Grim Dawn
Grim Dawn, while fun as a passing fancy, will be forgotten in the sands of gaming lore. Although the entire experience is passively fun and addicting, when one reflects on the journey, it feels like mindless clicking and number comparing. Truly, Grim Dawn represents the modern gamer’s slot machine, where...
Kathy Rain
I like point & click games a lot, and despite its flaws, I think Kathy Rain is a good one. There are some gaps in its story, but I only care because I found the rest of it interesting. I really did want to learn more about Kathy’s family and...
Moon Hunters
Moon Hunters is a novel, simple experience with a fresh, chill vibe mired in technical issues. I hope this review is out-of-date at some point and readers tilt their heads a bit when they read my fussing over multiplayer, but as Moon Hunters stands now as a purchasable title, I...
If you enjoy action RPGs and seeing the different ways a story can play out based on your experience, Stories: The Path of Destinies is an easy choice. It won’t take you forever to play, but it’s only $15 on Steam, and it’s absolutely worth the asking price. It does...
Dark Souls III
*When I say “pushover,”” I mean I still died nearly half a dozen times or so to the easiest of them. If Dark Souls has proved challenging for you in the present or past, perhaps this How To video from Bandai Namco will give you a hand.
It took me awhile to really get into Stranger of Sword City; early dungeons see you operating at limited potential and the game takes its time to get going, but when you’re finally let loose, it becomes an arduous, but very enjoyable ride. The concept of the Ambush is a...
In short, Nights of Azure ends up as a game that promises a lot but fails to truly deliver on anything effectively. There’s plenty to enjoy when you first start off, such as the monster collecting and the combat, but after a few hours these aspects start to wear thin....
Shardlight
Shardlight is definitely worth your time if you’re a fan of point-and-click adventures or have enjoyed Wadjet Eye’s back catalogue. It’s got a certain charm about it that’s different than other post-apocalyptic games, and feels distinct by not centring on the disaster itself but by paying attention to the characters...
The long and short of this review is that the visual novel aspects are fantastic, but the RPG aspects are clumsily designed and executed. Despite its egregious flaws, I enjoyed my time with Trillion: God of Destruction, because it unexpectedly turned out to be the kind of game I like....
That’s not to say that my time with the game hasn’t been an absolute blast, though. Clocking in at just under twelve hours and featuring a number of optional dungeons and bosses, the main quest was just digestible enough to make me keen to jump back in and approach the...
Oxenfree
Oxenfree offers an engaging, though sometimes confusing, narrative filled with plot twists and reveals that keep things interesting throughout the adventure. Gore and jump scares are kept to a minimum, but that didn’t stop Oxenfree from giving me the creeps whenever it felt like it. That, coupled with excellent voice...
With that, I’m not sure there’s more that I can say that would be useful to you. I put a total of 80 hours into Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, and I really enjoyed the vast majority of those hours. The few that I didn’t really enjoy were the ones I...
