LEGO Worlds
Lego Worlds brings the open world building of Minecraft to a more creative place. As a fan of previous Lego games I wanted to see how well an open world sandbox building game would play out in the world of Lego, and the results are pretty interesting! There are some...
There were several moments during my playthrough of Styx: Shards of Darkness that felt as if the game was going out of its way to frustrate me. At its core, Styx wants to be a pure stealth game akin to the old Thief series, with every level designed around sneaking from...
Imagine if Superbad, Twin Peaks, and Animal Farm had a baby. That’s what Night in the Woods would look like, and it’s that good. The game follows Mae as she moves back to her hometown of Possum Springs because she has decided that college isn’t for her (and for other reasons...
Like many others, I remember Bomberman fondly as a hectic multiplayer experience that centers around defeating your enemies with bombs. You can imagine my excitement when I found out a new Bomberman title was making its way alongside the Nintendo Switch launch. Enter Super Bomberman R. What does the R...
Zombie Vikings
Zombie Vikings is a bit of a Frankenstein’s Monster in terms of theme and humor, but it nails the important stuff. Tight controls, couch co-op, and an assortment of weapons awaits in this brawler from Zoink Games.
The Atelier series recently just began its current “mysterious” ark with Atelier Sophie back in June 2016 – you can check out our review for it here. While it packed some changes, tweaks, and updates to its staple formula, they were changes that would either agitate or entertain returning fans...
The original Psychonauts released in 2005, and its zany art-style, on top of what seemed like a ridiculous story, didn’t catch my interest at the time. With the announcement of Psychonauts 2, I still had no plans to jump into Double Fine’s cult-hit franchise. It is surprising then that Psychonauts...
The Legend of Zelda series is one I’ve always been fond of, less so for the stories (though some of them are great, too) but more so for the gameplay, puzzles, and sense of wonder. These aspects are especially prevalent in the original Legend of Zelda on NES as well...
8Days
From Spanish developers Santa Clara Games, 8DAYS is a dual-stick shooter that centers around the events of Lola “Wasp” and Mike “Ghost”, although the game’s narrative is more mature than it may sound. 8DAYS features fast-paced gameplay and incredibly difficult scenarios that, for the most part, combine to deliver incredibly...
Uncanny Valley
I really wanted to like Uncanny Valley. Most of what it offers — a survival horror, narrative-driven adventure with retro visuals — are all attributes that appeal to me. It’s a shame then just how it all comes together, or rather how it tries to. Uncanny Valley has branching paths...
Ride 2
I mentioned previously the Ride 2 gives you chance to ride in style, and that’s because the amount of customization in this game is staggering. Ride 2 features over 200 bike models, over 1200 customizable parts, and over 600 different liveries that can help you create your dream bike or...
There have been a lot of non-Dynasty Warriors Musou games released by Koei Tecmo in the last couple of years. For those of us that don’t care so much about Chinese history, but do care about franchises like The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest, and Attack on Titan, Koei Tecmo...
