A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Bottle: Pilgrim Redux is a no-combat first-person walking simulator based around a family manâs loss, negligence, and addiction. Coincidentally, EastAsiaSoftâs Purpose 1951 released just a couple weeks before this Catness publish title and the similarities between these two games are uncanny to draw a comparison. Although you never see the protagonistâs face, you play as […]
Skaterâs Solstice is exactly the same game as Shivering Stone right down to the visuals, gameplay, and soundtrack. Created by the same small team, the reused assets and gameplay only has one difference. In Shivering Stone, the player pushed blocks. In Skaterâs Solstice, you are the essentially the block, portrayed as a kid on skates, […]
Moe Waifu H-Blockblast is another low-cost, simple Arkanoid clone published by EastAsiaSoft. Other than the easy Platinum, there isnât much staying power coming from this single player Pong arcade-style game. Controlling the movement of the paddle at the bottom, the goal is to reflect a bouncing ball to destroy all the bricks from a single […]
Created by 7LEVELS, Kong: Survivor Instinct is a 2.5D action adventure that creatively ties into the events of the Kong Vs. Godzilla movie. When you think of Kong, you probably think of a giant monkey terrorizing cities while fighting prehistoric monsters. So it is a little misleading that you play as a everyday average dude […]
Super XYX, published by EastAsiaSoft, is a ridiculous, fluidly fast vertical eye-scorcher of a shooter. This ten-dollar action-heavy download is impressive for two main reasons. First, its visual fidelity never gets old and remains consistently awesome throughout. Secondly, with just a little practice, youâll be thinking to yourself âhow I am still aliveâ with so […]
Released a year ago on PC, multiplayer online shooter Starship Troopers: Extermination is now available on consoles. It is interesting because players will be hunting multiple types of bugs in this licensed offshoot. It doesnât take much to see this was designed as a PC game shoehorned into a console experience. Using the analog stick […]
Published by EastAsiaSoft, Purpose 1951 is the exact definition of a âwalking simulator.â Without combat, interactivity, or a way to lose, the player simply uses the left stick to move at one slow unchangeable pace and the right stick to adjust viewing angle. Unfortunately, the uneventful, one-note experience leaves much to be desired. Apparently, this […]
The Smurfs: Dreams, by Ocellus Studio and Microids, is a surprisingly enjoyable, highly competent, licensed platformer about tiny poisoned, topless blue creatures who live in the forest. Strangely, there is no movie or cartoon marketing tie-in. Stranger yet, does anyone even care or know about the Smurfs, especially in late 2024? But do not let […]
Rogue Sentry is not a rogue, roguelite, or roguelike. No, the name is a literal description of the playable protagonist, a robot sentry that has gone rogue. Gameplay is a twin-stick Metroidvania, outfitted with PlayDate-like 1-bit visuals that are letterboxed within the widescreen. Two quickly summarize, it is a wonderful and highly entertaining three-hour romp. […]
Created by Deck13, the same team that released Crosscode and Chained Echoes, have released Drova, a 6-year passion project, to modern consoles and PC. To summarize, Drova is an atmospheric open-world action RPG set in a brutally dark Celtic, magic-filled world. It doesnât take much to see this is a role-playing game made by enthusiastic […]
