Starfield: Shattered Space: First Impressions: Spoiler Article

I have only had a couple of hours with this DLC, and all I can say is wow. I wish the base game was like this, and based on what I have seen so far, I will be buying the next DLC.

In the distance you can hear a beeping alarm, and wow was I spooked. The feeling…

Gori: Cuddly Carnage: Games Coming Soon

Wow, this game looks like a damn good time. I am completely shocked that a game that plays like this is coming out in 2024. I am not particularly drawn to the story. I don’t care about the story at all. Also, if I’m being honest, the character looks a bit stale in the design department. I guess, a better word might be stiff. But none of that matters. I still want to give this game a try. It…

For example, your outpost’s first bit of research should unlock the Fabricator. I will talk about this machine more in a separate article. Why are Outposts important?  Outposts are used to gather materials faster: You…

Review Criteria

I review games on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest a game could receive. I never give games a 0.  To receive a 1-3, the game needs to be broken. Scoring a 1 means the game is entirely unplayable. Scoring a 2-3 means the game is playable but does not run well or is downright bad.  Scoring a 4 puts the game in the bad range but is no longer considered terrible. Many…
