Lost Ember
Do you care to go on an adventure? To explore a beautiful forest? Travel across the land in search of answers? To run through the grass? Swim through the river? Fly through the sky? Developed by Mooneye Studios, Lost Ember is a beautiful experience in both aesthetic and narrative form....
Mosaic
One of the rarest narratives in video games are the ones that disempower the player. Games are a form of escapism, power fantasies, it’s a world where we can feel like we are in control. In Mosaic, you play as a nobody, an insignificant employee of a gigantic corporation. No...
During my binge-watch of Narcos on Netflix, not once did I ever wish it was a video game. Some stories — in this case, the events of Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel — are simply better suited to certain mediums than others, and I was totally content with watching it all...
Planet Zoo
Maybe I’m just the worst zoo owner on the face of the Earth, or maybe this is just as common an experience for other players as it seems to be for me in Planet Zoo. You’ve got so many people to keep happy that often you have to make the...
There comes a time in every game’s life cycle when it undergoes some big changes. After some shedding, molting, and a little quality cocoon-time, every game makes the long journey to its final home on the Nintendo Switch. That time has finally arrived for Children of Morta, and it’s a...
On October 26, 2018 Rockstar Games released, or unleashed might be more appropriate, a digital experience in the guise of a game, Red Dead Redemption 2. The gaming world was left in awe for Rockstar released a game not only vast in scope but intricate in detail. Here was an...
Doraemon is a familiar anime character that you’ve definitely seen if you’ve been to an Asian night market, or explored many multicultural centers but if you go to Japan, Doraemon is a bit of an icon. The blue robotic cat is mistaken as multiple interpretations such as a bear, raccoon...
Afterparty
I couldn’t have known from the start but Afterparty is the perfect palette cleanser for any gamer that is starting to feel fatigued from this Fall’s biggest games. It’s rib-bustlingly hilarious with a truly imaginative version of Hell that must be seen to believe. Night School Studio, the developers behind...
With another Summer Olympics fast approaching next year, that means another installment of SEGA’s long-running Mario & Sonic Olympic game series. And Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 has a bit of special vibe to it, being in Japan and also the first title on the Switch....
Fans of H. P. Lovecraft, your day has come! Finally, a Lovecraftian RPG that honours cosmic horror from the pop-culture surface down to its historic core. Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones by Cultic Games is an exploratory game that is brave enough to take the player down an uncomfortable...
As one of the most depressing city-building games I have ever played, Frostpunk is a story of survival set in a time where an eternal winter takes over. With limited resources and a handful of people, you set out to unknown lands in hopes of finding installed generators where you...
MediEvil
For better or worse the ludicrously difficult, but way ahead of its time MediEvil has been remade from the ground up. This is one of the great PS1 classics, and the reason for that, and the reason it has endured all these years, is its excellent Halloweeny presentation. Imagine Tim...
