Fictorum
Fictorum is a fantasy thought experiment of sorts. What if your character wasn’t forced to suffer through hours of tutorials, lessons and narrative checkpoints in order to become an all-powerful murder machine? What if you started the story at a point after all the training montages and spell upgrades? Why,...
Mega Man fans must be in the most curious conundrum these days. There hasn’t been a new title featuring the blue bomber in years, Capcom seemingly content to let the character rest on his laurels. Instead, we’ve gotten guest appearances in games like Super Smash Bros and Marvel vs Capcom,...
CastleStorm VR
If I was ever going to get into a tower defense game, it was going to be CastleStorm VR. Since the advent of the genre, I’ve never felt drawn in by the gameplay loop. Bringing the game into VR, however, provided me with some intriguing bait. I love VR. CastleStorm VR is a fun,...
Gigantic
Gigantic falls into the same category of MOBA as SMITE, of being third-person to pull you straight into the action instead of hovering above it all and clicking up a storm. But does it also have the same addictive gameplay that made me shun all my social obligations?
Archangel
VR is still getting its sea legs, so I’ve traditionally viewed VR games through a special lens. “Is this a great VR game? Or is this a great game?” Archangel is one that’s come the closest to bridging that divide for me, to be the sort of game I can...
Fortnite
When you mix Fallout 4’s sanctuary builder and third-person zombie wave defense, you get Epic Games’ delight creation, Fortnite. Not only does this 4-player cooperative experience handle smoothly with tight controls and a fun atmosphere, it also offers an endless loot train to pilfer from as you race to save...
The blending of two different things is always a risky proposition. Get it just right and each ingredient will enhance each other. Get it wrong and risk spoiling both. That is the risk that Ironward takes with Solstice Chronicles: MIA where they blend together twin-stick shooting with tactical game play....
Black the Fall
Black The Fall is a puzzle platformer which wears its influences on its sleeve. Many have been quick to point out its similarities to games like Inside and dismissed as being too similar to be relevant. However, much of the indie platformer scene is nipping at Playdead’s heals, so borrowing...
Lone Echo
We’ve all seen the movies – space is a scary place. Thanks to developer Ready At Dawn, now you can experience all the thrills of zero-gravity with none of the risks in the comfort of your home. With a gripping survival story and an unparalleled level of immersion, Lone Echo...
Pyre
I have a love/hate relationship with Supergiant Games. Alright, hate is too strong of a word, but Bastion definitely inspired some kind of loathing within me (directed both at myself and at the game) while Transistor was an ARPG tour de force in my eyes. With its slow start, Pyre...
It seems like nowadays every developer wants to make an open-world game. In the case of a studio like Guerrilla Games, a company previously known almost exclusively for the first-person shooter franchise Killzone, their foray into open-world games was this year’s Horizon: Zero Dawn, which has been one of the...
The game tasks you with building and sustaining a kingdom. You can select from any plot of land on the map to place your keep and get to work building your little polygonal society. When starting a new game you are given the option of playing with or without external...
