NBA 2K20
To call NBA 2K20‘s last weeks before its launch “rocky” is a mammoth-sized understatement. In a world where governments are punishing loot boxes and consumers are outright denouncing shady monetization schemes in games, 2K’s brand new sports title debuted with a trailer blatantly showcasing casino-themed gambling mechanics was a move...
I can’t think of any other way to start off this review for Creature in the Well other than saying that this is a very unique game. Yet at the same time, it’s not the first pseudo-metroidvania with pinball elements I’ve played in the past few years, that other game...
Down to Hell is, unfortunately, putting me in a situation that I don’t typically like to be in or like to put indies in. When I got the review code, which I’m always grateful for, it was clear that Down to Hell was an Early Access Steam game and that the...
WRC 8
Sometimes I think I make too many comparisons between games in my reviews, but it’s impossible to talk about WRC 8 without mentioning its main rivals, Dirt Rally 2.0 and the big fat dead horse that is V-Rally 4. Hell, even the publisher acknowledges that one of WRC 8‘s biggest...
I first played Trover Saves the Universe last year at Brasil Games Show and hated my experience with it. It’s not that the game was bad or anything, but the staff handling the Playstation booth had the excellent idea of putting this VR-focused, dialogue-heavy game on a non-VR booth with...
We’ve seen a lot of games clearly influenced by Stephen King being released lately, especially those revolving around groups of kids tackling the supernatural. The Stranger Things game is an obvious example, as well as RAD, even though the Stephen King influences in it are a lot more subtle and...
Catherine is a puzzle platforming game that was originally released in 2011. It gained a large following and received a lot of praise for its puzzle designs, weird story, mature themes, and the fact it was designed by the same people who went on to design Persona 5. Trying to...
I was expecting for French developer Le Cartel Studio’s follow-up to Mother Russia Bleeds to be something as gory, violent, and over-the-top, but I guess I was wrong. The talented Parisian lads have just proven how versatile and imaginative they are by coming up with something on the completely opposite...
One thing me and my colleague, Heidi Hawes, share in common is our disdain towards the only Kirby game available on the Switch, Kirby Star Allies. It was voted by us both as one of the worst games from 2018. So far, the Switch doesn’t have a good Kirby game and...
Control
One of my favorite games on Xbox 360 was Remedy’s Alan Wake. It didn’t have the same gameplay and action as a Max Payne, but I was drawn into the character and the world almost immediately. Both the protagonist and myself trying to piece together the sci-fi mystery of the...
I’ve been keeping an eye on Decay of Logos ever since I found out about its announcement. It looked like a neat mix between the gameplay found in Dark Souls and the world and aesthetics from The Legend of Zelda, all wrapped up in a surprisingly affordable indie package. Knowing...
When new tech comes along there is always a transitional period where developers are still trying to work out the kinks. Figuring out how to maximize the hardware, and especially in VR’s case, how to properly track and provide immersion. With the launch of PSVR it’s nice to see it...
