Gift of Parthax, the new 2-D action-arena game developed by Foldergeist Studies, revolves around a young wizard whose friend Veleus has been cursed by the mage Parthax. With a pixelated art style reminiscent of games of yore, this brawler drew me in through its simple and promising premise and brings...
Gaming in VR can be physically taxing. Your arms tire from holding up the controllers, and your body too from moving around, at which point you’ll want to take a break. But with Creed: Rise to Glory, though I was already exhausted after just two fights, I found myself pushing...
Last month we got a glimpse at the first chapter of Star Control: Origins. With some great voice acting and some interesting possibilities that preview gave, there was reason to be hopeful that the resurrection of the series would be a good one. Interestingly enough, it’s the second long-dormant series...
NASCAR Heat 3
The latest racing sim from Monster Games, and the third in their recent Nascar series has arrived in Nascar Heat 3 as they hope gain some real traction in the genre. Admittedly it’s been years since I picked up a racing simulator, I’m looking at you Gran Turismo 4, and...
In modern gaming, there are few figures more decisive than David Cage, creator of Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. The French game designer comes with a lot of baggage, but his experimental style and obsession with independent cinema make his games singularly unique. Enter Chris Darril, a young Italian...
Transference
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in partnership with Elijah Wood and his production company, SpectreVision, Transference is sure to receive massive attention on those names alone. And it doesn’t just make for great marketing – the power of such a collaboration is evident in every moment. Most notable is the seamless...
CrossCode
CrossCode is an RPG that demands your full attention at every turn. Whether it’s solving puzzles, completing quests or surviving the many battles, you need to be on your toes. Honestly, it’s exhausting. But I don’t mind the strain. Indeed, I’d rather more RPGs pushed me in this fashion. Perhaps...
Do you remember that friend from your childhood? If you need a reminder, they are the one you made at camp that summer, or the kid you laughed with during swimming lessons, or the one who transferred from your school one year. The Gardens Between tells the story of best...
Boundless
I generally like sandbox games. I don’t love them, but I like the idea of having control of what I can build or do. Yet sometimes a game becomes a little too ambitious and doesn’t always give you enough toys to play within the sandbox. Boundless is a recent entry...
Lots of us have great memories of our childhood. Drinking from the hose, staying up past curfew, playing in the summer sun. All of these activities and more encapsulated my childhood. What happens when we look back at our youth through the eyes of a nightmare? PLAYMIND’s game The Inner...
NBA Live 19
The NBA Live series has come a long way since its foray into the current generation, and NBA Live 19 is no different in its improvements. Much like fans of NBA Live 19 cover athlete, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid, fans of the series have been trusting the process and...
NBA 2K19
NBA 2K19 captures the essence of basketball perfectly. Going up for a thunderous slam dunk fires me up, draining that last second three to win a big game exhilarates and winning a hard-earned NBA championship feels like an accomplishment. The problem with NBA 2K19 lies everywhere else, the game constantly...
