A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Sequel to Ravva and the Cyclops Curse, Ravva and the Phantom Library is more of the same but that is perfectly okay since the original was so gosh darn charming. Presented in a retro 8-bit visual style, you play as Ravva, an owl in a wizard hat, who can summon a few friendly deities at […]
Published by Ratalaika Games and available on all major platforms, Hirilun is a monochrome time-based platformer with a difficult to pronounce name. The goal is to get through the intricate obstacle courses in the shortest amount of time to earn a 3-star ranking. Unfortunately, this time-trail-based first person platformer is unplayable for me as there […]
Ultracore is a lost Sega Genesis game (Mega Drive) that was basically completed in 1994. Publisher Psygnosis decided to pull the plug at the finish line since next gen consoles were on the horizon. It was then released on Switch and Analogue’s Mega Sg a couple years ago but is now available digitally on Xbox. […]
A Vampires Survivors clone, Stickman’s Arena carries the same overall gameplay as the sweeping cult favorite but without the same level of polish and replay value. The main stick figure guy on the main menu also has Goku hair but isn’t depicted in-game for some reason. Playing as a stickman, it is your job to […]
Presented in a 4-tone visual style, Hell Well is a top-down grid-based action title with elements of tower defense. Dying is inevitable but the goal is to survive for as long as possible with its ever-increasing horde mode gameplay. You play as a demon defending territory from angels. Armed with a fireball ranged attack on […]
Clockwork Aquario was originally developed in 1992 by Westone but never released. At the time, 3D arcade games were the new hot thing so releasing a 2D title might not have done well so it was scrapped at the last minute. Then, in late 2021, this forgotten action game was released on PS4 and Switch. […]
First released on the Mega Drive in 1994, Panorama Cotton was ported to PS4 and Switch in late 2021 and is now available on Xbox. For more detail, check out my article on the PS4 version as everything basically applies here in this Xbox version. Making a change from the typical side-scrolling gameplay of many […]
Originally a late Super Famicom release, later ported to PS4 and Switch in 2021, Cotton 100% is now available on Xbox thanks to the efforts of Ratalaika, ININ, and Success. For reference, pretty much everything mentioned in my PS4 Cotton 100% article also applies here so I don’t want to repeat myself too much. In […]
This week, Gillman and I play some Goat Simulator 3 because it just appeared on GamePass. This game is totally Goat Simulator x10.
Released about a year and a half ago on PS4/Switch, Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined is now available on Xbox. Awesome to see Natsume games on a Microsoft console. Hopefully more are on the way. Everything mentioned in my original PS4 Review, which can be viewed HERE, stands true with this Xbox port. In short, this […]
