Morphite
Exploring the galaxy means many things to many different people. Are you seeking out wonder, awe, bloody conquest or total harmony? Maybe you want none of these things. Maybe you just want to relax, to lose yourself in the peaceful rhythms of a pastel, low-poly universe. If for some reason,...
Splasher
The beauty of Splasher is that it let me paint the walls red without a Mature rating. Fortunately, the game offers even more than that and surprised me with the level of creativity involved. I want to say it reminded me of Splatoon, but that’s only because of the clever use...
If I was to refer to 2017 as the re-age, I think we could all come to a consensus that it’s a fairly accurate statement. Remaster, reimagining, reboot, remake, however, you want to put it, it’s become the new status quo. Case in point, the movie It, a remake of...
For three titles now, the Dishonored franchise has portrayed a world of rampant greed that hides behind velvet and brass. The corrupt elite, they dress like royalty and sit in high towers, far away from the festering muck below. While Dishonored and Dishonored 2 gave the player a chance to...
Figment
When you first hop into the world of Figment, you’re delving into someone’s mind. While this world space may be reminiscent of other modern isometrics like Bastion, it’s completely unique in its portrayal, and quite beautiful too. There’s something off about this place, but it’s still a place of pleasant...
If there’s one thing I’ve grown to appreciate more since owning a Switch is that it’s becoming the perfect platform for independent games. Games that I barely gave a quick glance at on PS4 and Xbox One are somehow getting significantly more playtime on my Switch. I’m almost positive it...
NBA Live 18
Following a two-year development cycle, EA is back on the court with the return of their once renowned basketball franchise in NBA Live 18. There’s no denying the competition EA has faced with the growing popularity of NBA 2K, and while the new features within NBA Live 18 certainly help...
Source. The energy used to conjure life and command the elements, Source is a powerful and dangerous skill to master. Those who control it, Sourcerers, have been outlawed, as the use of their power beckons the coming of the Voidwoken, creatures of the darkness. By decree of the Empire, Sourcerers...
Marvelous Entertainment has graced us with yet another entry in the Senran Kagura series, aka Shinobi Girls with Impossible Boobs. Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash dares to ask the hard-hitting questions. How important is plot? How thin can you stretch it while still claiming your game has a plot at all?...
Anyone who glanced at the VR library will know the platform is overflowing with wave shooters — many of which are rather forgettable. With Blasters of the Universe, Secret Location attempts to give new life to the tired formula of VR shooters by cranking everything, from visuals to gameplay, up...
Destiny 2
In 2014, Destiny 1’s launch lit the world on fire. To this day, it stands as one of the most hyped video game releases I’ve ever been a part of. I had a great deal of fun shooting countless aliens while collecting loads of loot across the galaxy with my...
Inspired by Steven Wilson’s haunting “Drive Home“, Last Day of June explores this line of questioning as it tells a heartfelt story about loss and the acceptance of it. These themes are steeped in every aspect of the game, from the visuals, dream-like and haunting, to the gameplay itself, as Carl...
