So, with that said: Slots & Daggers is a great game - through and through. It's addictive enough to keep you coming back for a few nights in a row to keep spinning out the right symbols and getting further and further on the map, unlocking more and more new...
It's possible to criticise a game of this type and style for not delivering enough of its own (or new) ideas. It's also possible to criticise it for not offering the same variety in terms of layout and style as many of today's action games, similar to the games that...
The Berlin Apartment is a touching little story and a glimpse into Germany's turbulent history, from the pre-war period to the end of World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Apartment does not try to be more than it is, but if you are the...
I have hopes that perhaps we, the gamers, are more open-minded than 20 years ago, and we are more eager to accept different proposals, that defy our genre expectations, that feel unique. Will that still be enough to convince my non-Nintendo-hardcore friends to try this game for game nights instead...
That said, I've said repeatedly that the game is enjoyable, and it's enjoyable all the way through. The graphics are well done and the animations are so natural to look at that you sometimes think it's a cartoon. It's great just to watch the customers get their food, have a...
Although the soundscape is driving, it's not that memorable either. The bass box next to my TV gets to work, but it would have needed a little more catchy tones to make it feel extra fun to jump in. The feel of the whole thing is almost visually reminiscent of...
Perhaps my expectations for this game were too high, but Titans of the Tide does feel like a regression of Purple Lamp's gameplay formula, and this particularly stings as everything else about the title is just as excellent as the former chapter. The tone is spot on, the art style...
Perhaps we'll start calling these games Dispatch-likes instead of Telltale-likes now. Dispatch takes a great leap above Telltale's former experiences, keeping the strong writing while elevating a sense of player agency and pushing out an incredibly addictive gameplay loop. Dispatch is simply one of the best pure narrative experiences we've...
There is also something ironic about how Rennsport tries to profile itself as the modern, accessible platform for everyone, while lacking so many of the features that make a modern racing game worth investing time and money in. It's like building a shiny showroom but forgetting to put the cars...
You can already try a demo of Winter Burrow for PC on Steam, and it will also be available on Game Pass on day one.
Possessor(s) offers an interesting touch on an established Metroidvania formula, but in my opinion it's best played in shorter sessions. In addition to a story that is slowly unravelled through memories and flashbacks in the main characters' shared inner lives where it's anything but black and white, a message is...
So if you're looking for a puzzle game that does things differently by mixing deep puzzle gameplay with a hard-pumping soundtrack and wild visual effects, Lumines Arise is a really good direction to look in. I love the combination.
