A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Momodora: Expect to Die A Lot Playing as a priestess in a side-scrolling platformer focused on brutal combat, this Metroidvania removes major RPG leveling elements to create a higher degree of accessibility but with a greater ratio of difficulty. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is basically the GBA’s Mega Man Zero in the more open […]
Mixing Some of This With Some of That It is not often to use the phrase “4-player twin-sticker shooter RPG Roguelike” to describe a game but Flying Oak Games’ Neurovoider fits this bill. It is also a wonder as to why a game like this isn’t copied over and over since it is a such […]
RTS Without Battle Also available on Nintendo Switch, New Frontier Days – Founding Pioneers is a casual city building sim that is probably one of the easiest going simulation games ever made. With no true end game or way to “die,” this sim is a great jumping off point for new comers to the genre […]
Encore A mix between Tetris and Lumines, Chime Sharp is music-based puzzle game that is a direct sequel to 2009’s Chime. With simple to learn but difficult to master gameplay, Chime Sharp has plenty of replay value despite having a high difficult level. From a visual standpoint, it might seem like there is a lot […]
Now With More Dieabetus Ah yes, spring time. You know what that means – allergies, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, and marshmallow Peeps are on the way. Never satisfied with the status quo, Oreo is not afraid to branch out into uncharted territory. Peanut butter, red velvet cream cheese, berry filled, and even […]
Turning Off Autocorrect At is heart, Typoman Revised is a word-based puzzle platformer that is basically Limbo but with the addition of word puzzles. Originally released on PC and the Wii U eShop, Typoman is now available on Xbox One and PS4 with the “Revised” tag embedded in the official name. Set in a dark […]
These Toys Are Not Fun Using the word “Metroidvania” to describe a game usually is enough to make gamers salivate. While Toy Odyssey: The Lost and Found is an action/platformer/RPG, it is also a roguelike. It is just too bad that the package winds up losing players in the dark, literally. The player takes control […]
Catch A Wave Ported from iOS devices, Riptide GP: Renegade is an accessible, arcadey racer that does an admirable job at creating easy-going entertainment with a budget value. It isn’t deep by any means but shoots straightforward as a gaming pleasure when enjoyed in ten-minute bursts. Watch my Twitch steam of Riptide GP: Renegade below […]
Deceivingly Difficult 8DAYS looks and plays like a simple top-down action adventure but do not be deceived by this twin stick shooter. The difficulty level is exceedingly high, cheap in many ways, that requires patience and near perfect play-throughs to complete. Rage quitters be warned. Presented through BadLand Games and Santa Clara Games, 8DAYS is […]
Slow Shooting Ported from the mobile environment, Dead Effect 2 is a FPS created by a small team of developers that isn’t necessarily designed to be the next Halo or Call of Duty. Instead, gameplay is rather straightforward (go here, shoot this, protect that, open this, etc) and environmental design repeats but there is just […]
