A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Spinning Your Wheels Spintires: Mudrunner is a super brutal simulation that is not for everyone but should be respected by all. Playing this game and writing this review is not easy for a game like this, but I sure did learn a lot. Mudrunner puts the player in control of a truck driver where the […]
Old Timey 3D Platformer Poi: Explorer Edition by PolyKid on Nintendo Switch is a love letter to the 3D platform genre of yesteryear, taking heavy inspiration from Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. By no means does Poi reinvent the wheel or even generate any unique gameplay elements but instead celebrates being a kid friendly, […]
A Fight To Survive Originally released on PC in 2016, indie developer The Molasses Flood with publisher Curve Digital have ported their survival action game to the Nintendo Switch alongside the Xbox One and PS4. With randomly procured environments, The Flame In The Flood is essentially a new take on the Oregon Trail that uses […]
The Floaty Stick Figure Ninja Is Back For More When N+ hit PCs back in 2004, fans clambered to the floaty ninja action platformer. Eventually ported to Xbox 360 Arcade, Nintendo DS and even PSP in 2008, Metanet Software’s wall jumper was well received on all platforms. Almost a decade later, N++ is the next […]
The New Shovel Knight Nicalis is following their re-release of Cave Story on Switch with Tiny Barbarian DX, originally released on PC in 2013. Developed by StarQuail Games, this 2D action platformer actually looks and plays a lot like Cave Story but definitely has its own personality, flare, and friggin’ adorable sprite work. In fact, […]
Encouraging Their Arrival With a simple premise, addicting gameplay, intuitive controls, and beautiful pixel art, Let Them Come, developed by Tuatara Games and published by Versus Evil, is a surprise, must-play pleasure. This $7.99 indie title ($4.99 on PC) is essentially a real-time tower defense only you are the defense. You play as Rock Gunar, […]
Insert “Unbearable” Joke Here Astro Bears Party offers about five minutes of fun if you can huddle four people around a Nintendo Switch. Essentially a four-player version of the original cell phone game Snake, the goal is to NOT bump into a trail that is left behind by any of the playable characters. The screen […]
Pankaput With beautiful hand drawn visuals and old school platforming gameplay, Pankapu is a slower paced traditional platformer that doesn’t really draw any excitement. Besides running and jumping from left to right, Pankapu is story driven. Told as a parent reading a storybook to a child, the narrative is whimsically told through cutscenes that are […]
Robonauts is a vibrant and musically benefited arcade shooter that is essentially an arena-based Contra but with the rotating planet jump of Super Mario Galaxy. There isn’t anything that has really been done before, and this shooter can provide a quick burst of co-op entertainment, but ultimately the solo campaign becomes tedious and frustrating with […]
If Chicken Wiggle Told You That the Sky Was Falling… It is easy to see that Chicken Wiggle is made by the developer that created Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter thanks to the cutesy art and game design. Jools Watsham of Atooi, formerly of Renegade Kid, has put love and passion into this charming platformer and […]
