It takes a lot of courage to try to release a competitor to Nintendo’s Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, considering how everyone and their mother bought the latest iteration in the life simulator back when it was released in the same day as Doom Eternal, way back in 2020. But that’s what Dinkum, a game published by the people behind Subnautica and PUBG, but developed by a single Australian bloke, is trying to do. By being basically Animal Crossing but set in Australia, it is tryin...
Horror movie fans are well-aware of the Terrifier franchise, a series of low-budget slasher movies that pushed gore and violence to extreme levels, becoming massively profitable cult hits known as “those movies with the mute clown that make people vomit and faint”. Unlike most slasher franchises, Terrifier is also well-liked by critics, making it stand out from the myriad of shoestring-budgeted horror flicks meant solely to capitalize on their small production costs. One thing I wasn’t ...
Originally released as a Playstation exclusive back in 1998, R-Type Delta was a gem of its time. Owing to the release of a few polygonal competitors a few years prior, as well as the power and popularity of the PS1, Irem’s first foray into a polygonal shoot ’em up garnered massive acclaim due to its visuals and cinematic appeal, all while retaining the franchise’s traditional elements of blowing up multiple enemies at once onscreen, as well as dying in a single hit. That being said, the...
What do you expect from a sequel? What makes one worth the wait? Most of the time, you want the continuation of a well-estabilished story, the addition of new features, more content, improved visuals, and so on. If a studio decides to release a sequel to a well-liked game in which very little has changed, more often than not we call that a cash grab. Just look at the yearly releases of sports titles for further proof. But there’s always an exception to the rule. There are cases in which we ...
To believe that two of the biggest “that will never see the light of day” games of all time, Hollow Knight: Silksong and Metroid Prime 4, are now out. To believe that, despite all odds, despite multiple delays, immense periods of radio silence, and people just getting fed up of waiting, both titles would not only come out, but also end up being bangers. So this is the first big takeaway from this review: I get that a lot of people are dunking on Metroid Prime 4 for being some kind of a di...
There are games that you know, right from the getgo, the moment they get announced, that they will be hits. All you need to see is a few seconds of footage, learn the premise, and take a look at the team developing said title. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a perfect example of that. Just the thought of a brand new Marvel beat ’em up, something clearly inspired by 90s classics such as Konami’s X-Men game, was already enough to make me look forward towards it, but finding out it was being made ...
I’m always up for a new racing game with real-life cars and tracks, especially when it’s not something overly niche like motorcycles or trucks. Project Motor Racing comes from the studio known as Straight4, a phoenix studio of sorts, comprised of former members from Slightly Mad Studios, the makers of the now-defunct Project CARS series. Over the following years, the studio went from being a competent Need for Speed developer to the owner of its own racing IP, a team that went slightly ma...
D3 Publisher is known for making games that aren’t particularly polished or developed with the highest of budgets, but they’re almost always somewhat charming due to their simplistic gameplay loops and irreverent B-tier charm. They are the IP holders of both Onee Chanbara and Earth Defense Force, after all, so you can always count on them when it comes to releasing a cheap, dumb, yet fun Japanese action game. Full Metal Schoolgirl, their latest release, developed by Yuke’s, follows the ...
The vast majority of SpongeBob Squarepants 3D platformers are actually much better than they have any right to be, but 2023’s The Cosmic Shake was one hell of a surprise to all of us. THQ Nordic and Purple Lamp went out of their way to deliver a perfect combination of great visuals, solid platforming, and hilarious fanservice, culminating in what was, at the time, the best SpongeBob game ever made. Yes, even better than Battle for Bikini Bottom. So when THQ announced a sequel to that game, ...
For as much as I like the overall aesthetics of the cyberpunk genre, I think it has both peaked and reached a point of utter saturation after the release of CD Projekt Red’s own Cyberpunk 2077. What else would anyone even be able to do with such a premise? Not only that, but that would eventually result in a LOT (and I do mean, a gigantic LOT) of games following the same premise. Nowadays, how to even make a cyberpunk-themed game stand out? You gotta make something downright impressive to s...
