A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A budget horizontal shooter, Hell Pages is an action game that was originally released on Steam over a year ago. Now available on Switch, its cardboard cut-out visual style, grindy unlockables, and steep difficulty spikes makes this a shooter that constantly takes one step forward then one step back. The entire game is composed of […]
A simple puzzle game about reflecting a beam of light to an end point, Rayland is a casual puzzle experience that never gets overly complex and offers some easy high point Achievements for under a five-dollar asking price. To make an easy comparison, Rayland is basically the same game as Archaica: The Path of Light […]
The most complicated aspect of Crypt of the Serpent King Remastered 4K Edition is pronouncing or writing the long title. This approachable dungeon crawler is one of the most simplified games you can play, suffers from some horrible repetition, but still finds a way to be entertaining thanks to the easy Achievements and numerous unlockables. […]
Originally released on Steam, Dark Minute: Kira’s Adventure is a literal dark platformer now available on the Switch eShop. Unfortunately, its main gimmick, platforming in the dark, is just as tedious as it sounds. Through an 8-bit sprite-based visual presentation, the player has sixty seconds to find three energy cells and reach the exit otherwise […]
Bundling two games in one, Flea! and Tapeworm Disco Puzzle, the Parasite Pack is a compilation that fully embraces its namesake. While Flea! is a single-screen get-to-the-other-side platformer and Tapeworm Disco Puzzle is a different take on classic Snake, there is a lot of crossover between these games with cameos and overall presentation. Both games […]
A unique roguelite firefighting platformer, Firegirl Hack’n Splash Rescue DX has an eye catching visual style but the steep difficulty and slow progression can make your rage just as passionate as that burning building. Playing as the daughter of a great fireman, it is your job to douse fires, bust through blocked paths with your […]
Thunder Kid II: Null Mission is the exact same game as Thunder Kid only with new stage designs, different boss battles, and should have been DLC instead of a whole new game. Just like the original, players move into the screen like Star Fox only it isn’t on rails. Instead, each stage is essentially a […]
Hillbilly Doomsday fits into the Sometimes You library of published titles. It features simple, approachable gameplay. It only costs a few bucks. And it focuses its entire approach around one gimmick, in this case, smacking the crap out of monsters with a wide shovel swing and watching the gory chunks fall everywhere. Despite the over-the-top […]
The inebriated adventure of Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover is easily one of the most ridiculous beat’em up brawlers I have ever played and it is all the better for it. The comical hilarity falls in line with the stupid gameplay to near perfection, creating an instantly memorable experience you’ll need to share with your […]
There has been at least one Crazy Chicken game on every console for more than a decade including 3DS and even DSi. Unfortunately, this light gun shooting gallery has not evolved, contains horribly broken gameplay, and has nothing “Xtreme” about it… unless you count the rage inducing frustration it can easily cause. This is nothing […]
