A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
For whatever reason, I noticed a couple trends in gaming over the last few years – there seem to be more and more walking simulators and many games seem to be starring foxes. Lost Dream: Darkness mixes these two popular inclinations into a game that, well, isn’t exactly a game. Controlling a fox, the goal […]
A retro 2D platformer with slight Metroid gameplay, Adventures of Poppe has its heart in the right place but is bogged down with tedious backtracking, cheap difficulty, and the lack of direction. Poppe is young boy that is either very tiny or he has been placed in a very large world as the entire campaign […]
This week, Gillman and I play some Mugen Souls on Switch which is a re-release of the PS3/PC original.
Flynn’s Arcade, publisher of the quality retro throwback Donut Dodo, just released Papertris, a new puzzle game on Switch and it only costs five smackers. Misleadingly, Papertris doesn’t have anything in common in Tetris other than being a puzzle game. Instead, this one or two-player game plays much more like Columns since a column of […]
Originally released for smartphones, FurryFury: Smash & Roll is a top-down flicking bump brawler. It might sound a little strange, but the gameplay is rather creative and reminds me a lot of Squid’s Odyssey. You know how in pool/billiards where you have to knock the cue ball into other balls and ricochet them into pockets? […]
After 70-80 hours of playing through the campaign, without losing a single troop, I managed to reach the final battle in Tactics Ogre: Reborn (PS4, digital version). In order the reach this battle, the player must endure a massive 20+ unending string of fights, each taking at least 30 minutest to complete. While it is […]
Originally released as a mobile game, Kraino Origins is a retro SNES-style action platformer that feels right at home on Switch. Caught somewhere between Shovel Knight and the original NES Ninja Gaiden, players will have plenty of tough-but-fair levels to traverse and enemies to best. Playing as a skeleton that uses a scythe as a […]
Following the classic Metroid-like formula, Pronty is an action-adventure title set under the sea, but it separates itself by including a couple main gameplay tweaks, for better and worse. You control Pronty, a sea creature that just started his duty of being a Protector when bad fishies start to invade. Even though you have not […]
Mega Cat Studios and #8-BitLegit, known for publishing new old games, just celebrated the launch of Roniu’s Tale on both physical NES cart and digitally on Switch. Inspired by puzzle games like Solomon’s Key and Adventures of Lolo, this Kunjee Studios developed action puzzler’s 47 levels will twist your brain and load it with nostalgia. […]
This week, me and Gillman got a Switch code for Remorse: The List before the game became commercially available. But if you are watching this, the game is now available. This is actually our 2nd stream of this game because the first stream had some technical issues. Which is fine because here we were able […]
