type guy, I’ve literally been learning much more about our great country’s interior states through games…
DeadsideBad Pixel Although I thought I’d played just about every survival game on the market since first trying out the DayZ mod for Arma 2 (back in 2013), Deadside caught me by surprise.

Bleeding EdgeNinja Theory Although new hero shooter, Bleeding Edge, came out a few months ago I wanted to wait for a bit to review it. When certain games come along that I think might hold promise, despite their rocky launches, I postpone reviewing them in order for their developers to get their digital houses in…
Disco ElysiumZA/UM I began playing pencil-and-paper role-playing games as a kid and didn’t get into computer role-playing games (AKA CRPGs) until Bioware released the first Baldur’s Gate title. That was a little over two decades ago. Nowadays, there aren’t just a small number of developers making CRPGs, there are many. However, most of them are…
Shadow EmpiresVR Designs As I mentioned in my last review of FTL: Advanced Edition, I’m a big fan of video games that can emulate the emergent experiences that you normally get from playing pencil and paper, role-playing games. VR Designs’ Shadow Empires is one such game that has that in spades. But let me back…
FTL: Advanced EditionSubset Games Being a pencil and paper role-playing game geek, video games that give me the opportunities to both role-play, as well as provide emergent storytelling rifts, are pretty big in my book. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Paradox Studios’ Stellaris, has become a favorite of mine. However, a fellow…
