A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
A Micro Machines knock-off at best, Tiny Racer might provide a decent sense of scale with large set pieces and small cars but fails in every other department. This is one racer that steers off the road right into a light pole without insurance. Upon first firing up this eShop digital download, I couldn’t get […]
Trapped and alone on a foreign planet, Escape from Tethys carries heavy Metroid vibes and inspirations, specifically from Metroid Fusion. Playing as some dude in a Samus-like space suit, the player will traverse both outdoor environments, indoor corridors, and be hunted by an Android that is reminiscent of Samus’ SA-X doppelganger only not as terrifying. […]
A tactical RPG for any skill level, Steam Tactics simplifies gameplay with speedy battles and an ever increasing leveling system. As a $10 digital download, there is enough here to please longtime fans of the genre but welcome tactical newcomers. There are some obvious callbacks to the Star Fox series as the main anthropomorphic dog […]
Hamster Bob is a child’s digital coloring book with educational tones. Basically a mobile app for Switch, this is a more entertaining kid’s edutainment game than other kid friendly digital releases. Please take the scoring of this title with a grain of salt as I, an adult, am clearly not the intended audience for this […]
Originally released in 2014, They Breathe is a short but memorable unconventional downloadable title. Playing as a frog that descends into the depths of the sea, players are left to figure out what to do and how to progress all without any tutorial, dialog, or hud. I want to try and avoid spoilers here because […]
Playing as young boy who wakes from a coma, Neversong is a moody Metroidvania that deals with depressing issues and the loss of innocents. There is even a warning screen when the game is first fired up, explaining there is some heavy stuff here. However, it never goes as deep as it suggests and there […]
Using twin-stick controls, Cubers: Arena is an entertaining grind to become the best geometric shaped gladiator. Make no mistake, despite the simple shaped presentation, this is a brutal and pretty addicting downloadable title. Playing as a shape you learn about in kindergarten, the player must survive numerous waves of hostile baddies, leveling up along the […]
Nothing more than a Mario Party mini game, Lunch A Palooza satisfies as much as two-week old moldy left overs that were originally nuked in the microwave for way too long. With no replay value, no RPG or leveling features, and a frame rate so bad it barely functions, this is one meal you will […]
Originally released on PC in 2017, Swim Out is a trial-and-error puzzler that features a ton of levels and introduces new puzzle elements throughout. You can check out our PC review of Swim Out here. You control a swimmer from an overhead perspective and the goal is to reach the ladder while avoiding other swimmers […]
Superliminal is a trippy first person puzzle game that forces the player to unlearn what video games have been teaching players since the beginning of time. As most puzzles are based around perspective, solving these environmental puzzles will require some trial and error but provide constant “ah-ha” and “whoa” moments. It is difficult to explain […]
