REVIEW: Pacer
It's been quite a year, hasn't? That might explain why Pacer is exactly what I have been looking for recently. It's exactly what it seems at first glance: a zero gravity combat racer who either wants to date Wipeout or lock it in its basement. I'm here because those games were awesome and sometimes it's just fun driving really fast and blowing sh*t up. Pacer is basically offering this.

REVIEW: The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match
The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited match is an impressive title. It was a familiar experience, but it also gave me some curiosity. It plays just like other fighting games. The control scheme is almost the same as an arcade machine, with only A and B. There are two types of punches: a heavy and light one, and a heavy kick. This title will be easy to understand if you're a big fan of fighting. If you're new to fighting games, it can be overwhelming.

REVIEW: Pumpkin Jack
Developers create new IPs that are inspired by classic games I love. It all felt instantly familiar from the moment I took control of our gourd-headed antihero in Pumpkin Jack. It was like trying a new version of your favorite comfort food. Everything you loved about the original recipe was preserved, but with a different flavor combination. Pumpkin Jack is everything I loved about the PS2-era 3D platformers I poured hours into as a child, there's just a lot less of it.

REVIEW: Resident Evil Village
I was not thrilled when it was revealed that Resident Evil Village would be a continuation to Ethan's story of Resident Evil 7. Resident Evil7 was a good title, but Ethan's story and character were not as compelling as previous titles. Resident Evil Village rectifies all of that with a better core mystery and more character-driven lore. It also has more fun gameplay.

REVIEW: Unrailed!
The railway's navigators, the Navvys, worked tirelessly in both the UK and the US to build the extensive rail networks that helped to create the US. They also supplied western territories with railroads, which allowed the UK to experience its industrial revolution. These Navvys were dangerous and backbreaking workers. They also received very little pay.

REVIEW: New Pokémon Snap
The Pokemon Snap was first released in Japan in 1999. It is a delightful throwback to simpler times in the history of this now-legendary franchise. The concept of the N64 title was simple: take photos of Pokemon on a rail-shooter type track and get graded on your snaps. New Pokémon Snap remains the core of the game, regardless of all the bells and whistles.

REVIEW: Outriders
Outriders from developer People Can Fly, and publisher Square Enix are, at the most, an entertaining game. With its sci-fi Lords of the Flies setting and characters that are both complex and serviceable, the story is constantly at risk of raising ethical issues. At its best, the gameplay is thrilling and engaging. It can make you feel as god-like or more than many of the characters. It can be frustrating and almost punishing to play the way the game wants you to. It's a fascinating game, with some scary questions about the future and the necessity of online games brought up by the constant server problems. However, Outriders's intrigue is based more on its flaws and what could be, than what it is.

REVIEW: Forgotten Fields
Although some might think I am sycophantic, writing can be very challenging. It doesn't matter what media you use to write, sometimes it is difficult to get your thoughts down on paper. Or worse, you can't think of what you want. It's usually just procrastination that causes me to have this problem most of the time. Forgotten Fields places us in the shoes a fiction writer named Sid, who is struggling to put together a synopsis for his book. Forgotten Fields was developed by Armaan Sandhu, a Goa-based Frostwood Interactive, and published by Mumbai-based Dino Digital.

REVIEW: Disco Elysium – The Final Cut
The hotel room looks like a tornado has passed through it when you arrive. Your underwear is all you have, and clothes are scattered about the debris. A ceiling fan spins silently above your head and cold air rushes through a broken window. The tape deck spins in silence, with the recording scattered across the floor. Your head and thoughts are in chaos. Each thought is rolling in, trying to fit the pieces that don't fit together. Detective, it's time for you to get up.
