Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is a game I didn’t know too much about before heading into it. I was familiar with its predecessors, Garden Warfare and Garden Warfare 2, but have never played either of them. As a fan of third-person shooters like Saints Row and Grand Theft...
Have the kids gone to bed yet? Prepare for the latest thrilling story in the Lust series, Lust From Beyond. Be forewarned, this game contains content that is strictly for mature audiences only. Violence, nudity, torture, sex – it’s all on display here in very graphic detail. Lust From Beyond...
Foregone
Foregone is an indie action-platformer that seems ready to carve out its own lane in the 2D landscape. Stylistically retro, Foregone is an homage to many of the classic games we know and love, but with an infusion of looter madness and rogue-like quirks. If that wasn’t enough, don’t fret. There...
Cathedral
Cathedral has the charm of a Metroidvania and brings a polished retro game to the Nintendo Switch platform. Developed by Decemberborn Interactive using their own game engine, Cathedral boasts in its colorful visuals combined with the nostalgic NES gaming experience. Fans of the Metroidvania subgenre will be delighted with this...
Maquette
Breakups are the absolute worst. They leave a crater in your life that stretches for miles in every direction. The event itself burns like mercury stew, so why not wrap it in a protective layer of puzzle game? Maquette explores the existential horror that is heartbreak with a complex set...
I had the distinct pleasure of reviewing Frogware’s The Sinking City when it first launched in 2019. As a fan of Lovecraftian horror, I knew this was a title I absolutely had to play. It can be tough to find a good Lovecraftian game and while it wasn’t without issue,...
Loop Hero
Let me admit something up front: I don’t actually like roguelikes. The repetitiveness gets on my nerves, the brutal survival mechanics are not forgiving of my tendency to get distracted while gaming, and the simple graphics do very little to keep me invested. Having said that, I was blown away...
Taxi Chaos
It’s amazing how a concept so simple could turn into such a beloved game. Yet, that’s exactly what happened 20 years ago when Crazy Taxi hit the arcades. In Crazy Taxi, players were tasked with picking up passengers and driving them as fast as possible to their desired locations. It...
Curse of the Dead Gods is a brutally unforgiving roguelite by Passtech Games. In my review for Skul: The Hero Slayer, I referred to the game as 2021’s first great roguelike, and I can now say with confidence that Curse of the Dead Gods is the next.
Turrican! Turrican! Does whatever a Turri-can. Okay, no doubt that line doesn’t play out as well as the original arachnid based one does. But it does give a glimpse into my headspace when I first played this game back in the 1990s on my uncle’s Amiga PC. Turrican, a biomechanical...
You had one job. You were hired to protect her. It was just a job, but it became something more. Now she lay lifeless in your arms. But what of that tomb that holds the necromancer? Could she be brought back from the brink? Are you brave enough to delve...
My first take on Destruction AllStars was simply: it’s okay. I then spent the next few days trying to decide if that’s all it was. I then changed my mind: it’s forgettable, but okay as a free game on PS+. Truthfully it comes across like a game that just completed an...
