Pepper Grinder
It feels like I’m always eternally waiting for the next 2D action game published by Devolver Digital. Olija, Gunbrella, and now Pepper Grinder despite being developed by different people share something I’m always looking for in the genre. Solid controls, fun movement mechanics, crunchy sound effect
Dragon's Dogma
I’ve been waiting for a sequel to Dragon’s Dogma ever since I played the PC version a few years back. It’s a deeply special game with so many unique ideas, engaging systems, and freedom that’s hard to come by in a single RPG experience. That is until Dragon’s Dogma 2,...
It’s been so long since I’ve played a good Contra game that I didn’t really have any expectations when a new one was announced. Thankfully, WayForward have done a pretty solid job of reviving the series in a way that doesn’t comprise its challenging roots but doesn’t push the series...
Helldivers 2
I’m not the biggest fan of live-service games, especially ones loaded with microtransactions, grindy battle passes, and FOMO-driven content distribution, so when a multiplayer game comes out that simply offers an enjoyable experience without subjecting me to the grind, it’s hard for me not to give a
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy collects the second mainline trilogy of the Ace Attorney series, and this new release follows the tradition of CAPCOM’s previous compilations with additional content packed in along with goodies for fans. As someone who only recently got into the series thanks to
Turnip Boy is always up to no good. The cute little fella can’t help himself and keeps getting roped into a litany of crimes. This time is no different, and after killing a literal God and committing tax evasion, Turnip Boy, along with the Pickled Gang are off to rob...
The Reigns series has been around for a while now, and for their fifth entry, Nerial has chosen to base their latest adventure on the Chinese epic, “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. Reigns: Three Kingdoms, is ultimately, more Reigns, but it has a few tricks up its sleeves to push...
Blood West
It’s clear that the AAA industry is done with the immersive sim genre, and it's up to smaller and independent developers to carry the torch and provide players with experiences where experimentation is always rewarded. One of these games is Blood West, a stealth-focused immersive sim that borrows fr
I’ve always appreciated the SteamWorld franchise from a distance, and despite trying out multiple titles, I could never play them for more than a few hours. This changed with Steamworld Build, especially because of its excellent demo that does a great job of introducing its mechanics. Now that I’ve
I’m not the biggest fan of visual novels. They struggle to keep my attention, and I’ve not had luck with the many recommendations thrown my way. Slay the Princess might be the first one that I couldn’t stop playing, and was enamored with it throughout. In my review, I’ll try...
It’s becoming incredibly hard for a rogue-like/lite to stand out these days, especially when the genre has exploded in popularity over the past few years, with some incredible titles that serve as benchmarks in their dedicated sub-genres. You are bound to make comparisons, and that’s why the smarter
Gunbrella is a beautifully animated, focused, and satisfying 2D-action title that delivers on its premise in spades. Gliding around with your Gunbrella as you blast away enemies never gets old, and while the game does suffer from a lack of challenge and minor readability issues, it’s one of the most...
