Submerged: Hidden Depths | Review

Submerged: Hidden Depths is a non-combat third-person “relaxploration” adventure set in sunken ruins surrounded by the ocean. The players take on the role of the brother and sister pair, Miku and Taku – one cursed with a mysterious power that she wants to use for good, the other determined not to let it tear them apart.

I didn’t know what to find when I started up Submerged: Hidden Depths, but what I found is a beautiful, captivating world begging for exploration. Wow, do I adore this game.

Halo Infinite Review | Campaign First Impressions

Access to ‘Halo Infinite’ provided to me by Microsoft/Xbox Canada for preview & review

Sometimes unexpected things happen. I have never considered myself a video game reviewer, yet for the last week, I’ve spent my time trying not to kill Master Chief in Halo Infinite repeatedly. Yes. I am writing a Halo Infinite Review. Someone pinch me.

The review is after the jump but, I want to preface with this: reviewing a video game is hard. It is even more challenging when your job is a stay-at-home parent. I did not get as much time with Halo Infinite as I wanted. My review is from the first five hours of the campaign.

Forza Horizon 5 Review: Initial Impressions

In early May, shortly after securing a Series S, I downloaded Forza Horizon 4 to give it a try. I had never played a Forza game before. My car-obsessed four-year-old saw me playing it, and it quickly became my most played game in May (and every month since) thanks to him wanting to watch me race. When E3 footage was released for Forza Horizon 5 in June, the game quickly jumped to my most anticipated game for 2021.

Forza Horizon 5 is everything I hoped it would be after seeing the footage earlier this year. From the opening sequence of driving down an active volcano in a 2021 Ford Bronco to cruising through the desert with the sun setting smashing cactus, there is something familiar yet new to the entire experience.
