A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Clearly inspired by the Metroid titles, MindSeize checks all the boxes from Nintendo’s fan favorite bounty hunting series. Playable space marine in a cool looking suit? Check. Traverse expansive but stereotypical environments? You betcha. Gain abilities one at a time to slowly earn access to every nook and cranny the level design has to offer? […]
Released last year on Nintendo Switch, Feather is nothing more than a simple bird flight simulator. Everything stated in my original Switch article applies here to this Xbox One version only with some subtle changes. To quickly recap, the player controls a bird with responsive controls. In addition to adjusting speed with the trigger buttons, […]
Prequel to 2015’s Rebel Galaxy, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has a large single player campaign, tons of space dogfights, and plenty of American beer in space. We got smoked on our first mission but then started to wrap our heads around the combat and gameplay elements. Enjoy the stream embedded below:
Released in early 2019, Alwa’s Awakening was an original fantasy-based Metroidvania developed by Elden Pixels. Outfitted with a charming 8-bit aesthetic, this simple environmental platformer provided a straightforward experience but a decent way to spend a weekend’s worth of gaming. This sequel, Alwa’s Legacy, is more of the same only with an upgrade to a […]

Half posed as a spiritual successor to Rare’s 3rd person N64 shooter Jet Force Gemini, Tamarain features a monkey armed with an arsenal of guns on a quest to liberate a Nordic world of invading ants. If you played Rare’s cult favorite shooter back in the 64-bit era or perhaps on Rare Replay, it is […]
Probably best described as classic Snake meets Bomberman, Worm Jazz is a play-at-your-own-pace puzzler. Even with some dastardly designed puzzles, the experience remains casual thanks to the forgiving move system and smooth soundtrack. Playing as a worm who has a love of hats, the player is challenged by moving through a maze to reach the […]
Originally released in 2015 on PC, Swordbreaker The Game has made its way onto current gen consoles thanks to publisher Sometimes You. A digital “choose your own adventure” book, the player is only selecting options available from a menu but is treated to some nice artwork, a cheesy story, and numerous branching paths. Playing as […]
Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a nifty but flawed collection. With no option to invert the camera, this game is literally unplayable for me while Gillman can’t beat the waterpackless Mario Sunshine levels. The music player is also as basic can be which is also disappointing. Enjoy the stream embedded below:
Originally released in 1989 for the Mega Drive in Japan, Herzog Zwei became a bit of a cult classic amongst fans. Although it set an impressive standard for the real-time strategy genre, it was perhaps most known for its legendary difficulty. Even with adding several quality of life improvements thanks to the wizardry of M2, […]
