Thank you. ❤️ youtu.be/4Z6NWk5y01Y?...

I am so excited for Boltgun 2! It feels like a genuine upgrade in every sense of the way.

I can't believe I'm the highest score on Metacritic, haha. If you told me that when I was reviewing any Bubsy game over the last decade, I would have politely called you a crazed liar. Big props to Fabraz for redeeming Bubsy with such a fun game!!

Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen is, understandably, an extremely straightforward action-adventure game that will appeal to the children who have made the show so popular. - @spencer-legacy.bsky.social Our review: monstervine.com/2026/05/blue...

Needless to say, I am beyond excited for Boltgun 2's full release. - @imluisgutierrez.bsky.social @aurochdigital.bsky.social @bigfangames.com Our preview: monstervine.com/2026/05/bolt...

Bluey's Quest for the Golden Pen reviews are filtering in: www.metacritic.com/game/blueys-... "...it’ll absolutely be a hit with kids who like the show." - Monster Vine

Thanks for the shoutout on our Bubsy 4D review! @giantbomb.com @spencer-legacy.bsky.social

Table Flip Simulator has a lot of creative and satisfying ideas at play, but they’re hidden under an unpolished presentation and some pretty brutal writing. - @spencer-legacy.bsky.social Our review: monstervine.com/2026/05/tabl...

Given the franchise's history, Busby 4D shocked me with how exceptional it is as a game. - @spencer-legacy.bsky.social @fabraz.bsky.social @atari.com Our review: monstervine.com/2026/05/bubs...

All of that is minor in the grand scheme of Forza Horizon 6, which continues the series' dominance in this casual, arcade-esque style of racing. - @jamesthecarr.bsky.social Our review: monstervine.com/2026/05/forz...

Overall, I enjoyed my look at The Sinking City 2. - @samlienhard.bsky.social monstervine.com/2026/05/the-...

As the debut title from developer Nobody Crown, there’s a lot to like with Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery. - @kneehighpark.bsky.social Our review: monstervine.com/2026/05/feli...

Scattered Hopes hits the mood beats from the beginning: Beautiful and downbeat music, weird violins, dark electronica. - @oldpappythomas.bsky.social @dotemu.bsky.social @altshiftgames.bsky.social Our review: monstervine.com/2026/05/batt...

Directive 8020 explores enthralling themes and serves up some aesthetically pleasing scares, but its overreliance on bland stealth sections and janky pacing hold the game back. - @spencer-legacy.bsky.social Our review: monstervine.com/2026/05/dire...

Mixtape is a fantastic game that celebrates how a specific period of time can intertwine with music to craft a memorable and touching story. - @spencer-legacy.bsky.social monstervine.com/2026/05/mixt...

Last week, I was able to go hands-on with 007 First Light, and I was blown away with what I played. I am beyond excited for its full release. If you have a moment give my story a read!

Invincible VS is quite similar to the series' protagonist, Invincible. He’s often conflicted, and as an alien, human, and superhero, he has much to live up to. In Invincible VS’ case, I’m not sure that it does live up to expectations. - @raisinbman.bsky.social monstervine.com/2026/04/invi...

Dragon Quest Smash/Grow is a decent enough mobile game that will appeal to fans of the series who don’t mind gacha elements, though the story feels a bit generic when compared to other Dragon Quest games. - @spencer-legacy.bsky.social monstervine.com/2026/04/drag...

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is an interesting take on the Cthulhu Mythos, even if its overall narrative doesn't stand out. - @samlienhard.bsky.social monstervine.com/2026/04/cthu...
