Maquette
I have spoken many times about how much respect I have for Annapurna Interactive. They have made it their mission to publish games that are usually a far cry from the norm. While not all of their titles achieve the success they were hoping for, such as Telling Lies, most...
Dry Drowning
Visual novels are a particularly tough genre to make an appealing game out of. Since there’s usually a lack of traditional gameplay elements, they need to have a solid story and striking art design in order to keep people interested. While the majority fade into obscurity, there are some like...
It seems that many point-and-click adventure games from the 80’s and 90’s are having new life breathed into them. Some have gotten full reboots, like Sierra’s King’s Quest series that saw brand new episodic adventures in 2015, while others like Beneath a Steel Sky were given long awaited sequels, like...
Gamers have been clamoring for a new Star Fox game ages. Yes we did technically get a new iteration with Star Fox Zero in 2016 for the Wii U, but the less we talk about that trainwreck, the better. Still, there’s been a noticeable void in the entertaining, space-themed, rail shooter...
I’m a fan of Supermassive Games and have been ever since Until Dawn. While their games don’t always deliver on scares, they’re still an enjoyable experience, for the most part. Rush of Blood is still one of my favorite VR games to date and I wish they would release another...
Spiritfarer
I’m not typically a big fan of management sims, but something about Spiritfarer from Thunder Lotus Games caught my attention. Perhaps it was the clean and adorable art style, or maybe even its premise that piqued my curiosity. All I know is that I’ve been curious about this game for...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Annapurna Interactive is a publisher that consistently puts out totally unique games. While they don’t always have the impact they’re going for with titles like Telling Lies or Donut County, there’s no denying that they back truly original ideas. However, Some of...
Somehow, I’d never played Observer until now. I honestly have no idea why, especially considering how many thrillers, horror games, and walking sims I’ve played. It’s not like I hadn’t heard about it either. Several of my colleagues have been raving about it for years, with our own Leo Faria...
Just Dance is a game that needs no introduction. After twelve entries into the franchise, I think it’s safe to say that we all know what it’s about. Get some friends together, select a song, and shake your money maker. Admittedly, I’d only played Just Dance a couple of times...
I’ve had my eye on Raji: An Ancient Epic ever since I first saw a trailer for it several months ago. Countless games have depicted Greek, Norse, and Japanese cultures over the years, but this is one of the first games I’ve seen that focuses on Indian culture. While I...
Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty! is a ground-up remake of the original game that started it all, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, which first graced our consoles back in 1997. Oddworld: New ‘N’ Tasty! was first released back in 2014, but has now finally made it to the Switch. I didn’t play New...
I’ve been a long time fan of Agatha Christie’s novels, with And Then There Were None being one of my all time favorites. So naturally, I was drawn to a game based on one of her most popular books. Add in the fact that it’s an investigative puzzle game and...
