A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Developed by the small team at Niila Games and published by Nakana.io, a publisher who focuses on games that provide a message with experimental experiences, StilStand is a dark interactive novel about a girl struggling with depression, loneliness, and anxiety. This narrative-heavy adventure is bound to hit close to home for some players and definitely […]
Another low cost, simple digital download by Sometimes You, Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide is basically a ChuChu Rocket-lite. Instead of guiding mice to an exit while avoiding cats like in Sega’s neglected multiplayer puzzler, players take control of a hand drawn cat (or a bat) to guide spirits to a goal. ChuChu Rocket […]
A simple trial-and-error puzzle game about guiding an alien-headed humanoid to the end goal by picking up gems along the way, Enchanted Path does not have much going for it. The visuals are sorely bland and there is no replay value but at least the background tunes are pleasant. From an isometric grid, the player […]
The latest title in the Pretty Girls series by EastAsiaSoft, Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire is a PG-13 rated Mahjong game. Yes, there are anime babes in the background but at best (or at worst?) they will dress to their bikinis. As a Mahjong game, eh, it is a Mahjong game. As a game with a […]
Rover Mechanic Simulator is the last sim title by Ultimate Games and it focuses on interplanetary machines as opposed to War Trucks, Bus sims, or even foreign War simulation. Unfortunately, this game suffers similarly to these other sim-based titles as it is overly complex, always tedious, and little more than a button pressing and menu […]
Crisis Wing is an old-school style vertical shooter that puts a heavy emphasis on challenge. Never impossible but always difficult, even long time shooter fans might find frustration with the trial-and-error difficulty. To summarize quickly, Crisis Wing is a decent shooter, especially considering the low price tag, but there are a couple issues that damper […]
Nakana.io is a different game publisher because they release games that put a heavy focus on story, narrative, and creating a memorable experience that lasts after the console is powered off. Lydia is another game worthy to be placed in the Nakana.io library as its focuses on a child’s youth, struggling with the alcoholism of […]
The first game in this 30 year old series to be released in the West, Xuan Yuan Sword 7 is an action RPG that checks most boxes with expected gameplay elements. It isn’t the best action RPG but it also isn’t the worst. Although new to the American audience, this series has been known to […]
Originally released in 1992 on the Japanese Sega Mega Drive, Greylancer has earned a cult following. Now outfitted with modern quality of life features, this is one action game that shooter fans will adore. It only costs $7.99 too. The gimmick behind Greylancer is the unique control set up. Instead of just shooting forward and […]
The main draw of Waifu Discovered 2: Medieval Fantasy is obviously the seductively drawn anime babes but the shooter segment, the actual gameplay, is surprisingly enjoyable thanks to a thoughtful upgrade system. Even if seeing ladies in their birthday suits wasn’t in this game, it would still be a fun shooter. Apparently these ladies have […]
