Battletoads Review
Platforms: Xbox One (reviewed) and Microsoft Windows It’s been over 25 years since the world has been graced with a Battletoads game. My first and only experience with the franchise came with the 1991 NES game. This game is infamous for its punishing difficulty and like a lot of people, I was never able to […]
A Quarter Century of Chasing a High
I opened up Twitter and saw Yasumi Matsuno had tweeted something about Tactics Ogre. Then it clicked – today is the 25th anniversary of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together releasing in Japan on the Super Famicom. It struck me just how young not only I was, but video games in general were, when it […]
Spelunky 2 Review
Platforms: PlayStation 4 (reviewed) and Microsoft Windows Eight years ago I reviewed a little indie game called Spelunky. At the time I enjoyed it and gave it a five star review, but little did I know in the years following, it would become one of my favorite games ever made. Needless to say, I’m coming […]
Children of Morta Review
Platforms: Xbox One, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Classic Mac OS Family has always been the most important thing in my life. If a movie, television show, or game has a depiction of a caring, tight-knit family at the core of its story, I’m almost certainly on board. Children of Morta offers […]
Paradise Killer – Joesph Joestar: Ace Attorney
My journey with Paradise Killer has been a strange one thus far. It’s only been a few hours and I’ve already run through the gauntlet of how I feel about it. On paper, it’s a fairly simple premise – solve a murder by running around the island and finding clues, investigating leads, and finally, present […]
DOOM Eternal Review
Platforms: Playstation 4, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Windows (reviewed) DOOM Eternal is a massive disappointment. Believe me, I take no pleasure in typing that, which incidentally, is a little less pleasure that I get from playing through this game’s overwrought campaign. DOOM (2016) was that rate game that defies expectations and ends up setting […]
Panzer Dragoon: Remake Review
Platforms: Stadia, Switch (reviewed), and Windows Panzer Dragoon is one of those imperfect perfect games. When it came out for the Saturn, it was used as ammunition in the console wars. It was a game that bolstered the arcade expertise of Sega’s developers to make a game of pure spectacle. The game’s desolate world overrun with […]
Wunderling Review
Platforms: Switch and Windows (Steam) As I’ve gotten older, platformers have become less and less appealing to me. I’m not sure when it happened, but I don’t find too much joy in them anymore. They seem to be either designed to be a good entrance point for someone more new to them, which is not […]
Glass Masquerade Review
Platforms: PC/Mac (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 (reviewed), Xbox One, Google Play The introduction of trophies and achievements into video games has been a blessing and a curse. On one hand, they may push us to do things we otherwise might not, allowing us to get more out of our games. For me though, seeing […]
