REVIEW: Ghost of Tsushima
The next generation of the PlayStation will soon replace the PlayStation 4. We've been given a treasure trove of PlayStation exclusives during this beloved era. These range from The Last of Us Remastered to The Last of Us Part II with all manner of quality content in-between. The final PS4 exclusive title is here, a Sucker Punch Productions original IP. Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world game that allows us to live our ultimate samurai fantasies. __S.4__

REVIEW: Tank Mechanic Simulator
I will give it a shot, video game or not. While you won't find me hanging-gliding (f*** highs) or deep-sea-diving (f*** sharks), there are many video games I will try. It is very foolish to write off whole genres, as I learned from cinema. In this spirit, I started Tank Mechanic Simulator expecting at least a game I could enjoy.

REVIEW: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time!
My favorite Crash Bandicoot game is the one I play most often in my spare time. I have been a fan of the franchise since its inception and have witnessed its rises as well as its (unfortunately frequent) falls. Fans were eager for a new game after The N.Sane Trilogy's huge success and Crash: Nitro Fuelled's failure. In June 2020, Toys For Bob (Spyro: The Reignited Trilogy developer) announced that they would be creating a brand new game. It would be a direct sequel of Crash Bandicoot: Warped. The hype and anticipation for the game was high. But, is it worth it?

REVIEW: 9 Monkeys of Shaolin
People are re-inventing retro games as a result of recent events. It's unclear if this is due to people being dissatisfied by modern games or wanting to re-experience retro games. However, we know that retro gaming genres are experiencing an increase in interest.

REVIEW: Watch Dogs Legion
Watch Dogs: Legion is released four years after the release of the first entry in Ubisoft’s open-world tech-themed series. It will be an improvement on Watch Dogs 2, which was seen as a positive step forward. The initial unveiling in 2019 focused on two key elements that would determine Legion's future. These were the new setting of London, and the innovative concept that allows players to control any NPC they wish, effectively creating their own team of hacktivists. Ubisoft fails again to prevent Watch Dogs : Legion from falling into the familiar traps for which the developer is sadly well-known.

REVIEW: Spider-Man Miles Morales
Insomniac's recent visit to New York captures a moment that truly embodies what makes Spider-Man such a unique character and figure. Miles Morales is our new hero. He walks down the street when he sees two people creating a mural of Peter Parker on Harlem's wall. Miles lives there now. He admires their work and asks about the "new man." The artist tells Miles that he likes Parker but prefers the original.

REVIEW: Black Desert Online (PS4)
Although MMOs are a new genre to me, I have played a few in my short videogame playing career. When I was 10, I played RuneScape. After a long day at school, I tried my hand at World of Warcraft. I also played some Guild Wars 2 after the Heart of Thorns DLC was released. I loved The Elder Scrolls series so I continued to play Elder Scrolls Online once the subscription ended.

REVIEW: Bridge Constructor – The Walking Dead
Do you remember completing a huge task? Any task that involves a lot of detail and painstaking work. One mistake can bring it all down. While I cannot speak for everyone, I know that I have been able plan large events and complete large projects without any problems. I also remember feeling the same way when Bridge Constructor is played. That's what I felt, at least with Bridge Constructor The Walking Dead, the latest Bridge Constructor collaboration.

REVIEW: Dirt 5
Codemasters has been synonymous with racing games since 1998's game-changing Colin McRae rally. Their sequel, in 2000, was their second. They have been at forefront of the rally sub-genre ever since. Codemasaters, who had been following the formula for nearly a decade made the decision that they would change their established franchise and expand beyond the OG rally experience.

REVIEW: My Aunt is a Witch
It's surprising to me that I haven't actively sought out visual novels that combine my two greatest passions, video games and books, until now. I was excited to try My Aunt's a Witch from developers Sometimes You. It is a whimsical visual novel with a playful look. It turned out to be one of my worst gaming experiences in the last few months.

REVIEW: Bus Driver Simulator
Simulators seem like a strange idea. To play a simulation of a job, we pay a premium. They are trying to replicate the experience. However, I have spent a lot of time on simulators such as Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator (TSS), Train Simulator World, and Train Simulator World. At this point, I feel more than qualified to review simulators. KishMish Games has developed Bus Driver Simulator on Nintendo Switch.
