Review – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is such an unusual influential game. What could have been an attempt at emulating the sport became an insult to physics and one of the most entertaining games at the time. Years later, it's finally received a worthwhile remake and not the travesty that was the last remake.

Review – Resident Evil: Revelations
Back around when Resident Evil: Revelations was first released on the 3DS, some were hailing it as a return to horror (I have the receipts and everything). It's not that. It's not bad, either, but if this is only horror if you have a mortal fear of hickies.

Review – Slime Rancher
Slime Rancher is among the most successful cozy games in the niche, and for the most part, I love it. However, it's like a glass of milk; it's very enjoyable at first, but if you sit with it too long, it starts to smell and you don't want to drink it.

Review – Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
I stopped following the Resident Evil series after the disappointment that was Resident Evil 5. I didn't stop caring, though, so I was happy to see it return to horror. And Resident Evil 7 is a good time, just, you know, barring a few problems I had with it.

Review – Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Nazis are easily some of the most fun-to-kill bad guys in video games. This goes back well before Wolfenstein 3D, but the series has really run with it. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a step back from the tech Nazis of The New Order but feels weirdly fresh.

Review – Cyberpunk 2077
I love cyberpunk, by which I mean the genre, not the game. The game is just all right. I'm not mad about its launch. To be honest, I didn't care. But even with all its performance issues and bugs under control, Cyberpunk 2077 is just another open world game.

Review – Signalis
The survival horror genre was reasonably long-lived but eventually went to where all dead genres go: the indie and alternative markets. Very rarely does one arrive from the big budget space, and if it does, it's a remake. Case in point, here's Signalis, which takes inspiration from survival horror of old.

Review – Mutant Football League
Football is the dumbest of sports. Now that I have your attention, I don't really like football. I've tried. But even the blitziest of Blitzes didn't grab my goat horns. As it turns out, there is a way to get me to play football. Mutant Football League taught me.

Review – Cult of the Lamb
Not only will you get a review of Cult of the Lamb, you'll also get to hear about my family's adjacency and weird run in with an actual scary cult, the Ant Hill Kids. I'm not sure that many critics out there could really provide you with that perspective.

Review – La-Mulana
Completing La-Mulana without a guide is a feat of strength. That's probably why I couldn't do it. After an unsuccessful run some years ago, I tried again on another console and with a begrudged willingness to get outside help. It went a lot better this time.
