I know that I definitely presented a veritable list of hiccups with Bye Sweet Carole. But ultimately, they didn’t take me away fully from what I wanted: a good story. I am not one for crying (not a masculinity thing, I just don’t cry too much) but I did find...
Overall, while there are still some issues, Yooka-Replaylee’s revamped level and game design reflect a more confident identity both for this series and developer Playtonic Games. There is still some room for the series to grow in a potential sequel (perhaps a Twooka-Laylee?), but until then, Playtonic Games has delivered...
Daimon Blades
It’s no secret that I enjoyed my time in Daimon Blades. If I could sing it’s praises from the highest mountain I would, but the crashing issue are more than enough to nearly ruin what I thought was a great experience. The Daimon system feels new and intuitive in a...
While it might play it safe in some regards, Ghost of Yotei is a sequel that builds off the greatness of the first. Often feeling like a tale pulled straight from the American ‘Wild West’, the vibrant setting of a 17th century Ezo is the perfect backdrop for telling Atzu’s...
Dreams of Another is a wonderful exploration of dreams, memory, materialism, and so much more. While there are points where it feels like some narrative elements outstay their welcome and there are some technical issues that can break the immersion, Q-Games and Baiyon have delivered a charming story and world...
While it’s not perfect and could use a bit of rethinking in some of it’s systems, Slime Rancher 2 is still a fun, low conflict game. I honestly think everyone needs at least one game they can turn on and just relax with and much like the first game, it’s...
Despite struggling to multi-class, the game offers 6-8 hours of good fun for families and Nicktoons fans of all ages, and kept surprising me with the dev team’s attention to detail and clear understanding and appreciation for the IPs. Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny may not be a natural...
Dying Light: The Beast is a gritty, emotionally charged game that builds on the series’ strengths while introducing new, and fun layers of gameplay. A few mechanical hiccups and pacing issues hold it back from greatness but it’s still a beast worth taming. A thoroughly gruesome and fun zombie survival...
Candy Rangers
During the best of times, it felt like a game that was a school project. At some of the worst times, it felt like a game that I’m not sure who it was made for. Maybe there is a subset of gamers that really enjoy on the rail gun games,...
Silent Hill f is survival horror at it’s best. Hinako’s depressing tale of loss and guilt combined with the beautifully terrifying setting of 1960’s Japan has been one of the best horror experiences I’ve had since the Silent Hill 2 remake released last year. It’s gameplay loop is brutal and...
Hotel Barcelona is a a frequently enjoyable collaboration between Swery and Suda51, bringing together two of the industry’s most eccentric minds into an often times uniquely rewarding roguelite with an enjoyable story and cast of characters. However for everything the game does well, there is a frustrating downside that keeps...
It’s not for everyone, but if you’re the kind of player who enjoys digging into systems and mastering the chaos, CloverPit will have you hooked. However, just like a real casino, remember the house always wins. This house will just kill you when you lose.
