Sovereign Tower – Impressions (PC)
Decision-making is tough. Having to pull logic from the decisions before making them is even tougher. Who likes logic? Probably everyone. Anyway, Sovereign Tower from developer WILD WITS GAMES and publisher Curve Games is a game built on logic and decision-making, while also depending on gut feelings as a moral human being. In short, this game is amazing to play. While I normally wouldn’t tote a l...[Read More]
Super Alloy Crush Early Access Impressions (PC)
Give me some 2D side-scrolling action with a hefty side of fun. Super Alloy Crush from developer Alloy Mushroom was just released into Early Access this past week. We have had the pleasure of digging into this game before, and now that it’s out in the open and updated, we’re back again with a new preview. While I could never be as precise or as eloquent as Will Silberman with this game, or preview...[Read More]
Regions of Ruin: Runegate Review (PC)
This was fun. Yeah, that’s right. Nothing clever, just fun. Let’s get right into things. Regions of Ruin: Runegate, from developer Gameclaw Studio, is a game with many personalities. On the surface, it is an action game, where someone can slice and dice their way through goblins and other evil creatures. Below the surface hides a simulator, an open-world RPG, and a non-linear adventure that gives ...[Read More]
Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland Review (PC)
The 2D platformer has always been the heart of gaming since the mid-80s. It’s a go-to when it comes to finding easy ways to be entertained. While some developers don’t completely grasp or respect the gameplay construct of this genre, the developers at Die Soft clearly knew the assignment and what they had to make with their game, Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland. Little Nemo and the Gu...[Read More]
Samson Review (PC)
Sometimes potential can be seen miles away from the final destination. I see potential with Samson, but it has not quite completed its journey yet. The story of Samson has the titular character back in the town of Tyndalston from a prison stint and owing some very bad people a lot of money. His poor sister’s safety is at stake with the bad men, but Samson is hellbent on doing everything in his pow...[Read More]
GRIME II Review (PC)
While Metroidvania games are a dime a dozen these days, there are a few that typically stand out. One such example is GRIME II from developer Clover Bite and publisher Kwalee. GRIME II is an action RPG at heart, but it contains a lot of back and forth between locations, huge environments, and interesting boss fights that are worth getting frustrated over repeatedly. In addition, the game contains ...[Read More]
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Review (PS5)
So…this remastered business. Can we talk about it? When a game is remastered, it simply means that the game’s quality of life has been improved. A game being remade is certainly more profound (see Resident Evil 1-4 for details). Knowing the difference is essential to meeting one’s expectations of a game. And the expectations of the latest remastered game that was dropped on our Digitalchumps’ desk...[Read More]

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic Review (PS5)
I was never much of a simulator fan. Well, that’s not exactly true. I did love Jurassic Park, Genesis. That love revolved around building dinosaur enclosures, gathering huge crowds via helicopter, then nixing the helipads and dropping the fences. Sooo…I loved simulating the actual Jurassic Park film and book. The virtual dinosaurs and their bellies especially loved it. Anyway! Back to the point, s...[Read More]
Basketball Classics Review (PS5)
The rebirth of Acclaim has brought back a resurgence of classic material and gameplay concepts. One such resurgence revolves around 8-bit experiences and basketball. It’s a perfect time for both. Basketball Classics from developer Namo Gamo is a tip of the hat to an 8-bit basketball time that gave birth to such classics as Double Dribble and Lakers vs. Celtics. The gameplay for both titles wasn’t ...[Read More]
Last Man Sitting Review (PC)
Raw Fury is finding developers who are bringing unique experiences using old concepts. I can dig it. Old concepts that are updated to modern gameplay are always a huge plus. And today’s review features a game that has a lot of Dead Rising built into it and follows that old concept of point and shoot without much thought. Welcome to Last Man Sitting from developer DoubleMoose Games, where sitting o...[Read More]
DAMON and Baby Review (PC)
It has been about a month since we previewed DAMON and Baby, and we are back with a review of the fully finished game. While not much has changed with DAMON and Baby, our attitude toward the gameplay has certainly shifted. The isometric Diablo-wannabe brings some imaginative characters, large-scale levels, and a solid story that pushes it all along. The controls, which we brought up in the preview...[Read More]
