Devastator Review

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch (reviewed), PC Devastator touts itself as being a retro-inspired twin-stick shooter that is polished to the point of being the most intense and satisfying twin-stick shooter experience possible. It also claims to have such a surprising amount of depth and subtlety that it offers […]

Battle for Blood Review

Platforms: Nintendo Switch (reviewed), Steam, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac Battle for Blood’s gameplay is typical of many match-three puzzle games as you’ll be moving tiles left, right, up, or down to create horizontal or vertical matches. Where this game changes things up is each specific tile is associated with a type of soldier. Creating matches […]

LumbearJack Review

Platforms: Nintendo Switch (reviewed), Steam The first time I laid eyes on LumbearJack was a couple of weeks ago during the Wholesome Direct Indie Game Showcase. I was immediately drawn to its cute and colorful, almost papercraft-style graphics. It also didn’t hurt that the game was about a bear smashing the crap out of things […]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Review

Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch (reviewed), PC, Linux I should probably preface this review by mentioning that I, like a lot of people my age, have been a big Ninja Turtles fan for nearly as long as I can remember.

Destropolis Review

Platforms: Nintendo Switch (reviewed), Microsoft Windows At first glance, you might be wondering just what the hell kind of game Destropolis is. Well, it turns out that it’s a top-down twin-stick shooter with a fully destructible environment. If I hadn’t just played it, that probably wouldn’t have been my first guess, judging by the way […]

Nexomon: Extinction Review

Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Nintendo Switch, Android, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Mac, and iOS Nexomon: Extinction is a game I’ve been planning on playing for a while now. I’m a big Pokémon fan and I’ve exhausted nearly all the content that the franchise has to offer, so I thought I’d branch out and try some […]

Princess Farmer Review

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One (reviewed), PlayStation 4, Steam, Epic Store Princess Farmer is a match-three puzzle game meets visual novel. As things begin, we find our cute bunny protagonist doing what they thought was some normal farming. As they harvest some vegetables, they stumble upon a tube of lipstick. This is no ordinary tube […]

Young Souls Review

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One (reviewed), PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, Google Stadia In a week where I reviewed two beat ‘em up/brawler games, if someone would have told me beforehand that I’d enjoy the one about a couple of teenagers trying to save their dad more than the one about giant monsters slapping the shit […]
