Kaze and the Wild Masks Review
If you ever want to tug on the heartstrings of older gamers, then take what made the 90s great in a platformer, reproduce it, spice it up with a little ‘new’, and throw it on a last and current generation platform. PixelHive has done just that with their latest release in Kaze and the Wild Masks. A mixture of pseudo-blast processing gameplay and a tad of creativity to make the adventure interestin...[Read More]
Blue Fire Review
Sometimes a game can be torn apart by competing systems. Blue Fire by no means is a bad game; in fact, its platforming is some of the most fun platforming I’ve played on the Switch when it comes to indie titles. What bogs it down are the various other mechanics thrown in that seem to detract from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Borrowing mechanics from games like Dark Souls, Blue Fire tends to ...[Read More]

Wildfire (Switch) Review
I am not good at video games. I sit before you a 29-year-old whose “peak” was either in 2010 when I was the 94th best Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection player (PSP) worldwide for a total of 3 weeks OR in June 2020 when I was ranked in the top 5% of all Team Fight Tactics players in North America for about a month. I mention this not as a way to humbly brag and tip my fedora, but instead to indicate that...[Read More]
Ori and the Will of the Wisps Review
To say that to play Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an emotional rollercoaster would be an understatement. Filled with incredible, joyful highs and soul-crushing lows, Will of the Wisps is one of the few games in the last year that has truly held a vice grip on my heart. Developed by Moon Studios, this action-adventure Metroidvania is masterfully crafted and manages the perfect balance of intrigu...[Read More]
Spelunky 2
What a crazy game Mossmouth has created. Spelunky 2 is an old school adventure platformer that tests your patience and time through randomly generated levels. Each time you die, you start off with a new level, and believe me…you’re going to die quite a bit. The first version of Spelunky came out in 2012 and was released on the Xbox 360/PS3/PS4/PSVita/PC. It contained the formula of the game, where...[Read More]

The story goes that Skully is about to celebrate his mort...[Read More]
