I love it when newer horror games really delve into the genre’s past, bringing modern improvements and taking the more hardcore design philosophy that really defined the genre. Games like Signalis, Crow Country or even the original Tormented Souls really brought their own twist to what was once a perceiving...
The resurgence of the beat-em-up in the last few years is so damn refreshing for adolescent me. Even though the graphics, techniques and boss difficulties have improved a lot since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, there’s still the core idea of raging on a group of baddies (or...
I was too young to fully appreciate Chicken Run back when it was first released. At the age of eight, I wasn’t able to enjoy the effort put into its art style, as well as its homage to classic stealth movies and its dry, witty British humor. Just like most...
For the past twenty years, arcade parlors, laundromats and bowling alleys have featured countless Fast & Furious arcade cabinets. I am 100% sure you’ve seen one of those before, and I bet you’ve played them, like, once. To be honest, even though they were developed by Eugene Jarvis, the man...
Arkanoid. Those autoscroller games available on mobile that infest my Instagram and Youtube feeds. The city building bit from ActRaiser. Roguelikes. Those four elements have absolute nothing in common, at least on paper. I never thought a game featuring all of these bits mixed in a blender would ever exist,...
“How about a puzzle game about not wanting to sit next to certain people” is likely how to pitch for Is This Seat Taken? started. This game is exactly that, a puzzle game trying to find where everyone is meant to be put, whether it’s at a concert, on a...

Gambling is one of those things where I can’t tell if there actually is skill beyond a handful of games or if it’s just luck and wealth manifest. Oh sure, there are people who used to walk away from the casinos with hundreds of thousands in their pockets, but how...
Well, it’s the fall season again, so what better time to settle in to a nice, cozy game about log cabins? Sounds nice and relaxing, right? Well, what if I told you these weren’t your typical mountain getaway cabins, but rather cabins commissioned to appear sinister for films and Halloween...
When I reviewed the first Pac-Man World remake, 2022’s Pac-Man World: Re-Pac, I found it to be a competent remake of a cult classic that, whilst loved by a lot of people due to nostalgia, isn’t and has never particularly been a groundbreaking title in the platforming genre. What I...
The last few Nickelodeon-themed games published by GameMill have been impressive surprises, especially when it comes to their take on the karting genre, but I never thought I’d ever play a Nickelodeon-themed action RPG inspired by Diablo and Path of Exile, and for said game to end up being, like,...
I’ve mentioned in the past that Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is not only one of the best games from the past decade in my opinion, but easily one of the best and most underrated JRPGs of all time. It fills my heart with joy to see that, at least nowadays,...
