Capes is an XCOM-style turn-based tactics superhero strategy game. Getselious likes Superheroes and RPGs! Is this match made in heaven, or will the villains have the final laugh? Capes is a fun and unique take on a new superhero type of game. It has similarities to Midnight Sun but has…
The time has finally come; Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is upon us. Being a fan of the first game, I couldn't wait to continue Senua's journey since this sequel was announced at the 2019 Game Awards, alongside the Xbox Series X console reveal. Senua's Saga: Hellblade II was initially marketed…
After trying out Amnesia Later x Crowd, I was very interested to see what type of add-on content they could add to the Cupid Parasite game in that same vein. Cupid Parasite: Sweet and Spicy Darling is similar but more than what Later x Crowd gave us. Game Name: Cupid…
When I first found out about Another Crab’s Treasure, I’ll be honest—I was put off by the game. It was too cutesy and a departure from the dystopian, desolate Soulslike games I was used to. There was no end of the world, no hollowing, nothing of the sort. Instead, you…
Samurai Warriors 4 has been released for years on consoles. A DX release was slated to be on the Nintendo Switch and even came out in Japan in 2019. This release is meant to have all the DLC from the console stores in one giant package. It never saw the…
If there’s one thing that can be said about Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, it’s that fans of role-playing games from the late 1990s will instantly connect with it. A lot of the same characteristics that made up the classics of the genre from that era are here in a big…

There’s a light charm to the classic 80s and 90s anime visual style that appeals to many anime fans, but it’s not something for everybody. And yet, something like that can be overlooked in a video game if everything about the gameplay excels in quality and fun. This is not…
In 2019, the world was introduced to a new game and character named Project Eve. Years went by, and eventually, the game resurfaced with a new name known as Stellar Blade. The game was also hit with controversy for being a PS5 console exclusive since the game was initially announced…
Pepper Grinder boldly defines short and sweet. This movement-forward, white-knuckle 2D platformer was impossible to put down—so impossible, in fact, that I ravenously finished it in two settings. With charming and detailed sprite work, a killer soundtrack, excellent movement, clever level design, challenging boss fights, and just the right amount…
After 12 years, we're being pulled back into the tale of stolen hearts and the dragons that accost them. Dragon's Dogma 2 is the sequel to Capcom's original RPG title. At times, I've always compared its action feel to some of its' beat-em-up category, such as the impressive Dungeons and Dragons:…
Konami's Contra series has been part of my gaming history for as long as I've played video games. I've played every Contra game across multiple platforms.
