Sonic Frontiers (PS5/XSX) Review

Posted on March 20, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

My 6 year old son’s obsession with Sonic is what drove me to purchase, and play Sonic’s newest entry with him. Truth be told, while I have played nearly all of the entries within the Sonic series; I haven’t been excited about a Sonic game since 1998, and Sonic Adventure’s Dreamcast reveal.  Sonic (Despite its…

God of War: Ragnarok (PS4/PS5) Review

Posted on February 17, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

2018’s God of War is one of the best game of all time, and certainly, one of the best games on the PlayStation 4’s stellar catalogue of exclusive games. Its sequel does nothing to take the series somewhere new. It is a continuation of the first game’s storyline, and its gameplay mechanics.  Raganarok is slightly…

Days Gone Director: Game was Panned Because Reviewers were too ‘Woke’

Posted on December 8, 2022December 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

And so, Days Gone continues to make news waves for controversial reasons. John Gavin, the game’s director, who has, for the most part, been bitter against Sony for its treatment of the IP, expressed in a tweet that reviewers panned the game because they were too ‘woke’ to embrace Days Gone’s gruff looking White biker…

Horizon Forbidden West (PS5/PS4) Review

Posted on September 21, 2022September 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

While we don’t have a review of Horizon Zero Dawn on the site, those of you who have read my work throughout the years, know that I loved the game’s visuals, storyline, and its main character. Given the above, I was thrilled when the Horizon Forbidden West was announced for PS4 and PS5. The first…

Sony Resurrects Days Gone as a Film After Canning its Game Sequel

Posted on August 23, 2022August 23, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Days Gone is a weird Sony IP. Long development struggles, a third party (Unreal 4) Engine, average critical scores, and less than stellar early sales, all hindered the franchise’s prospects. Days Gone is, certainly, Sony’s most recent ugly duckling. Sony prides itself on PlayStation being the home to the best exclusive games (85+ Metacritic ratings),…

TGIF: Which was the Largest “Next Gen” Console Leap?

Posted on June 3, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I guess, if I asked someone the question of “what have been your favorite home console ‘next gen’ moments in any console generation?” The answer would be largely dependent on the age of the person being asked the question. To me, these special moments took place during the 32/64-bit era. The transition from 2-D to…

TGIF: Looking Back at Horizon Zero Dawn

Posted on May 6, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I never wrote an official review for Horizon Zero Dawn. So, this piece will stand as my “official” take on what I consider to be my 2nd (behind The Last of Us) favorite newest franchise of the last 10 years.  To be fair, in terms of a single story driven playthrough, I might have enjoyed Horizon…

Posted on January 18, 2022January 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

With 116 million units sold, the PlayStation 4 was the most successful 8th generation system, and consequently, it sold millions of third party and first party games during its lifecycle.   I can’t quite recall a generation in which a PlayStation console sold as many first party games in such great numbers as the PlayStation…

Sony’s Days Gone’s Treatment; Was it Justified?

Posted on January 8, 2022January 9, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The big news this week is that Sony (and Sucker Punch) celebrated (joyously) the success of their newest open-world franchise, Ghost of Tsushima, which moved 8 million units within a year and half. Former Bend Studio Director, Jeff Ross, took issue with the situation as it related to his own open-world game, Days Gone. Days…
