A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A platformer with puzzle game elements, Sephonie is a unexpected gameplay experience. Centering around three scientists that have been stranded on an island, the trio must work together, explore their environment, and create neuro links with animals. The meat of the gameplay comes from typical 3D platforming traversal, complete with jump pads, grapple points, and […]
EchoBlade deserves some credit for trying something different. Playing as a blind swordsman, the goal is to escape a vast dungeon by collecting a bunch of keys, killing a ton of mindless guards, and avoiding traps along the way. Both the gameplay and presentation is simple, yet approachable, but to a fault. Even though it […]
Not every multiplayer game requires a dedicated controller for each player. Instead, some games offered creative multiplayer offerings by having two players SHARE the same controller (or handheld console) – 2 players, 1 controller. In this video, I highlight a total of 8 games that made use of this creative multiplayer concept (2 of the […]
Described as a hot and tasty retro-inspired action platformer, Garlic is loaded with ridiculous platforming goodness. It rides a firm line between being too difficult and being too easy, has a creative visual presentation, and quality stage design. For an indie platformer, this is easily one of the best I’ve been in a good while. […]
Originally released on PS4 and Vita about five years ago, Reverie: Sweet As Edition takes the top-down real combat action RPG mechanics of Zelda: A Link To the Past and mixes it with the spritework of Earthbound. Due to the low difficulty, this remains a casual and laid-back experience from beginning to end. Playing as […]
Retrotainment Games and 8-Bit Legit deserve a lot of credit for creating Full Quiet, a new 8-bit NES game with mysterious, challenging, open-world gameplay. The scope of this game is massive but unfortunately its ambition bites off more than it can chew. Essentially playing as forest ranger, it is your job to solve puzzles, survive […]
Taking place after the events of Super Meat Boy Forever, Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine has adopted Team Meat’s gory platforming mechanics into a puzzler that mimics Puyo Puyo while making a pun on Sega’s Dr. Robonik’s Mean Bean Machine. Simply put, it is a single player match-4 puzzle game with buzzsaws. Surprisingly, not only […]
Microsoft announced the following games will be free in July 2023 for Xbox Gold/Ultimate subscribers. Darkwood Roam by day, survive the night. Darkwood is a different type of survival horror game that builds tension through slow-burn atmosphere without relying on jump scares. While the sun is out, explore an open world of the corrupted woods […]
Easily described as a chibi-Contra, Brave Soldier: Invasion of the Cyborgs is a pleasant run’n gun action title developed by a small indie team and published by EastAsiaSoft. Playing as a cute commando, it is your job to stop an alien invasion of cyborgs that are all palette swapped ninjas. Gameplay remains simple throughout the […]
Defined as an action exploration odyssey, Nocturnal is essentially a Metroidvania without the Metroid. Although there are some environmental puzzles to solve, this quest is more focused on action as opposed to backtracking while keeping the darkness away with a badass flame sword. From the opening cutscene, the dark tone is set, letting the player […]
