Aphelion Preview (PC)
It has been a long time since I left a preview immediately wanting more, but here we are. Aphelion from developer and publisher DON’T NOD is an interesting survival adventure game that takes the best of what has been done with Horizon Zero Dawn and Tomb Raider, and wraps it in a gorgeous winter, science fiction backdrop. In addition, the narrative seems rich with promising details and well-defined...[Read More]
Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land Review (PC)
Sometimes you have to get beyond the first layer of a cake before you find the yummy magic of it. True story. Of course, that cake this time around is Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land from developer Exquisite Laundry Pet LLC. This game, which was built for an old school Gameboy experience, harkens back to simpler times. It contains a very basic role-playing game structure that is driven by logic pro...[Read More]
Rainbow Gate Review (PC)
Sometimes imitation is the best compliment, even if that imitation happens to be a combination of several pieces of art. Rainbow Gate, from developer 7EVIL Studio, brings a familiar horror structure and set of gameplay elements with a sprinkle of its own design. While it does follow the setup and pattern of Five Nights at Freddy’s, it also throws in a hefty dose of jump scares, quick time events, ...[Read More]
Super Bomberman Collection Review (PC)
The last time I dived headfirst into the Bomberman series was with the Sega Saturn back in the late 90s. My friend, Shane Bettenhausen, had the imported version for the Saturn and the capabilities of playing 10-players at once thanks to a multi-tap controller port. What ensued for hours upon hours was a competitive Bomberman tournament that devolved into a drinking game at one point (not Shane, bu...[Read More]
Luna Abyss Preview (PC)
This past week, we were privy to a preview of Luna Abyss. This is a first-person bullet shooter by trade, but also sports a bit of a Doom personality, especially in the weaponry department. While the demo didn’t last too long, and it is accessible on Steam for your own eyes to find out, it still left a positive impression that there are good times ahead for this game. Those good times begin with a...[Read More]
4PGP Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
While I certainly love the concept of the more recent Codemasters F1 release, as it dives into the complicated depths of the sport, there’s something joyous about simplicity in racing games. When I speak of simplicity in racing games, I am pointing to old arcade experiences like Monaco GP, Pole Position, and/or Super Sprint. All bring some F1 love to their gameplay experience without the complicat...[Read More]
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Review (PC)
Square Enix is on a roll with these re-released versions of their older Dragon Quest games. I sincerely hope they keep going and make more. No joke, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is quite impressive. Developers Square Enix and HexaDrive captured the essence of the classic title from 2001 on the PlayStation, reimagined a modern-day version of it, and nailed it. While the quest is noticeably the same,...[Read More]
Don’t Stop, Girlypop! Review (PC)
While I understand that fast-paced shooters have been around forever, as I did live through the emergence of first-person shooter titles back in the day, my more recent memory of them starts with Ultrakill. That game is fast, intense, and loaded with violence, and a beautiful, raw sense of competitive nature. It brought back a lot of memories from the Unreal Tournament days. Now, following in its ...[Read More]
Blightstone Review (PC)
Roguelite tactical turn-based games are becoming quite popular these days. While the tip-top tier is led by Slay the Spire, as well as other notables, the genre is still trying to find new ways to innovate and evolve its gameplay. It’s a difficult task considering how restrictive the nature of its structure is, as its traits are typically path randomization, gradual progression, and eventual giant...[Read More]
