A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Mr. Prepper has a lot in common with Fallout Shelter but adds the collecting and crafting of most open world RPGs. There is a lot happening and the complicated UI doesn’t do the experience any favors. It is never explained but you guide a bad ass looking rock star dude to build things within his […]
Horatio Goes Snowboarding is an endless, score-based arcade game with obvious nods to Ski Free, the classic Windows game from the early 90s. Mixing one part Frogger, one part snowboarding, and one part rogue elements, this retro throwback has some addicting qualities. Playing as this chubby gnome guy that I assume in named Horatio, the […]
A 2D puzzle platformer created by Bad Dream Games and published by HandyGames, which is related to THQ, One Hand Clapping earns some brownie points for its entirely unique approach – the game requires a mic and the player must sing to complete tasks. There is some great potential here but unfortunately gets tiresome quickly. […]
There is no denying the similarities between White Shadows, developed by Monokel and published by Thunderful, and Limbo. Both games feature dark and shadowy environments, sometimes depicting extreme acts of violence with distributing imagery, complete with puzzle platforming gameplay. Although there is a lot in common, White Shadows has plenty of elements that separate it […]
Outside of Metroid Dread, Trash Quest is probably the next best Metroid-like experience I have had in 2021. It is short, compact, and nearly perfectly paced, easily demonstrating that big things can come in small packages. Trash Quest features Metroid gameplay with a very small touch of rogue elements, giving it a slightly different twist […]
Inspired by classic Micro Machines titles, Mini Madness is a remote controlled car racing game that places players in oversized environments to provide a weak illusion of driving as a tiny vehicle. The bland visual presentation is the least of this game’s problems as the track design and progression system makes the game virtually unplayable. […]
Although it might seem like some sort of Gundam imitator, Break Arts II is actually a racing game. Uniquely, the auto-accelerating feature and deep customization sets this gotta-go-fast racer apart but ultimately loses its boost power by the second lap. Instead of a giant mech shooter, this sequel has more in common with high speeder […]
Essentially one giant WTF moment, DEEEER Simulator is purposely designed as pure absurdity. It offers ridiculous, nonsensical fun best played in short bursts with gameplay mechanics that never make any sense, there is no cohesion, and the player is never given any indication on what it is you should actually be doing… and the game […]
With 2D pixel art that looks a lot like Terraria, 6Souls is a casual platformer with light environmental puzzle solving and combat. The lower amount of difficulty creates an easy going experience which I personally find to be refreshing here in the 2021 gaming landscape of tedious and hard roguelikes. Although “souls” is the title, […]
Pumpkin Jack is clearly inspired by platforming classics of the late 90s and is all the better for it being released in 2021 (the original non-New Gen Edition was released in 2020). If Pumpkin Jack was released during the 360 era, it probably would have been written off as basic and boring. However, in an […]
