At a time when we eagerly anticipate the next big title to dump hundreds of hours of our lives into, it is always refreshing to come across those little gems full of life and a modest play time. Those games that want to tell you a story without the complexity...
Neon Chrome
It’s nice and refreshing to get a roguelite that is actually engaging, fun, and has a wall you can throw yourself at until it crumbles. In Neon Chrome, you can expect hours of chaotic and destructive fun as you fight your way up a series of floors on your quest...
I’ve been a big proponent of re-releases since they allow a new generation of gamers to check out some of the best games of yesteryear. That said, Dead Island was never an amazing game when it released in 2011, instead it was an exceptionally buggy action game with plenty of...
Overwatch
Rarely does a game live up to its hype. I had been skeptical for a long time now about just how good Overwatch was going to be. It seemed good and Blizzard has had a great record for making incredibly detailed and polished games, but most of the games they’ve...
Gone are the days of throwing historical factions at one another. No longer will I be pitting Samurai against one another. No longer will I be sending my Spartans to push back the encroaching Egyptian forces. Instead, I now pit humankind as a whole against the gnashing, “WAAAAGH”-ing hordes of...
Shadow of the Beast had its start as an old Amiga title way back in the day, and admittedly, it’s a game that has not aged well and is also a bit polarizing. Some hold the old title incredibly close to their childhood, while others may be more critical. That also...
Homefront: The Revolution has a handful of good ideas, and some of them are actually executed well. But none of that matters when the game constantly runs at 25 FPS (PS4) and the gun controls are truly abysmal. The Revolution is a quasi-reboot to 2011’s Homefront, with developer Deep Silver...
Once in a while, I play an MMO that completely consumes my existence. It’s usually the games that offer deep customization and intriguing end-game content that seem to suck me in. I had no trouble paying monthly for this kind of gaming experience, then along came DC Universe Online (DCUO)...
Battleborn
Gameplay in Battleborn is the real meat so it needs to engaging and rewarding. I can safely check the engaging box but I feel hesitant to check off rewarding. I have a lot of fun playing Battleborn, something I often take for granted on highly competitive games where progression up...
Coffin Dodgers
With a name like Coffin Dodgers one would expect the type of laughs the game will invoke but if you’re like me and enjoy that tongue-in-cheek humour then that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s the gameplay and graphics which bog down the overall experience. Whether we like it or...
After playing the first Azkend game on my android I was interested to see how the second one played on the Xbox One. The original Azkend was fun, but simple, and I hoped Azkend 2: The World Beneath would be a bit more complex. Thankfully it is, bringing more to the...
Alienation
In the last several decades, Aliens have been secretly invading Earth. During the invasion, local governments have done their best to keep it quiet – instead of working together – until it was too late. What remains of humanity has unified under the UNX in an attempt to combat the...
