Something about a cool looking stylized first person shooter always pulls me in. Fast paced twitch shooting married with over the top horror enemies and a cool ass art design will get me every time. Games like Into the Pit and BPM or less horror but still showcasing cool design like Bright Memory: Infinite and...
The video game world is not a binary place of winners and losers. Whenever a title launches, critics like to dub it with ridiculous monikers like “The God of War killer” or “The Resident Evil rival.” But multiple games for similar/same genres can coexist peacefully, often without impacting the community...
Stegosoft is a relatively new indie developer, with their first project, Ara Fell, being first released in 2016 and was met with general favorable reviews. I was fortunate enough to be able to play Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition when it came out in March of 2020, which fixed many of...
When it was first released back in 2014, the original Dying Light was a breath of fresh air for the survival horror genre, with some exciting new ideas that made for a unique and epic open world zombie slasher, combining Mirror’s Edge parkour with a Far Cry-esque open world to...
The year has barely started, but Atari has already decided to grace us with, yet again, a title from their Recharged retro revival series. They have done everything from Asteroids to Missile Command. Considering the fact that Pong has received a non-Recharged spinoff with RPG elements, the one meaningful franchise...
I wasn’t one of those people who played OlliOlli back when it first came out almost eight years ago, but I did eventually give the franchise a try, and for the most part, I enjoyed it. I just thought it suffered a bit from a lack of focus of sorts....

Way back in 2017, a little studio called Sloclap partnered up with Devolver Digital to release Absolver: a martial arts-oriented game that featured phenomenal controls, but not a lot to do within it. What mattered most was that Sloclap proved they had the chops to create a fun martial arts...
When I started playing Final Fantasy XIV back in 2019, I wasn’t actually initially hooked. I wasn’t really an MMO player, and A Realm Reborn was kind of a sluggish bore for a good chunk of its run. But I persevered because I did like parts of the story, and...
Don’t expect for me to talk about my prior experience with the Record of Lodoss War franchise, because honestly, I still have no clue what the hell this series is about. All I know about it is that there was a game released for the Dreamcast back in the day....
One of the reasons why I love the Nintendo Switch so much is that it frequently receives ports of games that were previously released for PC. In many cases, for me at least, these are games that somehow managed to fly under my radar when they first came out. Thanks...
Ancient Rome’s legacy will never die. I’m not talking about in culture, politics, or architecture either. I mean Rome’s legacy in video games, especially those of the strategic kind. Its place in history as a landmark of wartime strategy means that, for strategy game developers looking for a setting, Rome...
Since the release of Monster Hunter World way back in the ancient days of 2016, I have been hooked onto Capcom’s once niche, now mainstream as hell franchise, all thanks to its addictive gameplay loop that makes it just fun to keep coming back to. Since then, we’ve also had...
