A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A tile-based platformer that intentionally limits the player’s view, GLO features heavy trial-and-error gameplay. The higher challenge and demand for repetition might not please everyone but there is no denying the sense of accomplishment upon completing every stage. Playing as a square, the goal is to reach the end tile. Shrouded in darkness, the player […]
Boulder Dash Deluxe is a bit of an odd release considering Boulder Dash 30th Anniversary was released a year ago. Using the same engine, gameplay, and overall presentation, Boulder Dash Deluxe is essentially a $15 expansion pack to the 30th Anniversary despite being two titles individually released. If you never played Boulder Dash before, you […]
Even though Crimzon Clover World EXplosion was originally released in 2011, this is an action packed shooter that is insanely fun to play today. To make this short and simple, this is a must-own for any shooter fan and makes a quality addition to any Switch library. Watching the trailer for this top-down vertical shooter […]
Inspired by NES 8-bit platformers, Ravva and the Cyclops Curse is a linear experience built around four abilities used to defeat monsters and solve environmental puzzles. It is a short journey with a few stubborn moments but is still a decent way to kill a couple hours considering the low asking price. You play as […]
You know how soccer is played with feet? Well instead of kicking the ball, imagine using a baseball bat. And then imagine using that bat to whack the crap out of your competitor. Then imagine holding down the button to warm up a power attack to really whack the crap out of the ball or […]
UnMetal is a deliberate Metal Gear parody game that is one of the most intelligently written, fourth wall breaking games I’ve played. Being the massive Metal Gear fan that I am, I was worried such an obvious knock off would sour the wondrous MGS experience but instead was blown away by how smart, funny, and […]
Mask of Mists originally launched on Xbox One about one year ago. Now, Sometimes You has released a specific version for Xbox Series X. The asking price is $15 but Xbox One owners looking to upgrade can get a 50% discount. In short, this newer Xbox Series X version plays exactly like the Xbox One […]
Originally starting as a hobby and the product of hack-a-thons, Alveole is an experimental puzzle game built about a single theme – cage. With a unique minimalistic presentation and only using a single button, Alveole isn’t a bad game by any means, just a really odd one with limited replay value. Playing as a stick […]
Originally released on Switch in early 2020, Fishing Adventure is now available on Xbox One. Since this is the exactly the same game, everything that I mentioned in my Switch article applies here. To recap my original Switch coverage, there is no story in this first person fishing sim so the game jumps right into […]
Taking place on a hexagonal grid, Curious Expedition 2 is a roguelike title that puts an emphasis on narrative, decision making, and randomness into a combination that is rewarding but also carries a higher level of difficulty that might not appeal to everyone. You and your crew are exploring the seas when an island is […]
