Arcane Season 2 provides a captivating story with intriguing characters, building off of the fantastic first season. While not every story beat is a winner, the series still holds strong with fantastic performances, art, and music.

'Lunar' is the perfect portrayal of grief

“Lunar” by In Distance is an incredible album portraying the artist’s experience of grieving someone. He conveys this with the album's progression, the album’s rhetoric and lyrics, and the incredible emotional response the album provokes. Overall, Indy took a serious topic and portrayed it in all the right ways.



In our restless dreams…we go back, to that town, 'Silent Hill 2'

Bloober Team’s remake of iconic Silent Hill 2 is near a masterpiece. It might not achieve the same status as the original, but the game builds upon the foundations of what Team Silent originally designed over two decades ago, giving players, new and old, a fresh lens through which to experience the sorrowfully psychological story of James Sunderland. Any fan of the franchise should look to this game as the potential that the franchise isn’t dead—that hope may yet still reside within the town of Silent Hill.

Hippo Campus’ fourth album is flooding with heart

Hippo Campus flaunts a new, mature sound with Flood with one of their best tracklists yet. From down-to-earth admissions of faults, to hopeful inspiration, each song has something to say, leading to one of the band’s best releases.


GUTS (Spilled) is a perfectly spilled deluxe

GUTS (Spilled) is a fantastic expansion of a fantastic album. The range of different emotions this album is able to produce leads to me coming back to it no matter the mood I’m in. It is one of the few pieces of media I consider to be nearly flawless.



The polarizing world of the Apollo Justice trilogy

The Apollo trilogy has some character and story issues, but it mostly succeeds at the story it tries to tell, while looking and sounding beautiful. This trilogy is one I recommend more to already existing Ace Attorney fans, rather than newcomers to the series; however, these are all fantastic games that are worth playing.



Only Heaven Knows how she does it again

Coming off an outstanding year on TikTok, Pinkpantheress returns from her debut EP 'to hell with it' with her first full album release 'Heaven Knows'. While her songwriting may have needed a bit more effort, the drum and bass beats and Y2K vibes are a quality listen through and through.


WORLD OF HORROR makes the macabre mundane

Adding to the ever growing list of rogue-like games, WORLD OF HORROR offers unique and inventive gameplay, settled into stylish pixel art and eldritch horror in equal amount. While the loop approach to the narrative can end up a bit predictable, WORLD OF HORROR is an indie title well worth time and price tag. 


A whisk of 'Wonder' for Mario fans

With a stunning new artistic direction and a plethora of inventive power-ups and abilities, Super Mario Wonder is a marvelous addition to Nintendo's 2D Mario lineup. Adding a host of new ideas, Nintendo captures the wonderful wackiness of imagination.
