I played Spirit of the North back when it first released in 2019. I had said at that time that I might go back and replay it to obtain all the shaman staffs to see if it unlocked a different ending, but I never did revisit it. While I had enjoyed...
Most of us have grown up hearing about urban legends, like the man with a hook for a hand terrorizing teenagers trying to make out, or the Loch Ness Monster, or even Polybius, the famed ultra-rare video game that caused migraines and even heart attacks to those who played it....
Europa
Sometimes you just want to pick up a game and shut your brain off. Hence why games like Abzu, A Short Hike, and Journey are so popular. Europa instantly grabbed my attention thanks to its beautiful Breath of the Wild inspired art style, exploration-based gameplay, and promises of a captivating narrative. All...

Every once in a while, there’s a game that is able to not only catch your attention visually, but is also able to deliver a rewarding and satisfying experience on a deeply emotional level. Spiritfarer, is one example that I still think about quite often for its (mostly) optimistic view...

Being a detective isn’t easy. Sometimes you have to look at the darkest crimes imaginable. Sometimes you have to observe humanity at its worst. Other times you have to enact vigilante justice upon the seedy underbelly of society. Then there are those rare times when you have to solve the...
Indika
One of the greatest accomplishments a game can achieve is to deliver a unique experience. To present itself in a way that makes it stand apart from the millions of games circulating the market. INDIKA from developer Odd Meter is a game that undeniably delivers an experience unlike any other.
The original version of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons from Starbreeze Studios was released in 2013, and was met with both consumer and critical acclaim. Now over ten years later, AvantGarden Games has teamed up with 505 Games to re-release this indie daring in the form of Brothers: A...
Even with all the narrative-driven adventures out there, something about As Dusk Falls immediately caught my attention. Maybe it was the instantly eye-catching art design? Alright, sure, that was almost definitely what did the trick, but after watching the trailer I could tell that there was something more to the...
