Well Dweller doesn’t overplay its hand. It may seem incomprehensible at first glance, but through its thoughtful design, gorgeous artstyle and engaging combat it feels like another one of those must-play indie Metroidvanias. I have yet to play Crypt Custodian or Islets, but Kyle Thompson is now absolutely on my...
So no, I did not like LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. A game that uses the Batman license to upsell you DLC, costumes and references the second you boot up the game. Did you know you get special costumes if you link your HBO Max account to the...
Toem 2
Sequels tend to get lost in the weeds of expanding scope, but Something We Made set out to simply improve and build upon what made the original TOEM pretty engaging. TOEM 2 is not groundbreaking. You may only notice the improvements when putting it side-by-side with the original. That is...
Sniper Dan
I do love a good hide-and-seek like experience. Hidden Folks sold me on its charm with the cute visuals and audio design. And I had hoped to get something similar out of Sniper Dan. Where perception is rewarded. But in the end, I got bored fairly quickly. Viewing the world...
I cannot describe Onimusha: Way of the Sword as anything other than a massive surprise. While I have dabbled in the occasional soulslike-action game, Onimusha’s mechanics feel rewarding whether you are a newcomer or expert in this particular genre. Overall it leans more towards the Jedi: Fallen Order scale than...
While I do think that playing Rise of the Tomb Raider is pretty clunky and has not aged particularly well, I still had a fun time experiencing the game for the first time on Nintendo Switch 2. Over the course of a weekend I completed the main story, explored all...
To a T
To A T was for me nothing short of a disappointment. I was expecting a fun and colorful story from the creative mind of the creator of Katamari Damacy. And while it may be unfair to put those expectations on a game with a wildly different approach to game design,...
Some of my favorite indie approaches to the modern 3D platformer, such as Tinykin, Blue Fire, A Hat in Time and Demon Tides, have these movement mechanics that I never get tired of exploring. I think Bubsy 4D is a great and focused contender in the 'expressive platformer' genre. While...
Mixtape
All this is to say that while playing Mixtape I was mesmerized by its world and characters, but the very next morning I am struggling to think of what I actually experienced. As easy as the comparison is to something like Life is Strange or perhaps even Sayonara Wild Hearts...
Overall Constance is a consistent and solid action platformer. With a gorgeous visual style and satisfying combat, I’ve had a lot of fun across the board. While the boss battles can be a major spike in difficulty, it was the perseverance-mechanic and world design that kept me coming back. It...
