The Inquisitor Review

The Inquisitor is a unique take on the lore of Jesus and may not be appreciated by all, nor may my commentary. For this reason, I  would caution before reading the following review.

Yooka-Re-Playlee Review

In 2017, Playtonic Games released what was to be considered a spiritual successor to the well-loved Banjo-Kazooie series: Yooka-Laylee.

Somber Echoes is a platform heavy side-scrolling Metroidvania with progressive mechanics and an extensive interconnected maze of a world to explore. It feels a bit like playing Ori, if Ori was set in a dark, mostly destroyed spaceship and had multiple endings, each with their own boss battle. Co-developed by Norwegian based indie Rock Pocket Games and Lav Games, it’s part sci-fi, part post apocalyptic, and also draws from Greek and Roman mythology for both the story and impressive 2.5 D visuals built in Unreal Engine 5. It was originally released for PC on January 21st and later on PS5 and Xbox
