I reviewed Orbitals for @monstervine.com! As a huge fan of local co-op games, it hit the spot I was hoping it would. A big thanks to my amazing twin brother @mattymurphy.bsky.social for being my +1 on our space voyage. Hope you enjoy the review! https://monstervine.com/2026/09/orbitals-review/01 Sep 2026 14:52 +0000at://did:plc:eccjengmtlkyvxefrsqwjimy/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhocs3sek2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/mikemurf2.bsky.social/post/3muhwitkq5c2rJust wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for interacting with my work these past two weeks. Doing four reviews and the interview with Nick as well as a part-time job was a lot, but I had a blast. That said, I’m still open to reviewing several games in October. Don’t worry, I can handle it😎 https://static.klipy.com/ii/a8ada81afc59159ea5c8927feffa2e31/e2/68/b5EJUrRx7wHPpSvPz.gif?hh=281&ww=498&mp4=I4j6971u47R6cuUQld&webm=I3vT5cCpDRhnGc875VCX01 Sep 2026 17:19 +0000at://did:plc:eccjengmtlkyvxefrsqwjimy/app.bsky.feed.post/3muhwitkq5c2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/mikemurf2.bsky.social/post/3muhocs3sek2hMy third review in two days!

I got to review The Blood of Dawnwalker for @butwhytho.net! Having went to the preview, I knew going into it that it was good, but boy was I happy to find out it was very better! An excellent RPG with amazing writing and one I highly recommend.

I got to review Onimusha: Way of the Sword for @smashpad.com! I had a great time with it and, while it’s not my favorite of Capcom’s this year, it’s a fun and challenging joyride filled with some great characters and exciting action. Check it out below! Thanks! https://smashpad.com/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-review/31 Aug 2026 15:03 +0000at://did:plc:eccjengmtlkyvxefrsqwjimy/app.bsky.feed.post/3muf6h7edjc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/mikemurf2.bsky.social/post/3muf7x4uj3k2pDoing both Onimusha and Blood of Dawnwalker at the same time was a pretty interesting experience, as I found both of them had similar strengths like characters, world-building, and music. I had a blast with the experiences. Is it too soon to say I can’t wait to do it again😬31 Aug 2026 15:30 +0000at://did:plc:eccjengmtlkyvxefrsqwjimy/app.bsky.feed.post/3muf7x4uj3k2phttps://bsky.app/profile/mikemurf2.bsky.social/post/3muf6iijwm22nBUT WAIT IM NOT DONE YET!

Another banger battle theme, for sure! I cannot wait to play Persona 4 Revival (so jealous of those who have already haha). https://youtu.be/MgWXsRQ1cPI?si=ExHL0eew9LanmkmP29 Aug 2026 17:29 +0000at://did:plc:eccjengmtlkyvxefrsqwjimy/app.bsky.feed.post/3muafphrv4k26https://bsky.app/profile/mikemurf2.bsky.social/post/3mu4d5yb3522aMan, Grand Theft Auto VI looks amazing.
