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]
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]
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]
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]
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]

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]

Spindle Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
You can call me old if you want, but this is my jam for action-RPG-style games. Spindle from developer Let’s GameDev and publisher Deck 13 was released a few weeks ago on the Nintendo Switch, and I was assured that this was a Zelda-esque type of experience. That is a tall order to meet, considering the epic-ness of that classic franchise. What came out of that experience was exactly what was assur...[Read More]
Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Review (PS5)
It’s good to see a company treat an old IP like a new one, and with so much care. This past week, ARTDINK and Square Enix released Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake for consoles, and I tell you, folks, this is one gorgeous and fun set of games. Improved in this remake are the graphics, which set a new standard for how 2D isometric games should look, as well as quality-of-life features that shou...[Read More]
