Bladed Fury – Review | Big Trouble in Ancient China
While there’s no shortage of games set in Japan, most gamers probably associate ancient China with Dynasty Warriors. China has a rich mythology of its own, one that seems like fertile ground for more games to explore. Bladed Fury, a stylish 2D action platformer from NExT Studios, aims to do just that. Let’s see how […]
Fallen Legion Revenants – Review
If I were to describe an RPG, I’d specify three things: exploration, a level system, and a captivating story. Unfortunately, Fallen Legion Revenants struggles with or outright precludes these. I do think there are some interesting ideas all the same. The battle system is unlike most that I’ve seen and the hand-drawn aesthetic is beautiful. […]
Neptunia Virtual Stars – Review | A Nep Letter to VTubers
I have a problem, one which I think I should share with you all… I am obsessed with the Neptunia franchise. Why is that? I’d say it’s the same reason I like Super Smash Brothers; it’s a love letter to gaming’s history! It’s not just that though; it also has a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor […]
The Walking Dead Onslaught – VR Review
As someone who has been playing virtual reality games since the first consumer Oculus headset came out, I have seen and played many zombie games on VR. Some were mediocre and some were quite fun. For The Walking Dead Onslaught though, this game’s main attraction is the familiarity of the characters brought to life in virtual reality, […]
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights – Review
Early Access games can oftentimes be a huge gamble! It can serve as a developer’s chance to make a solid first impression, but if they botch the landing, they’ve just lost a potential purchase when the full game releases. It’s a risk to be sure, but the biggest benefit it offers is that anyone who […]
ANNO: Mutationem – Demo Preview
Cyberpunk has certainly come back in a big way! Being popularised by Blade Runner in 1982, this idealistic interpretation of the future still hasn’t lost its luster after almost 40 years! While everyone is gushing over CD Project Red’s latest release, Cyberpunk 2077 and its many, maaany glitches, a little title has snuck itself in between with a fully […]
Immortals Fenyx Rising – Review | A New Hero Emerges
Immortals Fenyx Rising wasn’t on my radar until shortly before release. A new action-adventure IP by Ubisoft with mythology themes and gameplay that many have compared to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It certainly sounds like a winning formula, so I had to check it out. Shipmates of Stone You play the […]
One Finger Death Punch 2 Review – Simplicity at it’s Finest
One Finger Death Punch 2 brings me back to my younger days when all I would play are flash games online — and that’s not a bad thing. Games like One Finger Death Punch 2 show that sometimes a core simplistic gameplay loop is all you need to ensure an enjoyable game that provides hours of entertainment and […]
Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition – Review
Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition came along at a perfect time for me. The original had been lingering on my wishlist since launch and I hadn’t quite pulled the (devil) trigger. Seeing a new and improved version to test out on my brand new PlayStation 5 though? I couldn’t resist. For those less familiar, […]
