If you haven't tried Moonlighter 2 from @digitalsungames.com yet, now is the time. The 1.0 release delivers a fantastic mix of dungeon crawling and shopkeeping. Full review live on Serious/Gamer #Moonlighter 2 #DigitalSun
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault 1.0 Review – Refined Roguelite Shopkeeping
Returning to Moonlighter 2 in its 1.0 release feels less like a revelation and more like a refined return to a game we already loved. Digital Sun expands the biomes, shop mechanics, and combat paths, but unlocking the final story vaults demands a serious dungeon grind.

Conscripting citizens, building base infrastructure, and diving boots-first into chaotic, bullet-riddled battlefields under an iron-fisted regime. Pax Autocratica pairs a grim Warhammer-esque style with a repetitive but smooth, frantic FPS loop #PaxAutocratica #Gaming #PCGaming

Just saw The Odyssey in IMAX and the hype is real. Scene after scene blew me away. Damon is obviously amazing in this but Anne Hathaway...wow. this might be the performance of her career. A MUST see in theatre and in IMAX if you can. Still processing the film to be honest.
Hot Take! Yes the enshitification of the gaming industry continues with PlayStation announcing no more disc based games.....will that stop me from getting the PS6? No. Will I be annoyed? Yes. I am 100% digital on PC so not a new idea, I do like physical media but I love gaming more.

Is Saros the true successor to Returnal? The story trades isolation for a military-thriller vibe featuring Rahul Kohli but the gameplay remains the gold standard for PS5 action. The Eclipse mechanic is a literal game-changer. Check out my full review:
Saros PS5 Review: Housemarque Delivers a Stellar Successor to Returnal
Housemarque returns to the cosmic bullet-hell genre with Saros, a high-octane evolution of the Returnal formula. Led by Rahul Kohli and shrouded in Soltari Corp intrigue, Saros introduces the Carcosan Modifiers, a brilliant system that lets you tune the difficulty to your liking. Between the risk-heavy Eclipse mechanic and a deep, permanent progression system, is this the most accessible (and addictive) Housemarque title yet? Read our full breakdown of the mission on Carcosa.

The house is the puzzle, and your memory is the key. I went deep into the mysteries of Mt. Holly for the PS5 release of Blue Prince. It’s a rare gem that requires a physical notepad to solve shifting architectural riddles. #BluePrince #PS5 #IndieGames #PuzzleGames #GamingReview

Blue Prince isn't just a puzzle game, it’s a living blueprint. With a shifting floorplan that requires a physical notepad and a keen eye for detail, this architectural roguelite offers a cerebral mystery worth the grind—even when the RNG floorboards start to creak.
