Touhou Luna Nights (Xbox One) Review
Touhou Luna Nights is a creative and thoughtful Metroidvania as it gives the player a wondrously overpowered ability, stopping time, but balances it with the high risk/reward Graze system. The ranged attacks of the main character are also badass and the pixel art is so well done screenshots of the game should be hanging in…
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (PS4) Review (PS4) Review
Vanillaware, known for developing games such as Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Dragon’s Crown, and Odin Sphere, has made a name for themselves through their always amazing 2D art and action-based combat.

Instead of fixing cars, buses, or motorcycles…
Mask of Mists (Xbox One) Review
To quickly put Mask of Mists into perspective, it can sort of be described as a Skyrim-lite only with a stronger emphasis on collecting items to solve environmental puzzles. Taking the role of a mercenary, the player needs to play detective to find a missing mage, exploring an enclosed but vast world along the way….
Fight Crab (Switch) Review
Every once in a great while, a game comes along that provides an experience that is unmatched, making numerous memories along the way. A couple of my own examples involve seeing Mario’s face upon firing up Super Mario 64 on N64’s launch day or having that magical feeling of surprise and wonder during the entire…
VIDEOCAST – Spinch (PC)
Spinch is a psychedelic platformer created by artist Jesse Jacob. While not as difficult as other Meatboy-like platformers, Spinch is probably the most colorful game you’ll ever play. Our stream is embedded here:
One Line Coloring (Switch) Review
MythicOwl, the studio behind puzzler Hexologic, has released One Line Coloring on the Nintendo Switch eShop. With a super chill gameplay premise that anyone can pick up and play, this connect-the-dots sim feels like the perfect follow-up to their original Hex-based PC title. One Line Coloring is a digital version of connect-the-dots but with some…
