For the high-score addicts, Anger Foot does feature a leaderboard that you can climb your way up, but most importantly are the challenges featured in each level. Each level has three challenges to attempt that range from the mundane like “Finish level in ____ secs” to more challenging puzzles like...
Iffy platforming aside, reveling in cat mischief is incredibly cathartic, as you can climb up balconies to knock over potted plants and watch them shatter, or trip up pedestrians and run off with their phones or lunch. You’ll also be able to dress your cat up in a variety of...
Something that can’t be understated is Aggro Crab’s effort to bring newcomers to the genre into the space with some really friendly accessibility options here. There’s everything from being able to reduce damage taken by varying degrees to extra health for yourself or less for enemies. You can even...
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown genuinely wants you to explore every inch of its world, and that camera feature is part of it encouraging you to not sweat a spot you’re stumped at and to think back on it when you’re ready. It can be a difficult game at...
If you’re still hankering for more metal-on-metal action, then you’ve got competitive multiplayer to keep you sated, along with the Arena mode. Here you’ll be able to fight against virtual representations of fallen armored core pilots that become increasingly more difficult. This mode is a great way to get practice...
My only issue with the game is that it’s got a few performance and UI quirks that it needs to iron out. I ran into a repeat issue where the game would continually load some older save when I’d hit “continue” from the main menu, requiring me to go back...
And therein lies the issue with Double Dragon Gaiden: besides seeing the different boss fight variations, its core loop isn’t interesting enough to really make you want to run through it multiple times to unlock a bunch of superfluous items. The playable boss characters you can get are cool and...
Love environmental storytelling? Well, Sludge Life 2 LOVES environmental storytelling. Each character you speak to gives a (usually humorous) insight into the world these gonzo characters inhabit; the only unfortunate thing is that, like the first game, Sludge Life 2 seems more content with having you act as a simple...
The game features every weapon you’d likely hope to see from a Warhammer 40k shooter, from your mainstays like the bolter or plasma gun to things like the vengeance launcher and they all feel great to abuse demons with. Something particularly impressive about W40k: Boltgun is how well Auroch Digital...
The only thing I wish Tinykin had more of, was more Tinykin. Besides the main objectives, there’s only a handful of side quests you can do to upgrade Milo’s suit, and a recent update added a series of genuinely challenging time trial races that’ll keep you busy for a time....
Also included in the DLC is “Richter Mode” where you can play as the man himself. After a certain point, you’ll be able to find a caged-up Richter who, after being freed, will allow you to swap to playing as him. Ritcher comes with a fresh set of gear and...
The game is dripping with this unnerving sense of dread. And like before, the necromorphs stand out from other horror game monsters in that there’s a sense of eager maliciousness from them. In a similar vein to the deadites from Evil Dead, there’s the feeling the necromorphs are almost fucking...
