American Arcadia is a stunning narrative-driven adventure that tells its story in a unique and immersive manner. Brimming with innovation, each moment offers up new ideas that help to create a well-paced, engaging experience. For those looking for a fresh and unique take on interactive storytelling, this delivers a memorable...
Palia
Aside from being an MMORPG and having the cooperative multiplayer element not always found in cozy life sims, Palia doesn’t really stray far from the formula. I can certainly understand gamers vibing with Palia’s gentle, appealing world. Thanks to playing with others, it can easily be a nice little alternate...
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is incredibly polished and option-filled. It’s a must-own collection for retro fighting game fans. Lots of these games have been trapped in arcade and Sega Dreamcast exclusivity. There are lots of players out there chomping at the bit for modern versions of the Capcom vs. SNK...
Post Trauma
Post Trauma is a loving tribute to those early generation survival horror games. It contains the best and worst attributes of said games. Thanks to today’s technology in terms of computing power and game engines like Unreal 5, Post Trauma has high production values. The creators’ respect for the genre...
The Precinct
The Precinct ultimately fails to make walking the beat feel immersive or rewarding. Routine patrols quickly become repetitive, with minor offences dragging down the game’s pacing. Even the main story missions, while more substantial, are formulaic and add little excitement. Coupled with a lack of cinematic presentation and a plot...
Revenge of the Savage Planet is a must-play game. Excellent visuals, solid game-play, plenty of fun & interesting areas to explore, secrets to uncover, and a overall humorous tone make it a top-notch effort. The included split-screen co-op allowed my son and I to have an awesome adventure together, filled...
The Midnight Walk is a special game and one that tells a deeply affecting story while exploring a range of poignant themes. Its stunning art direction and masterful audio design come together to create an experience unlike any other. Though it offers little in the way of traditional challenge, the...
I’ve mentioned some minor problems and disappointments, but I mean what I said at the top. This is the most impressive Doom game iD has developed. The ingenuity and evolution of its gameplay, while remaining true to itself, is outstanding, along with an epic campaign to complement it. The Doom...
There’s a city that can be explored between dungeon crawls. It’s expressed with a very Shin Megami Tensei-like map. There are side stories to discover, places to buy and sell items, options to store belongings, etc. This whole hub felt kind of superfluous. If there was an actual city to...
There’s a common misconception that the original Days Gone was a failure. It wasn’t at all. It sold a respectable number of copies and generated a solid following. However, it did fall off the radar pretty quickly and gamers moved on. Happens all the time. For anyone who missed it...
Far be it from me to knock repetition, though. I love games that let me meaninglessly replay the same gameplay loop to no end — and here, there is one! When it kicked in, The Horror at Highrook has a great flow state. I was so sucked in that each...
Straddling the line between remake and remaster, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is a compelling reminder that the original was pretty magical, despite its almost endearing flaws. There’s little doubt that this new version goes a long way to making a great game even more appealing to newcomers, without...
