The Nintendo Switch has essentially turned into the primary home of indie games, especially indie roguelites. With popular series like Hades, and Dead Cells playing as smoothly as they do, and Exit the Gungeon being, surprisingly, an exclusive for Switch, it’s no surprise that this is essentially what the console...
A few years back, players were met with a Kickstarter campaign for a JRPG under the name of Eiyuden Chronicle. It was met with resounding success, thanks in part to the pedigree of the development team behind it. As it reached the funding goal, many stretch goals were outlined, and...
We’re heading into dangerous territory again as a gaming nation. I grew up in a time where every IP on the planet thought that publishing a video game was the path to untold riches, as the logic was “kids are stupid and they will play anything.” Now, I’m not saying...
Trek to Yomi
I used to think I knew what to expect from a game published by Devolver. For the most part, they are focused on high-octane gameplay, with addictive loops and a distinctive sense of humor I can only call “Devolverish”. If you’ve played games like Death’s Door, My Friend Pedro, Shadow...
There’s something to be said for the B movies of the 60s and 70s. You can easily look at the schlock on screen, the overacting and piss-poor special effects, and simply pan the whole era as being “experimental film with no taste.” Yet it’s the over-the-top nature of rubber monsters,...
Godlike Burger
What would happen if you combined a restaurant management game like Overcooked and added a little bit of Hitman to the mix? Yes, you read that right: Hitman. Well, you end up getting something like Godlike Burger, a game equally about building up your restaurant whilst also silently killing people...
I tend to prefer action games over so-called walking simulators, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the latter when a developer comes up with a really innovative idea to take advantage of its narrative-driven structure. Case and point, The Stanley Parable. I’m not going to beat around the bush:...
A survival game set in the depths of an Amazonian forest sounds like a perfect game for VR, right? Green Hell is the latest game full console game that has made a transition over to the VR space. Initially launching in 2019, after a year long run in early access,...
One of the biggest reasons I loved becoming an adult was removing the need to do busywork or unnecessary research for things I wasn’t passionate about. Once I got to university, suddenly I was only studying what I wanted to study. If I was curious about a thing, I could...
MotoGP 22 is probably the best MotoGP game I have ever played. That might be shocking to hear, especially if you, like myself, think most of these games are basically to motorbike racing what FIFA games are to football. As in, the same damn thing year after year, but with...
Be careful what you wish for. I was really looking forward to what was going to be Aspyr’s next Star Wars-related release on the Switch, and was craving for the announcement of a remaster to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, one of the most iconic games in the franchise in...
I’ve been a Destiny player since its initial launch way back in 2014. It’s been a flawed but highly entertaining few years that have had incredible highs seen in The Taken King and Forsaken. For every action, there was also a reaction: We may have had these great highs, but...
