A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Game and gadget reviews here.
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 […]
Car Trader has the player bidding on wrecked cars, then click on a button to fix them, then click another button to sell them hoping to earn a profit. What happens when you earn a profit? Nothing. What happens when you lose money? Nothing. What happens if you don’t bid on a car? Nothing. The […]
Go Back to Auto Shop Car Mechanic Manager is supposed to be a sim game in which you slowly fix then sell cars to increase profit and the size of the business. It is basically a poor man’s Facebook game but way worse. Despite having a touchscreen interface, there is no touch screen support. The […]
One Woman Army Akane is a low cost one-hit one-kill arena slasher on the Switch eShop. Think Robotron but without twin-stick controls, a neon landscape, you fight Yakuza instead of aliens, and with a stronger emphasis on melee combat. Death will inevitably strike the player but the goal is to take as many Yakuza with […]
Quality Puyo. Budget Price. Puyo Puyo Champions is a Puyo title that has all the features you want but at a budget price. For only $10, this puzzle game is a steal. Featuring both rulesets from Puyo Puyo 2 and Puyo Puyo Fever, Champions essentially acts a compilation of the best of both worlds. From […]
