If you’re looking for a deep retelling of Naruto’s story, or new chapter in the saga all together, Shinobi Striker is not for you. In fact, there isn’t really a “story” at all. Instead, Shinobi Striker focuses on online multiplayer battles and a batch of unlockable solo missions. You get...
If you’ve had the fever for a great tycoon game in the vein of those 90s classics – especially Theme Hospital – then Two Point Studios has the cure. Taking all the best aspects of past titles and somehow making them even better, Two Point Hospital is a true delight...
Planet Alpha
I play many platforming games, and although I am terrible at landing in the right places and staying alive, there is a certain appeal to the challenge that I can’t quite put into words. When I first saw the trailer for Planet Alpha, I knew that I had to try...
F1 2018
The lifeblood of sports is the dawn of a new season. New players arrive on the scene. Rising stars are eager to resume their upward trajectory. The elite stand ready to reassert their dominance and take on all challenges – old and new. Yet at season opening, hope springs eternal....
Manual Samuel
One moment, I’m down in the splits because I couldn’t walk forward using my legs in the proper order, and the next I’m choking to death because I accidentally inhaled and swallowed water at the same time. No, I’m not talking about that time I got sloshed at my cousin’s...
Life is a stressful experience for pretty much everyone. It’s the reason for the massive scale and longevity of the entertainment industry, athletics, and, of course, games. There’s a wonderful sort of catharsis in channeling your stresses into a virtual world and leaving them there when you finally decide to...
It’s 1983, and you’re CIA…or KGB, depending on what kind of person you are. You look out into the world and you see dark forces threatening to turn the tide of evil. Only you have the espionage and tools to stop it. That’s right, you’re playing Phantom Doctrine, a spy...
We Happy Few
We Happy Few, from Compulsion Games, pretty much embodies the idea of “potential” – its dark atmosphere, mixed with its British humor and psychedelic aesthetic, have caught the eye of many a curious gamer ever since its earliest reveals. But that potential has not quite been realized thus far, as...
Detached
Attached to Detached’s gameplay but not the game. Detached is a split experience for it’s unique gameplay without very little in an actual game to back it up. I so wanted to love this game because it made one of those childhood dream experiences come true – spacewalking.
Slam Land
It’s tough to find great, competitive party games that satisfy both gamers and their less experienced friends, but indie developer Bread Machine Games accomplishes this wonderfully with its newest release: Slam Land. Slam Land is a multiplayer game that combines the brawling nature of Super Smash Bros. with the functionality...
Hack n’ slash games occupy a weird space in between several other, more modern genres. You have fighting game style action mixed in with a more traditional narrative structure and a long history of RPG elements. Code of Princess EX occupies this same weird space a bit more brazenly, even...
Get excited to unfurl your banner one more time. The Banner Saga is back, and it’s pretty much the same as it’s always been. And you know what? That’s a very good thing. The last entry in this tactical RPG trilogy doesn’t re-invent the wheel, but it tightens up the...
