I’ll be honest, I had never heard of the indie developer Cococucumber before seeing a trailer for Ravenlok. What surprised me even more was that this wasn’t the studio’s first title. In fact, Ravenlok is the third and supposedly final entry to their Voxel Trilogy franchise. Their first game was...
Respawn Entertainment shocked everyone in 2019, not just by releasing a new Star Wars game (something totally different for the company that made its reputation from first-person shooters), but by releasing an actual good Star Wars game. I would even go as far as to say that Star Wars Jedi:...
I first reviewed Call of the Sea back when it released in 2020, and I absolutely loved it. It was a captivating journey from start to finish, largely thanks to its blending of first-person exploration and puzzles, set within a Lovecraftian mystery. When I heard it was being adapted...
DLCs can range in the amount content they offer players. Sometimes a DLC is nothing more than a few extra short missions and cosmetic offerings, while others offer fully fleshed out stories that are almost their own game. Some of the most noteworthy examples of remarkably beefy DLCs are Dragon...
There’s no denying that consumerism is a pox upon our very existence. With our ever-growing desire for creature comforts, keeping up with the current trends, and salivating over the most recent technological advancements, we as a species continue to take and take from our precious planet. But what happens when...
Frogwares came back into the spotlight a couple years ago with a brand-new adventure, Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One. It focused on the infamous sleuth in his younger days, filled with sass and swagger, before attaining his notoriety. Despite some flaws, I rather enjoyed my time with Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One,...

Sometimes, you want to play a game that takes you on a grand adventure. Other times, you want to play a game where you can just turn your brain off and explore. Then there are times when you want feel a sense of catharsis as you enjoy some casual minigames...
Road 96 from DigixArt was one of last year’s biggest surprises for me. For a game centered around politics, it was far more intriguing than one would initially think. From displays of oppression, uprisings, and the people caught in the middle of it all, Road 96 was a game that...
When Octopath Traveler released back in 2018, it was an immediate hit. Fans were blown away by this love letter to classic JRPGs, with its striking blend of HD lighting and environments and 2D pixel art graphics. Sure, it had some issues, with some storylines not being as good as...
Trauma affects everyone at some point in their lives. There are a wide variety of traumatic situations that one could experience in their lifetime: domestic abuse, childhood neglect, drug addiction, an unexpected death, etc. The fact of the matter is that everyone, even those with a seemingly better lot in...
I’ve played a ton of point-and-click adventures over the years, but after a while, they tend to start blending together. One game that did not fall into obscurity in my mind was EggNut’s Backbone, which released in 2019. From its striking pixel art to its cliffhanger ending, Backbone is one...
Classic RPGs are one of my favorite types of games. I’m always on the lookout for a good old-school RPG to satisfy that nearly insatiable craving. I’ve played countless over the years, with most barely managing to leave their imprint on my memory. Fortunately, I’ve also been lucky enough to...
