Playing Ghost of Tsushima has been a dizzy dance of expectations versus reality. At so many separate junctions, I’ve slammed into what I wanted to happen, blindsided by the actual events. This game wears the fresh skin of an open world RPG, one crammed full of crafting, karmic choices, and...
Originally released in 2011, Catherine became a cult classic due to its oddities and innovation. Part visual novel and part block puzzler, gamers fell head over heels for Catherine. With several new additions and improvements, Atlus has released Catherine: Full Body, but will this be a loving stroll down memory...
Night Call
Night Call is a fantastic noir-esque game where you take on the role of a Parisian taxi driver who is investigating a serial killer mystery on the side. With your friendly persona and a knack for getting your passengers to pour their hearts out, your goal is to drive them...
Serving as both a prequel and sequel to its predecessor, you take the role of the original protagonist, Agent York, and new addition, Agent Davis. Told in a non-linear manner, Deadly Premonition switches from past and present throughout the well-executed narrative. As York, you investigate the 2005 murder of Lise...

While the colours have always been bright and the characters have always been charming, Wayforward continues...
Disintegration
Disintegration is the latest effort by the Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto and his new development team V1 Interactive. They set out with a lofty goal of trying to create an entirely new genre of game, like a souls-like of sorts (Disintegration-like? We’ll work on it). This ambitious mash-up of real-time-strategy...
Atomicrops
Atomicrops is almost what you’d get if you crossed Stardew Valley with Enter the Gungeon. You cultivate your land and plant crops that hum and sing as they sprout. You acquire farm animals to roam around your untamed pasture overwhelmed with weeds. You can marry a partner, or two, if...
Skelattack
Most metroidvania games are all about exploration and a slowly rising power level that eventually smacks of godhood. Skelattack is a slightly different beast. This game is in the business of killing you, and business is booming. There’s a death counter I stopped paying attention to after it hit 150,...
My first introduction to Real Time Strategy (RTS) games was 1992s – Dune II. Any limitations of PC technology at the time were overcome by my imagination fueled by Frank Herbert’s novels. Having cut their teeth with RTS, developer Westwood Studios then turned their attention to creating a wholly new...
