A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Don’t be confused by the promo image. In Other Waters is a text-based narrative adventure game without any graphics or cool underwater worlds to explore. Here, the player controls an AI and is tasked with helping a diver navigate an alien world while looking for a partner. Going to be totally honest here but I […]
Fury Unleashed has been in development for over five years and the final product speaks to the long development cycle. This 2D side-scrolling action rogue platformer is always tough but fair and will keep you coming back for more. Roguelikes are a dime a dozen these days but Fury Unleashed gets it right. Each encounter […]
HyperParasite has two unique aspects to its gameplay. First, it is a roguelike on top of being a twin-stick shooter. Secondly, you play as a parasite that can possess hosts, each with their own unique abilities. On paper, this sounds like a winning formula but the final execution leaves something to be desired. It is […]
Wurroom isn’t a game. It is a trippy ten minute claymation video in which the player has minimal control and is basically just supposed to strap-in and enjoy the ride. This feels like a final project from a couple college students, making weird stuff for the sake of being weird. At a few times, the […]
Released on PC a couple years ago, Bohemian Killing is now available on Nintendo Switch. A who-done-it walking simulator, this courtroom drama should please fans that enjoy digging deep into the details of a story. For a game that is moderately priced, there are higher than expected presentation values here. What makes Bohemian Killing so […]
Did you know bugs go to school to learn how to pick up refrigerators and build block forts? Neither did I but apparently this is an important skill for little critters to master. The only thing more ridiculous than the game concept are the loose physics. Bug Academy is a 2.5D side scroller where the […]
Essentially a 4-player, every man for himself, top-down Splatoon, players take control of pooping babies with the goal of smearing the floor with as much as their candy colored feces as possible. Because hey, fart and poop jokes are super fun, right? There is even a fart slider found in the options screen if you […]
The Disaster Report series originated on PS2 in 2003 then spawned a couple sequels, one of which was on PSP and never came to America. This latest iteration, Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories, continues with the extreme environmental hazard gameplay but perhaps not in the way you would expect. If you watch the trailer for […]
Thanks to the success of Nintendo’s Fire Emblem series, the tactical RPG has become a popular genre among gamers over the last couple console generations. From this success, releasing Langrisser I & II in early 2020 seems like the right time to revive this shadowed franchise. Releasing both games in one package is the right […]
Hidden Through Time is Where’s Waldo but presented in a way that feels right and plays exactly how you would expect. Controlling an on-screen cursor, the goal is to locate specific objects in a busy landscape, just like searching for Waldo in the 90s. Unlike the static pages of the book, this game features subtle […]
