Red Dead Redemption 2 Box Art

Red Dead Redemption 2

I've always been excited to explore new worlds and dive into fantastic stories. When Red Dead Redemption 2 was released, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I had heard so much about the game's incredible graphics, intricate storytelling, and vast open world. I also LOVED the first game and the Undead Nightmare expansion. However, after spending several hours playing and reaching midway through Chapter 4, I've come…
Starfield Box Art

Starfield

Hey, so I’m really into creating outposts, especially with linking cargo and all that. Spent a good bit of time messing around with them. But, I’m starting to wonder… what’s the real benefit of having ‘em? I seem to have more resources than I ever needed (just by exploring and moving through the game) and I can buy the ones I don’t have for crafting. Plus, they don’t seem to…

This division is facilitated by two artists - while the character model, motion capture, and facial expressions are provided by Finnish actor Ilkka Villi, his voice, contrastingly, is lent by American actor Matthew Porretta. The Spotlight on Ilkka Villi Ilkka Villi,…
The Last of Us Part II: Remastered Box Art

The Last of Us Part II: Remastered

The Last of Us Part II, a title that already etched its legacy in the gaming world on the PS4, returns with a remastered version for the PlayStation 5. The question that looms large is whether this remaster was necessary, given the original game's already impressive visuals and the fact that it's been nearly four years into the PS5's lifecycle without a brand-new title from Naughty Dog. However, the remastered…
Helldivers 2 Box Art

Helldivers 2

When Helldivers 2 launched, it felt like the perfect blend of chaotic action, strategic gameplay, and dark humor that fans of the original craved. The game's blend of intense co-op shooting and its unique world had players hooked from the start. I was one of those players—deeply engrossed in the game’s thrilling mix of tactical combat and bug-squashing mayhem. But as time has passed, it’s become clear that the developers,…
Starship Troopers: Extermination Box Art

Starship Troopers: Extermination

Starship Troopers: Extermination has arrived at a time when games like Helldivers are already setting the bar high for squad-based shooters. It’s thrilling to see a title that taps into the Starship Troopers universe, but given the strong competition, I hoped for a more polished experience right out of the gate. Unfortunately, my time with the game on PS5 was marred by technical issues, leaving me with mixed first impressions.…
