It hasn't been a smooth ride for Assassin's Creed Valhalla since its launch last year.

Mini Review Kaze and the Wild Masks (PS4) - A Tough But Fun 2D Platformer
Driving me Kaze
Kaze and the Wild Masks is a 2D platformer described by developers PixelHive as '90s inspired'. This is definitely accurate, as there’s a majorly nostalgic vibe, from the slightly retro feeling artwork and music to the lack of dialogue. It simultaneously feels years old and brand new. The titular Kaze, an anthropomorphic bunny,...

Soapbox PGA Tour 2K21 Has Quietly Become One of PS4's Best Sports Games
Hole in one
2K Sports’ recent acquisition of HB Studios encouraged me to revisit PGA Tour 2K21 this week, a game which I liked a lot when I reviewed it last year but felt was still one iteration away from excellence. To be honest, I’ve been blown away by many of the improvements made, and while there are still obvious weak areas, I think the...

Mini Review Mundaun (PS4) - Beauty in Style, But Not Gameplay
Better than swiss cheese
When a game has as much going for it as Mundaun does, it's all the more heartbreaking when one vital aspect lets the whole side down.

I've never, ever been one to replay games. The act isn't completely foreign to me — three immediate playthroughs of The Last of Us: Part II, I'm looking at you — but I'm almost always looking ahead to what's next after rolling credits. That is unless the Platinum Trophy is somewhat achievable, of course. I generally...

But no word on 4K, 60fps just yet
Wreckfest has quietly matured into one of the best racers available on PlayStation 4, but it runs at 30 frames-per-second, which is less than ideal for a title of its ilk.
