I wasn’t sure what to expect after Resident Evil 3 (2020) and Savior’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake Review but the Destroy all humans remake is looking like a blast while sticking faithfully close to the classic. I can’t wait to see what becomes of this. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Snowrunner Out Now on PC, Xbox1 and PS4

Snowrunner is one of those games from Focus Home Interactive and Saber Interactive made for a very niche market of gamers, kind of like Farming Simulator 19. I was lucky enough to get a review code for this one and I can say a few things about it, such as graphically the game is beautiful and it plays well. The rest I will save for the full review but until then, enjoy the launch trailer, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla reveal trailer

I’m the first to admit, while I’ve fallen out of touch with the Assassin’s Creed series, this trailer is pretty damn badass. I’m kind of curious how a viking era Creed game can go. I can’t wait to see what the gameplay looks like. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope reveal trailer

I’m sad to say I missed the last installment of this blooming anthology, Little  Hope looks pretty promising. I’m a huge fan of Until Dawn and I’m curious to see what kind of horror we can see next. I’ll definitely keep an eye on this one. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
