  • Returnal is a tour de force of the roguelike genre. Housemarque has created an interesting world that engages your senses and entrances you. Jumping into Selene's world and discovering more about her and the planet is intense, but fulfilling. With beaut...

  • Returnal is a brutally tough but satisfying roguelike journey that is buoyed by its addictive combat and myriad of weapons, items and upgrades that ensure the journey doesn't get stale. Its narrative is gripping and unsettling, its visual aesthetic is arr...

  • Abstract:  Hello. My name is Eric Hauter, and I am a mediocre gamer. I'm not saying that to be self-deprecating, I'm saying it because it is true. My twitch skills are not great. I'm pushing 50, and I would like to blame my slow hands on my age, but in truth, I've a...
