A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
The Mooseman, now available on XSX and PS5 with visual enhancements over the original release, is a game that is much more focused on the narrative and overall experience than the actual gameplay. It is not bad, just different. Because this game is so far out there, it feels like a Nakana.io title when in […]
With the recent release of Beat Souls, it seems that music rhythm games are making a bit of a resurgence since the fad died from the overcrowded Guitar Hero and Rock Band days. Music Racer: Ultimate takes a slightly different approach by tasking players by driving over notes with a car but the end result […]
A single player first person puzzle game, Summertime Madness is a walking simulator and has similar gameplay to In Rays Of The Light, another Sometimes You published title. Without a UI or any direction on what to do, the landscape subtly guides the player on where to go next, creating a memorable experience. There is […]
Energy Cycle Edge is a simple puzzle game, just align colored blobs, but takes a tremendous amount of skill to complete. If you like a thinking-based challenge where you have to plan several moves ahead, this is your game. Color starburst space blobs are placed in rows and columns. Clicking any blob will change the […]
Another low cost, simple digital download by Sometimes You, Catty & Batty: The Spirit Guide is basically a ChuChu Rocket-lite. Instead of guiding mice to an exit while avoiding cats like in Sega’s neglected multiplayer puzzler, players take control of a hand drawn cat (or a bat) to guide spirits to a goal. ChuChu Rocket […]
Originally starting as a hobby and the product of hack-a-thons, Alveole is an experimental puzzle game built about a single theme – cage. With a unique minimalistic presentation and only using a single button, Alveole isn’t a bad game by any means, just a really odd one with limited replay value. Playing as a stick […]
Originally released in 2012 as The Light, In Rays of the Light, published by Sometimes You, is a self-guided walking simulator. Playing as a solo man with no indication on where to go or what to do, the ultimate goal is to explore an abandoned city block that is empty, dreary, but still creepily beautiful. […]
Tons of credit must be given to Sometimes You and Pigeon Dev Games for releasing one of the last games to be commercially available on the PlayStation Vita. Witchcrafty, a Metroidvanai-lite, feels like it is the younger brother of Sometimes You’s other favorable platformer, Sir Lovelot, while incorporating the wonderfully composed techno-y tunes of Explosive […]
Mind Maze is a simple puzzle game where you and your opponent alternate placing lines on a tiled grid. The player who completes the square, essentially the 4th line, gets a point and another immediate turn. In other words, it is exactly the same pen and paper game called Dots And Boxes only here it […]
The latest release by Sometimes You, Arkan: The Dog Adventurer takes classic Arkanoid (single player Pong) and turns it into a thoughtful twin-stick shooter. The approach is so simple but yet so effective it is a wonder why this formula has not been demonstrated previously. Playing as a wizard Shiba Inu, the goal is to […]
