Who would have expected that Soulslike would just become its own genre? At this point we have the likes of Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and now Another Crab’s Treasure, which is easily the cutest of all of them. The basic premise is that Kril, the titular crab,...
Back in the day, I used to think that Braid was overrated as hell. The short duration and simplistic gameplay didn’t exactly captivate me back in my teen years, so I had never given the game that much credit, even though it was basically the game that kickstarted the indie...
This is a very odd release. No, I’m not mentioning this is a crappy drop by Koei Tecmo or anything like that. I can already inform you that, just like any other Musou game made by Omega Force (well, aside from the horrendous Dynasty Warriors 9), Samurai Warriors 4 DX...
I really like when Nightdive just randomly announces they are remastering a game like half a dozen people had played in the past. PO’ed is a clear example of this practice. It’s a first-person shooter originally released on the 3DO. Yep, the 3DO. The console known for Gex, Plumbers Don’t...
I think that a good chunk of the discourse surrounding Animal Well is being directed towards the owner of its publisher, the one and only Jason “Videogamedunkey” Gastrow, and not the star of the show, sole developer Billy Basso. Whilst I will commend Dunkey on his brand new venture, with...
I feel I need to learn not to underestimate a genre just because of its sheer market saturation. Right at the beginning of the year, I was complaining about the excessive amount of roguelikes out in the market, and how they weren’t pushing the genre or the industry forward in...
It’s been quite a while since the last good round-based Zombies mode in Call of Duty. Vanguard introduced zombies with miniguns for some reason, while Modern Warfare 3 ditched the round idea entirely to really advertise WarZone to a bunch of people that are going out of their way to buy...

There’s something so satisfying about combining genres that really shouldn’t be compatible together. Games like 2022’s stellar Neon White successfully combined a visual novel into a deck-building first-person shooter. When it works, it’s magnificent, as you get a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Or what about Hades taking a narrative-driven approach to...
There has been a large resurgence of metroidvania’s lately, and to be honest, I’m here for it. We’ve been getting fantastic games like Blasphemous 2, Metroid Dread, Ender Lilies, and even larger publishers are getting in on it with the recent Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Now EA is stepping up to...
If I told you I’m well-versed into the world of Endless Ocean, I’d be lying. I had never played a game in this franchise prior to tackling Endless Ocean Luminous. It took me a while even to realize this was actually a Nintendo joint in the first place. That being...
So far it’s looking like a good year to be a fan of Demon Slayer. Between the release of the new arc in film and TV format, and the release of a new game, we’re eating well. When it comes to a new Demon Slayer game, I think most people...
I have never played the original Outcast, or its remake, in the past, but I do recognize its important influence in gaming as a whole, as it essentially paved the way for the modern approach to the open-world action-adventure genre, something so common and mainstream nowadays. I do find it...
