A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Originally released in 1994 exclusively to arcade, Snow Bros. 2 is now available on Switch and PC as Snow Bros. 2 Special. The “Special” part of the name means it also includes a newly created Modern mode with numerous unlockable characters, extended boss fights, and online leaderboards. The $30 asking price is a bit much […]
Published by Sometimes You, Mortisomem is an adventure mystery horror game with PS1-ish style visuals. While it is never actually scary, the one-hour quest is rather interesting, different, and wished more games took this approach. Before going any further, it is important to note this is a first-person shooter without an option to invert the […]
Instead of being a new, retro arcade release designed around getting a high score, Flynn’s Arcade is making a pivot by publishing the addictive Skies Above, a leviathan defending simulator. The unique premise is newsworthy and thankfully the gameplay is there. This roguelite puts a stronger emphasis on story that directly blends into the gameplay, […]
Originally created for the Atari ST in 1987 and later ported to the original Gameboy, Bubble Ghost Remake has been fully remade and then some for this surprise 2025 release. Bubble Ghost is a forgotten, different, action-puzzle game based around reaction time and a large serving of trial-and-error. Honestly, I’ve been a fan of the […]
Dagger Froggy is the latest Survivors clone but with its own gimmick. Instead of constantly shooting within a massive environment, the playable frog can only toss one dagger in a straight line to defeat enemies. After the dagger is thrown, it is needs to be retrieved before it can be thrown again. At first, I […]
Developed by SURT and published by RedDeer.Games, Ringo’s Roundup is a casual pathfinding puzzle game. Playing as a charming little bunny, it is your job to deliver mail to the mailboxes in the shortest, and sometimes longest, path possible. This puzzle game is never difficult to understand but I appreciate the tutorial-as-you-go feature, with each […]
Named after the primordial goddess of darkness, Caligo is an interesting one-hour walking simulator published by Sometimes You. The highlight of this $9.99 digital download is the deep and thought-provoking narrative. There is no way to win or lose, you pretty much just walk in a straight line, and the face buttons do nothing. Even […]
First released on PC in 2018 then ported to Xbox and Playstation in 2021, Treasure Hunter Simulator is now available on Switch from Ultimate Games and Drago. Unfortunately, this simulation suffers from the same issues as many other sim titles by this Polish publisher. Playing as a treasure seeker, it is your job to location, […]
S. Prysm Destroyer is a side-scrolling 2.5D run’n gun shooter published by EastAsiaSoft for under ten bucks. While the retro gameplay is appreciated, the incredibly steep difficulty is not. This action shooter reminds me of Hard Corps Uprising, an often forgotten and more methodical Contra clone published by Konami. Meaning, the action isn’t a crazy […]
Originally released on PC last year, Alruna and the Necro-Industrialists is an indie Metroidvania designed around exploring and sequence breaking. Loaded with secrets in a compact world, this is one exploratory action puzzle game done right. The biggest difference with this indie release is that it puts its focus on exploration, not combat. While combat […]
