Unruly Heroes
Unruly Heroes is a fun action-platformer with a beautiful artstyle, solid puzzles, and a lighthearted sense of humor. However, one shouldn’t let its kid-friendly artstyle fool them: this game’s platforming challenges rival those found in other 2D indie platformers such as 2018’s Celeste.
Fans of puzzle games probably don’t need much of an introduction to the Puyo Puyo series, as it’s probably one of the most popular puzzle franchises that aren’t Tetris. Personally, my first Puyo Puyo experience was Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine – the American version of Puyo Puyo from the...
Have you ever thought to yourself, “The original Grand Theft Auto games were great, but what would make them better is modern graphics and destructible environments.” That’s all the introduction one needs for American Fugitive, the 3D top-down sandbox game from developer Fallen Tree Games that’s all about wreaking havoc...
There’s something about the long-running Atelier games from developer Gust and publisher Koei Tecmo that always has the same consistency throughout each title. While most JRPGs focus on a greater goal to save the world from some bad mojo, the Atelier games have scaled it back for its players for...
It is likely that you already know how you feel about Castlevania. After all, the original NES game came out in 1986, the same year as the original Super Mario Bros, and it is at least as ubiquitous. After all, Mario-like games are called platformers. Castlevania-like games are called Metroidvania,...
Darkwood
When I first started hearing rumblings about Darkwood — even as far back as its Steam Early Access days — I knew it was right up my alley. I like challenging games, especially ones that encourage experimentation with little to no tutorials. I also love survival horror games. Darkwood is...
When you think of point-and-click adventure games, you might recall classics like the Monkey Island series or Grim Fandango. The best of these games are equal parts fun, engaging, and challenging, while the less-than-stellar entries struggle to maintain a balance. A good point-and-click adventure game wins you over and lets...
Akane
Were you a fan of kung-fu movies growing up? Maybe the genre-defining cyberpunk classics like Blade Runner? There is something deeply satisfying about those ending scenes in the rain, surrounded by your enemies as you take your last stand, so why not play a game about just that? From developer...
Observation
During the five or so hours I spent playing through all of No Code’s narrative puzzle game Observation, I became really invested in the game’s compelling story. Due to excellent voice acting and gripping storytelling, I was always excited to find out what would happen next.
The popular digital card game, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission, finally made its way to North America this year with quality animation, Japanese-voiced characters, and English/French captions. With multiple modes of play, hundreds of cards to collect and plenty of fan service to please your inner otaku, Super Dragon...
Duck Game
My friends and I have a tradition of game nights leading back to when we were in high school. We are always on the lookout for good local multiplayer games for these occasions. Duck Game for the PC was one that a buddy of mine brought in. There is enough...
Developed by Asobo Studios – a studio most known for its work on Disney and Pixar games – A Plague Tale: Innocence is a stark departure from their previous ventures, delving into the story of a young girl and her sick little brother during the 100 Years War as they...
