A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
An arcade-style top-down single player racer that looks and feels like a modern Super Sprint, Formula Bit Racing DX has the makings of a quality racing title. Simple controls, courses that can be completed in one minute, and a cartoony and non-intimidating visual style add up to something that has the groundwork for something fun. […]
Pnevmo-Capsula: Domiki is a literal on-rails puzzle game about controlling an electric toy train. It is unlike anything I’ve ever played so there is really nothing in which to compare. So what is this unique, experimental game? With no story, complete lack of background context, and no indication on what to do, the player can […]
An action pig-based platformer, Ammo Pigs: Armed and Delicious is a retro 8-bit style 2D side-scroller with only a jump and shoot button. It is a simple, pick-up-and-playable approach that is never overly difficulty but rather repetitive. Playing as a pig version of Rambo, it is your job to destroy a few different robotic enemies […]
A 3D single-player arena shooter with purposely pixelated visuals, Rule No. 1 is a first-person action game designed around getting a high score. Although it suffers from repetition, there is just enough gas in the tank to see the trip to the final destination. Like early FPS titles, the player can move throughout a 3D […]
41 Hours is a first-person shooter starring a nerd with a gun and telekinesis powers. This single-player only campaign involves time travel, portals, superhuman abilities and an AI partner that can literally explode on command. It is a weird game that sets its mark high but falls well short of the bullseye. Playing as Ethan, […]
A new, vertical arcade-style shooter, Sophstar takes the best aspects of your favorite shmups and merges them into a quality concoction all from a budget price. This shooter doesn’t do anything new but presents everything with polish, respecting the player’s time and skill every step of the way. In fact, there are so many options […]
Originally released on mobile, Broken Universe is a colorful and ever-growing tower defense title now available on Switch thanks to RedDeer.Games. Playing as a space racoon trying to save his girlfriend from waves of fruit, cute critters, and even water animals (that can somehow traverse on land), it is Roco’s job to protect the home […]
One of the most bizarre games I have played in recent memory, God Damn the Garden is a PSOne style first person shooter set in an oddly occupied world. The purposely vague environment and storytelling definitely makes the gameplay experience mysterious but also confusing and frustrating. If the goal was to make a new PSOne-style […]
With obvious inspiration from Tecmo’s Mighty Bombjack series, Super Jagger Bomb is a one note, repetitive arcade-like experience with little to offer. Playing as some dude in a weird hook nose mask, the goal is to collect all the balloons for each of the game’s 100 available stages. With no offensive capabilities whatsoever, the player […]
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia is the latest Soulsborn release but it has one key difference from this now crowded genre – humor. While the gameplay is still very much a die-try-again, at least you’ll have a chuckle along the way. Very much self-aware, the game’s narrator guides the clueless player through the game both […]
