Review – Mafia: Definitive Edition
I should have probably been more enthusiastic about Mafia: Definitive Edition. Hold on, that’s not as revealing as you may think. I’m just saying, a full remake of one of my favourite games from my adolescent days probably should have been more of a priority for me. I bought it around release, but never pushed far into it. Probably because…

Review – Betrayal at Club Low
It's the fourth game in the Cosmo D, and with Betrayal at Club Low, the interactivity has caught up with the aesthetic. Dice should be appreciative, because they have never had it so good.

Review – Rendering Ranger: R2 Rewind
A ridiculously rare Super Famicom game is given new life in Rendering Ranger R2 Rewind. Well, not "new" life, but if you haven't played it, it's new, right?

Review – Sword of Fargoal
Fire up your Commodore 64 and prepare to load star, because it's time for Sword of Fargoal. It's a roguelike from before those were absolutely everywhere, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Review – Mafia
Open-world crime games are hardly uncommon. Even when Mafia was released in 2002, it wasn't breaking new ground. But it found success where few games at the time did: a slavish dedication to detail.

Review – Burggeist
If you’re sitting there thinking, “what the hell is Burggeist,” you’re most certainly not alone. It’s clearly flown under the radar of just about everyone: it has less than 60 reviews on Steam as of now, the solo developer has under 300 followers on X, and it doesn’t even exist on OpenCritic. I’m here now to tell you why that…

Review – Wyrmhall: Brush and Banter
I've never cleaned anything in my life, so Wyrmhall: Brush and Banter was certainly a learning experience. As it turns out, I'm pretty good at it, as long as you don't count the times I made a mistake and almost undid all of reality. At least there's snacks.

Review – Tales from Off-Peak City Vol. 1
The third-ish game in Cosmo D's body of work pushes forward the pizza-centricity that the series has followed. Placing you at the corner of Yam and July, you work undercover in a pizza joint, making pies and learning the darker secrets behind the neighbourhood and the factory that dominates is skyline.

Review – Penguin-Kun Wars (Arcade)
Grab your balls, it's time to go to war. Penguin-Kun Wars has you sliding your balls down the table as you seek to overwhelm your opponent. Its simple gameplay certainly smells like 1985, but that doesn't mean we can't have a good time.
