After sinking a ton of hours into Operencia: The Stolen Sun, I realized that developer Zen Studios is really good at pivoting old-school game design into the modern age. They did it so expertly with the Pinball FX series, and I’m happy to say they’ve done it again with Operencia,...
You might watch the gameplay of Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain and think to yourself “this is just another shooter, what’s the big deal?” and to that I would let out a hearty guffaw. Most of these third person shooters make you out to be an unstoppable force of nature...
The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy has finally made its way to the PlayStation 4, and as the name suggests it comes with three games in one – the original game and its two sequels “Justice for All” and “Trials and Tribulations”. A collection of Phoenix Wright’s cases, this bundle...
The Occupation
Developed by a small studio, White Paper Games, The Occupation is a first person exploration thriller that dances with nuance and refuses to hold your hand through its time-limited narrative. While the overall style of both setting and gameplay is incredibly niche, The Occupation is a title that has its...
When Final Fantasy VII was released 22 years ago, I was a small child and needless to say I did not understand its impact and influence in the gaming world. However, the game had always been around in my life, from playing with older friends on the PS One as...
Outward
There are times playing Outward when you feel lost, both literally and figuratively, but it’s almost never a bad thing. On the contrary, getting lost in Outward can result in some of its most rewarding moments. This sense of adventure and discovery is key, and Outward achieves this by placing...
Make no mistake about it, MLB The Show 19 is clearly the next game in the MLB The Show series, and that’s just fine. The latest iteration of the MLB The Show franchise features one of the newest Philadelphia Phillies, Bryce Harper as its cover athlete. If you have ever...
Sunless Skies
There is no doubt that Sunless Seas is a brilliant game. But there are many who could argue that it is not a good game. Those two facts are not exactly contradictions, and understanding both of them is essential to getting the most out of the experience. It’s a totally...
Tropico 6
“Viva la revolución, El Presidente!” These timeless words have been recorded throughout the ages, etched onto every stone on every island in the Caribbean and shouted into the watery mists since time immemorial…or since 2001. Poptop Software’s original title introduced us into the world of Tropico, where you play as...
Unravel Two
As terrible as it may sound, what stuck with me the most about Unravel’s initial E3 reveal way back in 2015 wasn’t quite the game itself. In fact, it was the endearing mixture of nervousness/clear passion for the game that Martin Sahlin was showing as he took us through what...
Windscape
Developed by Magic Sandbox, Windscape is a lovely first-person adventure with adorable quirks that offers quite a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but it isn’t without its peculiar design choices which force you to pause and question what is going on. Set in a dangerous land of flying islands, the game...
Golf Peaks
When I first picked up Golf Peaks, I thought it would be similar to those flash golf games we used to play when we were younger. You know, the ones where you adjust the angle, strength, and try to get the ball into the hole with as little tries as...
