Tides of Tomorrow Review (PS5)
Sometimes, all a game needs is a good story to create the gameplay from. Something meaningful, obvious in its intentions, and can be easily pulled from to make the right amount of “that’s it!” to the overall experience. Welcome to Tides of Tomorrow. Tides of Tomorrow, from developer Digixart, takes the same path as their previous societal project, Road 96. Instead of speaking directly about oppres...[Read More]
Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege Review (PS5)
Going back to the NES 8-bit days of Castlevania is not as easy as it should be. It’s doubly not as easy when something modern is made that way on purpose. Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege from developer Lillymo Games is a title that reaches back to the NES days when games like Castlevania ruled the earth. The joy and torture of those games back in the day relied on rigid controls, unforgivable and...[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]
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]
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]
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review (PC)
It has been nearly a year since I wrote what I consider to be one super-informative and well-respected review for Death Stranding 2. Okay, only one of those is true. You can guess. Anyway! I am back again, thanks to Death Stranding finding its way to the PC this past Friday. While my opinion of the game hasn’t waivered one bit, the experience has improved thanks to powerful PC capabilities. And th...[Read More]
Resident Evil Requiem Review (PS5)
Picture this. You’re 20 years old, going to college, and working at Waldensoftware in Fayette Mall (Lexington, Kentucky). A shipment of PlayStation games comes in with something called Resident Evil. You and your co-workers can’t stop laughing at the goofy opening, where a very mousse-haired man is running and shooting at dogs that aren’t real. And you think to yourself, “Who would ever buy this g...[Read More]
KILLER INN Preview (PC)
Back in the 1980s, having a murder mystery party meant that you would force friends to get dressed up, memorize lines like in a play, and come over to your house to solve a murder that had occurred. Live-action Clue was so much fun, but now it has changed. Thanks to COVID-19 and the rise of the 2018 title Among Us, something that still reverberates after nearly a decade, figuring out a murder and ...[Read More]
DAMON and Baby Preview (PC)
As we have over the last month, Digitalchumps has been knee-deep in putting together previews for upcoming Steam games. While we haven’t traditionally done this, it’s been a fun go-around with early sneak peeks at soon-to-be-released titles and where they stand versus how they become. Demos and player feedback go a long way in shaping a game’s future release. Anyway, this time out, we present to y...[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]
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]
