A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A sci-fi action platformer with a pixel art style, Metal Unit puts the player in the shoes of an anime babe wearing skin tight mech armor. Although the overall roguelite format isn’t anything new, players will stay for the wealth of available weapons and unlockable abilities. From a narrative stand point, there is a lot […]
Building from Conduct Together, a multiplayer party title geared around trains, Northplay has now graduated to planes with Fly Together. If you played Flight Control, which saw great popularity on mobile devices and even WiiWare, you will know exactly what Fly Together is all about as it features the exact same gameplay. From a top-down […]
Released a few months ago on Switch, Gallic Wars: Battle Simulator is now available on Xbox One. As it plays exactly the same as the Switch version, everything I mentioned in my original article stands here. To quickly summarize, this is a weak RTS but with Roguelite properties. From a cumbersome interface, you place troops […]
A side scrolling platformer built with co-op in mind, Together can also be played solo but doesn’t have quite the same appeal. The moveset is simple – jump, attack, and roll – but each of the dozen playable characters have slightly new abilities, enough to encourage different co-op teams. Eventually you can unlock ranged attacked, […]
The latest release by Sometimes You, Arkan: The Dog Adventurer takes classic Arkanoid (single player Pong) and turns it into a thoughtful twin-stick shooter. The approach is so simple but yet so effective it is a wonder why this formula has not been demonstrated previously. Playing as a wizard Shiba Inu, the goal is to […]
Infinitrap: Rehamstered can probably be most easily described as a top-down Spelunky but with specifically designed levels (not randomly generated). Playing as an Indiana Jones cartoony character, the goal is to grab the golden chalice at the end of each stage. Of course there are tons of traps, hazards, enemies, and obstacles in your way. […]
Crash Drive 3 is an open world stunt racing game that never takes it foot off the accelerator and sort of mixes the chaos of Rocket League with the tricks of Tony Hawk. The single player offering is good enough on its own but the cross-play online multiplayer is where this title really shines. I […]
Whenever Nakana.io is set to publish a new title, I get a little excited because I know the experience is going to be different, hand crafted, and one that carries a message larger than the sum of its parts. Developed by Paralune, Mythic Ocean is essentially a multiple choice dialog simulator with minor exploration dispersed […]
Modified from a 2019 board game, Wingspan is a digital card game featuring birds, their eggs, their diet, and their habitats. Even though it checks all the quality of life boxes such as supporting robust multiplayer features and a pleasant art style, this title is super complex and I literally fell asleep during the tutorial. […]
A self-aware and fourth wall breaking side scrolling platformer, Paradox Error by EastAsiaSoft is a minimalistic meta experience. Not as difficult as Meat Boy but way weirder than Mario, this platformer is a low-cost, enjoyable experience if you are looking for something different. Essentially playing as a stick figure in a black and white world, […]
