Back at the very beginning of 2024, the very first title I wrote a review for NookGaming was an indie action-platformer named Tevi. The long and short of it for me is that as an action-platformer combining Metroidvania-style exploration, a dynamic 2D combat system, and enemies with bullet hell-themed attacks, Tevi makes for an incredible […]
Devil May Cry is a weird franchise, one that seems to ebb and flow in terms of releases. It’s been a fair few years since a DMC game was released, with nothing announced on the horizon for new installments, and the only activity for the franchise at all coming from a very divisive animated series […]
Kunio and the kids of River City are back again to put on another mythical tale from history in River City Saga: Journey to the West. This time, Kunio is taking center stage as Son Wukong, following the famous tale of Journey to the West. But leaving the mean streets to be the Monkey King […]
Back in 2017, an indie title called Cuphead spurred a massive interest in games made with a classic cartoon art style. Developer Fumi Games channeled a similar retro charm, fusing classic 1930s rubber hose animation style with the black and white seedy underbelly of noir. Does Mouse: P.I. For Hire crack the case, or is […]
Ten seconds is three more than Albert Wesker has to play with you, but it is all you have between you and your next thrill. MULLET MADJACK is hitting the Switch after a successful sprint on Steam and Xbox, and we have been given the task to see if we are badass enough. Are our […]
After years of shifting release dates, Pragmata has finally landed. While delays are never welcome, there is a certain sense of timing to Capcom launching this sci-fi action-adventure title just as humanity completes its first crewed lunar flyby in decades. Let’s just hope that the events of Pragmata stay in the realm of fiction. Sci-Fi […]
The Shinobi series was considered Sega’s answer to Ninja Gaiden back in the late 80s, combining their arcade game know-how with the aesthetics of classic ninja movies. It went on to become quite a celebrated series, with The Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi III being hailed as some of the best games for their respective […]
Ninja Gaiden is going all out celebrating this year with Koei Tecmo’s “Year of the Ninja” campaign, which began with the excellent Ninja Gaiden II Black back in January. While we’re still a ways off from the release of Ninja Gaiden 4 at the time of writing this, what we do have is another major […]
Patapon 1+2 Replay is a 2025 remaster of the first two titles of the Patapon series, which are rhythm games originally released in English for the PlayStation Portable back in 2008. The series is well-known for incorporating army-building strategies into a four-beat rhythm game sequence and for using French artist Rolito’s memorable and cute anthropomorphic […]
Mixing the hack ‘n’ slash action of Warriors/Musou gameplay with roguelite progression, Warriors: Abyss came out of nowhere to put a new spin on the Warriors series. It lets you run through the four levels of hell as over 100 characters from Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, no run being quite the same as the last. […]
