Latest Reviews
The review you are about to read is an account of the tragedy that befell a group of six youths, in particular Ana Flores and her sister, Maria. It is all the more tragic in the fact that they were young. Maria Flores has seemingly vanished without a trace. With...
Astronaut: The Best is a game that knows exactly what it wants to be. That confidence is extremely fortunate, because there are times when I have no idea what Astronaut: The Best is even about. It is a game truly hard to categorize. Steam tags are settling on “Interactive Fiction,”...
WrestleQuest
There are times when promoters team up wrestlers in an attempt to create a unique collaboration that soars past comprehension. While duos like The Rock and Mankind, and even more recent ones such as MJF and Adam Cole, don’t work on paper, they were magic on screen. However, for every...
F1 Manager 2023 is Frontier Developments second iteration of their F1 sim. Last year, F1 Manager 22 allowed you to oversee all on and off-track activities of running an F1 Team. Now, as with all sports games, Frontier Development faced the prospect of improving their previous entry.
There are many adult gamers for whom Double Dragon represents carefree hours in the local arcade, or maybe a happy, simpler time parked in front of their NES. Set aside the fact that many readers weren’t even alive in 1987, almost everyone has heard of the franchise and played some...
Viewfinder
It must be fiendishly difficult to design a puzzle game like Viewfinder. Sometimes, it is all I can do to wrap my head around it. It takes an inconceivably mad genius to come up with this game conceptually. Some of the challenges totally consumed me. Others were dealt with simply....
This game might not be for you. It absolutely wasn’t for me, in spite of its fascinating premise and snappy writing. LISA: Definitive Edition is a clever, cruel, well-crafted game that I couldn’t stand. It turns out that I have no patience for this specific sort of emotional landscape. I...
We talked gameplay in our Jagged Alliance preview, but there are some things worth focusing in on. The one thing Jagged Alliance does better than any other turn-based game out there is cinematic gunfights. These aren’t the brutal, balletic sort of fights you’d see in a John Wick movie. These...
Pikmin 4
At long last, a new Pikmin game has arrived. As a newcomer to the series, I can’t speak to the game’s new features with the necessary authority. I can, however, provide an outsider’s perspective on the experience. For those of you also new to this franchise, welcome! Pikmin 4 is...
Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg is a blast from the past in all the best ways and only a few of the annoying ones. If you’re a fan of retro JRPGs or the Atelier series, you owe it to yourself to play this game. And even if you...
Oxenfree was a unique title that combined supernatural elements with relatable, down-to-earth characters. With its sequel, Lost Signals, the game aims to build on the unsettling atmosphere that resides on Edwards Island to tell an audacious story that explores time travel, family and a world-threatening event. Will Oxenfree 2 manage...
The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is a fascinating game I wish I could recommend to everyone. Unfortunately, I can’t do that. This is not because Trails into Reverie is flawed–although it is. The problem is that this title is the tenth game in a series, and it tries...
