Game and gadget reviews here.
Released a year ago on Steam, Genome Guardian on Switch is a stationary roguelite turret shooter. The initial learning curve is high but that is due to the insane number of options, features, and unlockables. Despite being designed around a microscopic world, there sure is a lot to see, do, and shoot. When I first […]
Sequal to 2020’s Super Jagger Bomb, Super Jagger Bomb 2: Go East is more of the same and that isn’t a good thing. The annoyances that marred the original return, making this low-cost download feel more like a disappointing expansion pack versus a whole new game. Taking inspiration from Mighty Bomb Jack, Go East has […]

Its heart is in the right spot, but unfortunate design choices make it difficult to navigate. Boyfriend Haruto has been dating girlfriend Miya for years. Miya then got upset because Haruto […]
Agent Fall, published by EastAsiaSoft, is a chibi run-and-gun action game that is straightforward, simple, and low-challenge but can produce a pleasant smile during its brief run time. In other words, this is another game that fits firmly within EastAsiaSoft’s library; a low-cost, short, casual digital download filled with easy Achievements. To quickly summarize, Agent […]

This platformer isn’t anything special or anything you have […]
Since the 1980s, there have been many Macross titles, but none have been officially released in the West until now. Macross -Shooting Insight- is an odd starting point for American gamers as it mixes heroes and plot points of previous games. This wordy shooter probably isn’t the game to spark curiosity about past releases, but […]
Originally released on PC a couple years ago, Moons of Darsalon by Dr. Kucho Games has trickled its way onto consoles. Mixing Lemmings’ “save them all” gameplay with a twin-stick shooter is an interesting combo but there are a few unfortunate stumbles that hold back the creative experience. This indie developed title is essentially one […]
Published by Dear Villagers and developed by Exalted Studios, Big Helmet Heroes is a wacky 3D brawler with retro inspirations but outfitted with a modern presentation. For a beat’em up, there is a ton of meat on the bone whether playing solo or couch co-op. Armed with a light attack, a heavy attack, and a […]
First released on Xbox in the Fall of 2024, Farewell North by Mooneye Studios is now available on PS5 and it is just as heartfelt as ever. For more detail on this emotional game, see my article on the XSX version HERE mostly everything mentioned applies to this PS5 version. The biggest difference in […]
Previously released on every platform except for Xbox, The Exit 8 is a weird, slightly unsettling looping walking simulator published by Playism.
