Disintegration
Disintegration is the latest effort by the Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto and his new development team V1 Interactive. They set out with a lofty goal of trying to create an entirely new genre of game, like a souls-like of sorts (Disintegration-like? We’ll work on it). This ambitious mash-up of real-time-strategy...
Skelattack
Most metroidvania games are all about exploration and a slowly rising power level that eventually smacks of godhood. Skelattack is a slightly different beast. This game is in the business of killing you, and business is booming. There’s a death counter I stopped paying attention to after it hit 150,...
My first introduction to Real Time Strategy (RTS) games was 1992s – Dune II. Any limitations of PC technology at the time were overcome by my imagination fueled by Frank Herbert’s novels. Having cut their teeth with RTS, developer Westwood Studios then turned their attention to creating a wholly new...
Atomicrops
Atomicrops is almost what you’d get if you crossed Stardew Valley with Enter the Gungeon. You cultivate your land and plant crops that hum and sing as they sprout. You acquire farm animals to roam around your untamed pasture overwhelmed with weeds. You can marry a partner, or two, if...
The music begins to thunder in your head. Your shotgun is pumped and ready – no wasted reload times here. Demons and other hellish monsters are beginning to descend upon you. What more could you ask for? A grin cracks across your face as you take aim and prepare for...
It’s hard to believe it has actually been 13 years since the release of the original BioShock. The incredible first-person shooter series has been available on other platforms for some time, but 2K has finally brought the remastered collection to the Nintendo Switch, letting you take Rapture and Columbia with...
Putting across a mini-golf course on Team17 and Blacklight Interactive’s multiplayer golf game, Golf With Your Friends, is a lot different from going from course to course in your local mini-putt. The stage design allows both for things that are possible on your average mini-golf course as well as wacky...
Obey Me
When doing my research, I discovered that Obey Me by Error 404 Game Studios is second in popularity to Obey Me, an anime dating game. This Obey Me is about a demon hunter, Vanessa, who is tasked by her demon overlord to fight through demons and angels with her hellhound,...
Mortal Kombat 11 is already one of the most solid entries in the series. Even if we set aside its gorgeous graphics and fantastic balancing of characters, it proceeds to give us a movie-quality narrative and provides a gameplay experience accessible for gamers of all experience levels. Adding characters like...
Monster Train
If you like deckbuilding games, you are probably familiar with Slay the Spire. Further, I’ll make a bold prediction that you loved Slay the Spire too, because I don’t think I’ve met a single person that didn’t like that game. Roguelites and deckbuilders just feel like they were meant to be...
Minecraft is basically the biggest game on Earth at this point. Hundreds of millions of people have played it in one form or another, and there’s no sign of the franchise slowing down anytime soon. So it’s only natural that Mojang would want to expand that empire into other genres....
It’s 2521. You are in deep space. Your ship, a colony vessel named the Persistence, is damaged and on the edge of being sucked into a black hole. All hopes of escape lay on your shoulders. Oh and there’s a further fly in the ointment – you’re dead.
