Lil' Guardsman
Lil’ Guardsman caught my attention from the moment I first saw it announced. Its adorable art still and quirky humor looked right up my alley. Even though I was initially concerned that it might be a touch too casual, I was still eager to check it out. Now after having...
Sea of Stars was one of my most highly anticipated games of 2023. I’d been following the development journey after seeing its Kickstarter back in 2020. After becoming enamored with Sabotage Studio’s previous game, The Messenger, I knew they had the skills to deliver an amazing game, even if it...
Invincible was an unexpected delight when it first aired back in 2021. Based off the graphic novel series from Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, Invincible is an animated series for adults centered around the teenage son of the world’s strongest superhero, Omni-Man. From complex characters, to vulgar humor,...
Licensed tie-in games have come a long way since the shovelware garbage we use to get back in the late 90s and early to mid 2000s. Still, these types of games remain a bit of a mixed bag. For every good licensed kart racing game, like Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2...
High on Life from Squanch Games was one of the funniest and most surprising games I played last year. As an avid fan of Rick & Morty, High on Life‘s fast-paced, raunchy humor had me in stitches. That’s not even taking into account the delightful gift of being able to...
With so many highly anticipated AAA being released this year, such as Starfield, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur’s Gate 3, Diablo IV, and the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, gamers have been having a stellar time all throughout 2023. There’s almost a little too many fantastic games...
Communication is one of the most important aspects of civilization. It’s the foundation for how well we thrive as a community and as a species as a whole. Without the ability to understand one another, miscommunications can lead to tension, mistrust, and the inability to coordinate necessary tasks. That is...
Have you ever had your fortune told? I have, and the results were… hilariously mixed. From tarot readings from my school friends just learning to the craft (which lead to wildly outlandish results), to a self-professed genuine medium who read my palm (which turned out to be scarily accurate), to...
It seems like every two years we’re given another Agatha Christie game. Surprisingly, for taking such beloved characters and brilliant source material, the majority of the games we’ve gotten have been mediocre at best, such as Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders and Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot – The First Cases....
Blasphemous was the surprise hit of 2019, impressing both critics and players in equal measure. By combining the exploration style of metroidvanias with the brutal combat of soulslikes, it answered the prayers of many gamers the world over. Its visceral, gothic setting and rich lore left many fans clamoring for...
Venba
I first saw Visai Games’ Venba during Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase in late 2022. As someone who loves to cook, part of what grabbed my attention was the cooking simulation element of the game. However, that’s a very small part of what piqued my interest. What really got me eager...
Dordogne
Mon Dieu. After eagerly awaiting Dordogne to release for over a year now, I was elated to finally get my hands on it. A narrative-focused adventure set within the French countryside, depicted through watercolor paintings? Dordogne seemed like it was tailor-made for me. Unfortunately, I came to discover that its...
