The Oculus Quest 2 (later rebranded as the Meta Quest 2) is one of the cheapest ways into room-scale virtual reality (VR). Working both standalone and with PC VR – that is connected to a PC, it’s also one of the most flexible systems. As an advocate of getting more people to experience VR, I […]
What is the Numskull Steering Wheel for Nintendo Switch? This item seems to go by many names depending on which online retailer you look at. The title on the Numskull website is a bit wordy, but describes it best – the ‘Numskull Nintendo Switch Joy Con Steering Wheel Table Attachment’. Attach the Numskull Steering Wheel to […]
July – the month a little gem called CrossCode came to Nintendo Switch. An action RPG with strong influence from Secret of Mana. So, I’ll put my cards on the table here. Truth is, I’ve had this review code for some time, but it was continuously delayed. And now that we’re halfway through December, it seems redundant to cover […]
The year was 2015, and a little game known as Bloodborne was unleashed. Now, I was never much for the Dark Souls franchise myself. The punishing gameplay was enough to frighten me off. Something was enchanting about that release though. It was utterly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. So, I dove in headfirst and got immensely frustrated. I’ve never wanted […]
Marketed as a sequel to Tokyo Chronos, Altdeus: Beyond Chronos is a virtual reality visual novel. Virtual reality being a niche of its own and visual novels being an even smaller one, this is a rather rare pairing with only a handful of titles existing like this. Interested in an immersive sci-fi anime experience with […]
Recently, it seems that retro shooters are making a comeback. Not just with the new reboots of franchises such as DOOM, Wolfenstein, and Shadow Warrior, but amazing indie throwback titles that have been popping up around, like Dusk, Ion Fury, and Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, just to name a few. All of these bring the essence of […]
I’ve always been a fan of the Roguelike genre. Games like Dead Cells still maintain a high amount of accumulated hours played on my Nintendo Switch. These titles are inherently repetitive, but they still maintain a semblance of progression. It wasn’t until last year that I’d dive into the Mystery Dungeon sub-genre and found that I loved it. So when I saw the Nintendo Direct that […]
A couple of years ago, I was invited to a closed beta. It was for a punishing roguelite archery game called In Death. Roguelites aren’t usually my forte, but I took up the bow and arrow in virtual reality and was sliced, shot, and stabbed as I inched my way further and further, learning from […]
Side-scrolling beat ’em ups have widely been considered a thing since 1984. A legacy of slowly waddling left to right, swinging swords, and throwing punches at whatever orc, demon or hoodlum dare cross your path. Wonder Blade, developed by East2west Games, comes barreling into the fray – armed and ready for some glorious noodle-slapping carnage. […]
As both a Dane and an Englishman, I often feel an ancestral conflict deep in my core. Sure, I was born on the shores of England, but my great-great-great (you get the point) grandpappy probably popped over to your equally-great gran’s abode and raided her pantry. Due to the rising popularity of Viking culture in […]
