There is always great joy in compelling science fiction mysteries. Uncovering the unknown is something that video games do well, even in the walking simulator genre. Games like SOMA have stuck with me for years, thanks to a compelling narrative, even if it ended up lacking in gameplay. Unfortunately, The...
Some may deem this next statement blasphemous, but I reckon that Inti Creates has more than earned the label of Metroidvania savant. Just take a gander at their catalog. It’s thanks to that pedigree that whenever news from them show up, I freak. Having grown during an era when Mega...
Jusant
Jusant: “An ebb, or low tide.” The world of Jusant is a world-event apocalyptic one. With no rain and its oceans now dried out, you and your pet-like companion journey the expansive seabed, passing forgotten wreckages on your approach to a literal cliffside fishing village. Jusant is very much, for...
It amazes me how the borderline industrial output of Yakuza/Like a Dragon games does not generate fatigue. Despite having played more than a dozen games in the franchise over the past six years or so, I keep asking for more, and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio rarely disappoints. Like a Dragon...
Invincible was an unexpected delight when it first aired back in 2021. Based off the graphic novel series from Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, Invincible is an animated series for adults centered around the teenage son of the world’s strongest superhero, Omni-Man. From complex characters, to vulgar humor,...
“It’s not a lake, it’s an ocean” are the words that have been in the heads of Alan Wake fans for years. Remedy’s 2010 action-horror masterpiece delivered one of the wildest and most compelling mysteries. It ended on a cliffhanger that needed a follow-up. Alan Wake 2 has been an...
Alien Hominid HD wasn’t the only release by The Behemoth this November. In fact, the re-release of its 2004 flagship title was actually more of a complimentary piece of content to accompany what was the company’s actual main dish for the year: an actual new Alien Hominid game… sort of....
You can say a lot of things about GameMill’s recent output of licensed games, but when it comes to their Nickelodeon titles, they usually improve upon their predecessors based on carefully listening to fan feedback. Nickelodeon Kart Racers was crap, but its sequel fixed pretty much every single complaint, becoming...
Air Twister
Shenmue III was a bitter pill to swallow for people waiting for that damn game to come out for the previous decade and a half, but also an even harder pill to swallow for its creator, Yu Suzuki. After more than a decade outside of the gaming industry, the once...
I started paying extra attention to Polish developer Teyon after enjoying their take on the Terminator franchise. Terminator: Resistance wasn’t amazing, but considering the team’s limitations, it was pretty good. It showcased Teyon’s talent with making licensed games with limited budgets. So I was wondering what Teyon would be able...
I had no idea what I was going to be encountering when I picked up Fashion Dreamer towards the end of last week. My first time hearing about it was during a recent Nintendo Direct, and it looked…well, it looked okay. It seemed like an intriguing concept, and my wife...
Recency bias is a double edged sword, and that’s none more apparent than with Nintendo’s newest release WarioWare: Move It. It was only a couple of years back that Nintendo Switch players got WarioWare: Get It Together to less than glorious fanfare. While I understand what Nintendo was attempting to...
