It seems like every two years we’re given another Agatha Christie game. Surprisingly, for taking such beloved characters and brilliant source material, the majority of the games we’ve gotten have been mediocre at best, such as Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders and Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot – The First Cases....
Digital Eclipse has seemingly graduated from just doing (excellent) remaster collections. Last year’s Atari 50 felt like a new chapter in the company’s history, being more than just a bunch of updated ROMs in a cheap package. It was a virtual tour, a documentary, a museum which both entertaining and...
It feels quite odd that a game like Deadlink, a game with impressive production values and one of the hottest settings in modern gaming right now (an environment so clearly influenced by the overall Cyberpunk world and lore), hasn’t managed to garner much of an impression, being released to little...
I am possibly one of, like, six people who had never played Red Dead Redemption prior to the re-release of the game on more modern platforms. As a result, these new ports did look interesting at first glance, at least to me. I even had a sizeable amount of cashback...
Sprawl
As a wise man named DJ Khaled once said, “another one”. Upon hearing about SPRAWL, I nearly wanted to roll my eyes and just say that this was going to be yet another retro-styled first-person shooter (or “boomer shooter”, a term I loathe), the sixth or seventh game in the...
After a bit of trouble, which resulted in a small, last minute delay, WrestleQuest is finally launching. From my understanding, the delay was a result of cross-save issues on one of the consoles it’s launching on, and seeing as it’s launching everywhere, even Netflix, your guess is as good as...
Blasphemous was the surprise hit of 2019, impressing both critics and players in equal measure. By combining the exploration style of metroidvanias with the brutal combat of soulslikes, it answered the prayers of many gamers the world over. Its visceral, gothic setting and rich lore left many fans clamoring for...
Remnant II
When it was released in 2019, Remnant: From The Ashes was a flawed, but incredibly successful soulslike. Instead of simply copying the popular genre, Gunfire Games decided to do something different by turning the genre on its head and focusing more on gunplay. It’s also a game I’ve revisited on...
Gord
It feels like the initial announcement of Gord had happened nearly half a decade ago. Maybe it’s just my post-pandemic brain blurring the concept of time as we know it, but I’ve been keeping an eye on this game for a while. Why wouldn’t I? I love me a good...
Venba
I first saw Visai Games’ Venba during Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase in late 2022. As someone who loves to cook, part of what grabbed my attention was the cooking simulation element of the game. However, that’s a very small part of what piqued my interest. What really got me eager...
Flutter Away
I have talked about how games don’t necessarily need to be fun to be considered good in the past. I have lavished games like The Last of Us Part II and The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante, but even those games knew how to deliver in terms of emotions,...
