To call time travel stories complicated is to label the ocean as damp. While this can be a cursed gift, sometimes there are real gems among the thumbtacks and red strings. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, the latest project from Vanillaware, pulls this off with easy grace. You are, almost at...
Unfortunately, the gameplay is a simple affair. There are puzzles, of course, but they’re few and far between, and in many cases repetitive. For every “how the hell do I infiltrate this building without being seen” there are five “match the pictures on your computer to the pictures on the...
Tell Me Why
It’s been days since I’ve finished Tell Me Why, from DONTNOD, but I’m still thinking about it. To answer your first question, no it’s not another Life is Strange game. But it could have been. It’s got a lot of the same aspects – a choice-based episodic story, duel protagonists,...
Fury Unleashed
Fury Unleashed is really just a simple game with simple controls, but it is unexpectedly hard. In fact, it’s very hard. But that doesn’t take away from the entertaining aspect of it, nor does it make you rage quit and never play it again. They’ve got the formula right for...
Ary and the Secret of Seasons is the tale of a defiant young girl who takes the fate of the world into her own hands when evil strikes. The daughter of a Guardian responsible for the security and status quo of the winter region of Valdi, Aryelle must harness the...
Have you found yourself upset as of late with mainstream soccer games? No one would blame you. Fifa and Pro Evolution have become stagnant. For the past several iterations, both franchises have failed to see any real, significant, change. Thus, it’s hard not to look at them and feel as...
Project CARS 3
I approached Project CARS 3 as an opportunity to shake off the rust of driving games and get behind the wheel once more to test my skills. It had been a long time since I sat in the virtual driver’s seat and careened across the pavement, and Project CARS 3...
The glitz and glamor of being a real pirate seems to be, at one time or another, every kid’s dream. But what if you could go on an adventure to not only meet some pirates but also solve a decade long mystery and see what piracy looks like in the...
I love when developers switch up the norms of typical rhythm games and combine them with elements of a different genre, like The Metronomicon or Crypt of the NecroDancer. So you can imagine I was excited to hear about a new action-oriented title that would take the idea of beat...
It was probably a cold day in the winter of 1982 when Microsoft shared with the world its first Flight Simulator. It was a technical demonstration of what a modern CPU could do at the time, future facing it would also highlight where we could go.
Mortal Shell
Dark Souls has cast a long shadow over the gaming world. Ever since its release in 2011, players and developers alike have been chasing that blissful high. Now, in this cursed year of 2020, I posit that we’re allowed to move on. No one’s making us re-skin and re-ship this...
What’s interesting about Banner of the Maid is that it’s nothing you would expect at first. It is a game with cute anime-style characters, voiced in Chinese, subtitled in English, and based on the historical events that took place around the French Revolution in the late 18th to early 19th...
