A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Ayo The Clown is a family friendly 2.5D platformer designed for young or inexperienced players. While not has complicated, difficult, or action packed as a Mario, Kirby, or even a Yoshi platformer, Ayo is purposely slower paced and more methodical, making it a perfect entry point for beginning gamers. Long time platforming fans, however, will […]
Within the Blade has the foundation of a solid stealth/action ninja adventure, the 16-bit visuals are nicely detailed, and each stage can be completed in just a few minutes, ensuring fast gameplay. Unfortunately, several small issues damper the entire experience which is a mega bummer because I really wanted to sink my teeth into being […]
Sequel to Metagal, Metaloid Origins is a 2D classic run-and-gun action platformer that should please fans of 8 and 16-bit Mega Man titles. There are a total of three playable character, each sporting their own unique abilities which adds quality replay value. The story ultimately remains the same no matter which playable cat you choose […]
Originally released in early 2020 on Nintendo Switch, Inbento is a casual puzzle game that anyone can play. The play-at-your-own-pace approach is super laid back and the silent narrative about a Mommy cat prepping a meal for her young kitten might even jerk a few tears. Everything I said in my Switch review holds the […]
Mind Maze is a simple puzzle game where you and your opponent alternate placing lines on a tiled grid. The player who completes the square, essentially the 4th line, gets a point and another immediate turn. In other words, it is exactly the same pen and paper game called Dots And Boxes only here it […]
A 3D auto-runner, MouseBot: Escape from CatLab is an uncomplicated on-rails platformer that doesn’t offer much in terms of variety but has approachable design and simplicity. Best played by young gamers and in short bursts, it wouldn’t be fair to call MouseBot a bad game, just a plainly boring one. Playing the role of a […]
Gutwhale is a single screened action platformer that is all about managing a limited ammo reserve while maintaining the space between enemies. This is a roguelite, since the stages are randomly generated with each attempt, but there is a definitive ending. In fact, the game can be beaten in just over one minute and its […]
Blitz Breaker is the latest in the challenging 2D platforming genre and plays similarly to any of those titles you played before. However, there is one aspect that separates Blitz Breaker from most – the simplified control scheme. Although the player can perform a low hop by pressing the jump button, this is one platformer […]
A top-down Rocket League clone, Food Truck Arena is slower paced, simplified, and much more methodical than Psyonix’s popular soccer-with-cars simulation. Just like soccer, the goal is to score a goal on your opponent. Instead of controlling a soccer player, players drive a food truck (ice cream truck, taco stand, etc) and instead of a […]
A sci-fi action platformer with a pixel art style, Metal Unit puts the player in the shoes of an anime babe wearing skin tight mech armor. Although the overall roguelite format isn’t anything new, players will stay for the wealth of available weapons and unlockable abilities. From a narrative stand point, there is a lot […]
