Ashen Review – Turning Strangers Into Friends
—
in GamesAshen has a distinct look and its landscapes are imaginative, but no level of creativity can hide the fact that it is a shameless Dark Souls clone.

Battle Princess Madelyn Review – Retro To A Fault
—

Darksiders III Review – A Quality Experience From Another Age
—
in GamesThe Darksiders series is a pastiche of beloved games and genres that came before it.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Review – Treyarch’s Gambit Yields Big Rewards
—
in GamesEvery year, the unceasing refrain that Call of Duty is the same gets repeated like a dogmatic mantra.
