A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
EchoBlade deserves some credit for trying something different. Playing as a blind swordsman, the goal is to escape a vast dungeon by collecting a bunch of keys, killing a ton of mindless guards, and avoiding traps along the way. Both the gameplay and presentation is simple, yet approachable, but to a fault. Even though it […]
Described as a hot and tasty retro-inspired action platformer, Garlic is loaded with ridiculous platforming goodness. It rides a firm line between being too difficult and being too easy, has a creative visual presentation, and quality stage design. For an indie platformer, this is easily one of the best I’ve been in a good while. […]
Ray’z Arcade Chronology contains a trilogy of Taito shooters from the mid-90s: Raystorm, RayCrisis, and RayForce, The porting wizards at M2 have put their stamp of quality on this compilation as all three games retain their original magic while adding modern features for 2023 players. When I first started my stream, embedded in this article, […]
For a $5 shooter, Feeble Light is an outstanding value. It is a fun, little shmup that doesn’t take itself too seriously but will easily please both casual and dedicated players. Made by a small team and published by EastAsiaSoft, you control a tiny ship as you need to blast enemies and avoid hazards. This […]
A follow up to Neko Secret Room, Neko Secret Homecoming is more of the same only more confusing and creepier. Ok, this is the story. Are you ready for this? For some reason, an anime cat girl heard a rumor about the location of a secret anime factory. So she takes a bus to a […]
Originally released on PS4 and Vita about five years ago, Reverie: Sweet As Edition takes the top-down real combat action RPG mechanics of Zelda: A Link To the Past and mixes it with the spritework of Earthbound. Due to the low difficulty, this remains a casual and laid-back experience from beginning to end. Playing as […]
Retrotainment Games and 8-Bit Legit deserve a lot of credit for creating Full Quiet, a new 8-bit NES game with mysterious, challenging, open-world gameplay. The scope of this game is massive but unfortunately its ambition bites off more than it can chew. Essentially playing as forest ranger, it is your job to solve puzzles, survive […]
A casual adventure game about helping the undead during a party, Boo Party is entirely based around playing errand boy. The reward? Why letting you take lewd pictures of topless monster ladies, of course. You know that trading quest in Link’s Awakening? Where you start with a Yoshi Doll then eventually trade your way to […]
Taking place after the events of Super Meat Boy Forever, Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine has adopted Team Meat’s gory platforming mechanics into a puzzler that mimics Puyo Puyo while making a pun on Sega’s Dr. Robonik’s Mean Bean Machine. Simply put, it is a single player match-4 puzzle game with buzzsaws. Surprisingly, not only […]
A simple run’n gun action platformer made by a small dev team, Robolt is marred with so many gameplay issues it is impossible to recommend despite having a low cost and an effortless unlockable Platinum Trophy. If you watch Part 1 of my stream embedded here, you’ll notice that I spawned dead upon starting and […]
