Escape from Ever After Review
Ever After Corp. is in the business of peddling out dressed-up fairy tales, rebranding and then wheeling and dealing them out to the highest bidder. Sleepy Castle Studio’s Escape From Ever After is a hilarious homage to both corporate culture and fairy tales.

Nioh 3 Review
Nioh 3 comes in red hot with welcome additions to the heart-pumping combat the series is known for. However, its open world elements don’t quite bring the same heat, perhaps needing a bit more time in the crucible.
