Semblance Review
Semblance is a game that relies on your enjoyment of the satisfying feeling that comes with the act of reshaping objects and environments. The game’s world and its unnamed blobby protagonist are as malleable as…

Earthfall Review: An Inferior Invasion
It’d be easy to dismiss Earthfall as nothing more than a Left 4 Dead clone, and you wouldn’t be wrong to do so. Despite riffing on well-known and beloved source material, Earthfall drags, with unremarkable…
