A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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, […]
Modeled after a penny arcade machine created in the early 1900s, Bartlow’s Dream Machine is one of the most unique and charming twin-stickers you’ll ever play. There are annoying moments of wild difficulty spikes but the overall presentation and gameplay is charming until the credits roll. Playing as a secret service agent trying to rescue […]
Her Majesty’s Ship puts the player in control of a naval military ship on a quest to increase rank, expand the vessel and crew, and defeat other nations. With a complicated UI, micro managing everything can become complex and ultimately becomes a clicker game. It is not quite The Sims and not quite Fallout Shelter, […]
GORSD is a super weird, unsettling single bullet shooter that is essentially Splatoon meets Pac-Man. The bizarre and creepy art style is purposely off putting and I found the gameplay to be some of the most frustrating I have ever played. However, even though this game might not be for me, I am still glad […]
Originally released on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in late 2019, Lost Ember was not only one of the most cinematic games I have ever played, it easily stood as one of the most surprising titles of the year. Now available on Nintendo Switch, Lost Ember is still captivating, is a must play, and stands […]
Georifters takes a new approach to the 2D block puzzler. Instead of digging through blocks like in Lode Runner or simply pushing blocks like in Sokoban, Georifters is about platform manipulation, often moving several blocks in one chunk. It is an interesting concept and there are a few hundred levels if this type of puzzle […]
