RIDE 5 Review - Less Gran Turismo, More MotoGP Vibes
game review21 August 2023
We used to call the RIDE series “Gran Turismo for motorcycle lovers.” However, it seems Milestone has now a different vision, and brings RIDE 5 closer to MotoGP. It plays great but something important was lost in the process.

Baldur's Gate 3 Review: BG3 Is Great, But I Hoped for Greater Miracles
game review29 August 2023
Baldur's Gate 3 partially fulfilled my dreams, and partially didn't. It's a great adventure in my beloved genre, but ultimately it doesn't deliver on all of its promises. It's a phenomenon that I've entered with my mind, but not entirely with my soul.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Review. Mechas Die Twice
game review23 August 2023
The TV set melted and the PS4 is a pile of smoking ash after the encounter with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. This game in every respect reminds me of face-melting red-hot metal.
