A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
Captain Cat is a one-button action puzzle game that is easy to play but will require some trial-and-error to perfect. Feeling like it was ported from a mobile environment and taking place on a single screen, the player controls a cat on a tugboat at the top of the screen. Once in position, the player […]
Dubbed as a single player split-screen twin-stick shooter risk’em-up plays about as complicatedly as it sounds. Like any good arcade game, the goal is to earn the highest score possible. The gimmick, however, is your score reverts back to zero if you die so playing until death is not an option; the player has to […]
New retro games have become a fad over the last few years as indie devs are big into creating pixel-style titles that share a similar look from games of their past. While pixel art has continued to shine, low poly 3D games thankfully are the exception to this trend as many games from the PS1 […]
When you see the name “Robot Squad Simulator” what immediately pops into your mind? For me, I was thinking this sounds like a great four-player co-op shooter where you control a robot of unique abilities that fight against throngs of evil robots in a post-apocalyptic setting, like Terminators versus Transformers. My assumption couldn’t be further […]
A dark puzzle platformer, Selma and the Wisp’s gimmick comes from the unique control scheme. Instead of controlling Selma directly, the player assumes the role of a floating wisp, essentially acting as a cursor, and guides Selma through a dark nightmarish world. Each stage is as linear as can be but constantly present the player […]
Crystal Crisis is most easily described as a clone of Capcom’s Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo only with offensive and defensive super moves, an obscure character roster, high production values, and with gameplay that entertains both online and off. Like most well-based competitive puzzle games, the goal is to drown your opponent in garbage pieces […]
Eternity: The Last Unicorn looks, feels, and plays like a PS2 game. While new retro styled games are released all the time, this action RPG feels like it wants to be an AAA title but created with a budget price that is firmly designed as a primitive 3D game. Mixing the visuals and magical world […]
A Literal Walking Simulator The term “walking simulator” has been used in a humorous way to describe some laid back games recently, games that usually involve minimal input from the player. Star Sky is quite literally a walking simulator as the only buttons for input are pressed for walking or walking faster. From a nighttime […]
As a polar bear riding a chicken, Chicken Rider is an endless runner built with the same gameplay formula as Jetpack Joyride. Since the game constantly provides new objectives every attempt, the gameplay loop becomes addictive as there is always something to strive for other than achieving a high score. The player has the ability […]
Zero Gravity Racing Redout is the latest high-speed F-Zero-type racer now available on Nintendo Switch as the Lightspeed Edition which includes a bunch of free DLC. With a unique control scheme and tons of single player content, there is enough here to justify the higher $40 price point. While these are F-Zero/Wipeout style futuristic vehicles […]
