A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Beat Me!, developed by the small studio at Red Limb Studio, is easily described as a poor’s man Smash Bros. Even if the ragdoll fighting physics were fun and balanced, players cannot compete against other players because there are literally zero players in the online lobby. From a 2D perspective, players select a stereotypical fantasy […]
My Aunt Is A Witch is a visual novel published by Sometimes You of Explosive Jake and Awesome Pea fame. While I personally am not a fan of visual novels as I like more game in my games, fans of the genre should appreciate the story, the vivid visuals, and slight adventure game mechanics. The […]
Absolute Drift isn’t a racing game, it is a driving game. In fact, a timer is only used in select segments where the player needs to hit a certain score within a time limit. No, this is a game about control, precision, and taking full command of your vehicle. Although it is rather difficult to […]
As a follow up to the highly praised mobile original, Steampunk Tower 2 offer addicting tower defense gameplay with light city building mechanics that constantly entices the player. Although grindy in spots, there is a lot of quality content here. Steampunk Tower 2 takes a unique approach to 2D defense gameplay. Each stage drops the […]
Originally released in 2014, the Xbox One version was flawed with a clunky interface and an awkward multiplayer mode. While some of these flaws are still present with this Switch port, improvements and enhancements have been made. The entire presentation still looks stunning. Whether admiring the reflection off the cue ball to simply enjoying the […]
Dead Dungeon is the latest Super Meat Boy clone, offering 50 single screen stages of challenging platforming. Although very simple in both presentation and gameplay (you only use the analog stick and the “A” button to jump and double jump – there isn’t even wall jumping), it requires skills to see the end. The objective […]
Not to be confused with the longer running Bus Simulator series, Bus Driver Simulator is published by Ultimate Games S.A. and developed by KishMish Games. Although I didn’t find much entertainment doing virtual work bussing people around town in Bus Simulator, at least it functioned. Bus Driver Simulator on the other hand doesn’t even work […]
Released two years ago, Outright Games released Paw Patrol: On A Roll on all current consoles. This colorful and low challenge 2D side-scroller was a great title for young gamers as it essentially is like playing a cartoon. Due to the success of the original game, Outright has released their follow-up Paw Patrol: Might Pups […]
First released on Switch about one month ago, Shoot 1Up DX has now been ported to Xbox One. Everything mentioned in my Switch article applies here for this Xbox One version. To quickly recap the Switch review, the main gimmick behind Shoot 1Up DX is the ship stacking gameplay mechanic. Collecting a 1Up symbol immediately […]
Gigantosaurus: The Game might take its inspiration from Nintendo’s Super Mario Odyssey but winds up being a barren, time absorbing collect-a-thon. Although still serviceable when played in short bursts, this is ultimately is another licensed kid cash-in release. The meat of the game takes place in large open environments, tasking the player to collect hundreds […]
