SteamWorld Dig is an addictive mining platformer deserving of the praise it gets. I’m furious with myself for not picking up this gem earlier, and guilty that I got it at half price. Following its purchase during Black Friday, I’ve been playing it nonstop and at a furious pace. I can still feel the curve of the 3DS in my hands even after I set it down to go about my day. I’m well aware the game released in 2013 and that I’m four years late to the party, but as the saying goes, it’s better late than never.
Ruiner turned heads when it was announced last year and I was instantly smitten with its chilling cyberpunk aesthetic and action-driven gameplay. Drawing inspiration from anime like Akira and movies like Blade Runner, Reikon Games has successfully created a violent, dystopian world where murder is currency and trust is obsolete. The year is 2091, and playing with people’s lives has never been easier.
Root Letter is the first title in the Kadokawa Game Mystery series with contributions from key staff who worked on Konami’s LovePlus series, like character designer Mino Taro. When it was first announced, I was drawn in by the gorgeous art and knew I needed to play it. Other than its art, Root Letter also interested me with this line:
When Dishonored was first announced in 2012, I never imagined it would join the ranks of my favourite games. The gameplay, characters, and setting captured my heart and never let go. The city of Dunwall became one of the most memorable video-game settings I’d ever come across. Dishonored’s tale of revenge might be predictable or lacking to some, but the enjoyment I gained from its distinct art style and masterful gameplay is undeniable.
