It’s a shame because sometimes, even when I’m fighting the game, I’m enjoying myself. Contra: Rogue Corps needed more time in the oven, and I’m not sure the whole “segmented ways to play” concept is going to go over well with everyone. But when it’s firing on all cylinders, there’s some...
Exit the Gungeon is an interesting experiment and a clever way to keep the series going without copying what’s already been done; but along the path to mobile, some crucial elements of the DNA of the franchise were lost. I’ll still be following it through its post-launch journey, however, and...
What the Golf?
If you can make use of the one-month free trial for Apple Arcade, this game should be a no-brainer. It’s among the most fun I’ve had on my phone in ages. If you’re considering the pricier console or PC version of What the Golf?, well, just go with your gut....
The Coalition has achieved a lot with Gears 5. The writing and action often rivals the best moments in the series, even surpassing its predecessors at times. The overall package is the most robust Gears has ever seen. But, the big structural alteration feels like an unequivocal misstep. Gears 5 is a...
On that note, I can’t get Blasphemous off my mind. I may never fully grasp the opaque story even with the inevitable community-led theories and explainers lending a hand, but that’s okay. Even taken as a fanatical fever-dream, this game delivers. Some aspects aren’t as fine-tuned...
Despite that, the sum total of my experience with Daemon X Machina is positive. The combat is amazing, the game is bright and colorful, the framerate mostly holds up in either docked or handheld mode, and the hangar is great to tinker around in, checking out all the different configurations of my...
Flight School Studio has created an exceptional world to explore in Creature in the Well. Its prodigious art direction is enticing, wooing players into a unique puzzle game that very much feels like a history lesson on the medium itself. It combines ideas and concepts found throughout gaming into a...
That’s what it comes down to, really. These days, there aren’t many games I’m willing to surrender hundreds of hours of free time to, but somehow, some way, Monster Hunter found an opening. World laid the groundwork, and now Iceborne is here to carry me through the rest of...
With River City Girls, WayForward has done stellar work with the Kunio-kun series, having created a love letter to the franchise as inviting to newcomers as it is to series veterans. On the flip side, a commitment to brawler gameplay is definitely required, as RCG only truly finds its sweet...
Faith serves a few important purposes within the Life is Strange 2 story. It shores up some loose ends from the brothers’ past, it proves the lengths Sean is willing to go to in order to protect Daniel, and it gives Daniel further autonomy by letting him make his own decisions. It’s...
Minoria is an uneven game that will serve as a rainy day Metroidvania if you can’t get your fill. In any case it just shows the world how talented Bombservice really is, and how I’ll be following them until the end of time.
That’s basically everything Heave Ho has to offer in a nutshell. It’s a good chunk of content for an absolute steal of a price. The wackiness of grabbing your friends, flinging yourself around, making faces and noises, and just causing shenanigans all around doesn’t really get old. Heave Ho is a...
