I have a serious love for Metroidvania games, but the biggest issue with talking about them is the fact there are just simply so many. Anyone you talk to could have played 100 different Metroidvanias, and still have no mutual games with you. Especially with the hype behind games like...
I may not be a big fan of the last mainline Persona game as most of my colleagues (Persona 4 is my real boo), but I’d have to be a madman if I said I didn’t enjoy its style and didn’t respect the hell out of it. The announcement of...
I’m more than used to seeing Microids release games based on European cartoons and comic book franchises, but I never thought they’d ever make a game based on a 1991 French novel about… ants. To make matters more amusing, I wasn’t expecting for the game, aptly named Empire of the...
Back in 2020, I had a legitimately fun time playing the first Microsoft Flight Simulator to be released on consoles, even though I’m not a big fan of these kinds of simulators. It was one of the surprise hits of the year, a brief glimpse of joy and escapism during...
Europa
Sometimes you just want to pick up a game and shut your brain off. Hence why games like Abzu, A Short Hike, and Journey are so popular. Europa instantly grabbed my attention thanks to its beautiful Breath of the Wild inspired art style, exploration-based gameplay, and promises of a captivating narrative. All...
It’s that time of year again; the time that everyone decides to take time off work, skip school, or ignore loved ones. That’s right, it’s Call of Duty time and the series returns with Black Ops 6. Although it’s been a few years since the Black Ops series has popped...
The announcement of Metal Slug Tactics felt so weird, but at the same time, it felt so… right. Even though the franchise is known as basically the best run-and-gun arcade platformer franchise of all time (I’m sorry Contra, but you ain’t got no chance here), turning the franchise’s war-like loop...
Somebody’s favorite game, of all time, is Glover. Yes, the 1998 Nintendo 64 title that got remade into a middling PC port a couple years back sits atop someone’s list for the GOAT platformer. There could be any number of reasons for this (TBI, parents are both gloves, etc.), but...
Tetris Forever
If anyone asks me which game I consider to be the best and most important of all time, I won’t give Super Mario Bros, Pong, or Ocarina of Time as answers. In my humble opinion, there’s no choice other than Tetris. Just like how Taron Egerton said in his cheesy...
I think that the history of the troubled development of Shadows of the Damned is almost more famous than the game itself. When it was first announced, many years ago, it seemed like the perfect kind of game. Shinji Mikami was still being lauded for his work on Resident Evil...
When A Quiet Place was released back in 2018, it was actually considered to be a genuine breath of fresh air in the horror movie sphere. For once, it was a genuinely well-written story, with deep characters, and an actually scary threat, which made you tense from the moment the...
Very often, it bothers me when people recommend going into a game blind. The concept is clear: you want to make sure someone experiences a grand, epic revelation without spoilers or another person’s influence. But some people need to at least have a rudimentary idea of what to expect when...
