All in all, Night Call sets itself up with an inspired idea and premise. The concept of a man living the simple life as a city taxi driver going through regular life while trying to catch a sinister serial killer is fascinating. When the different systems are firing on all...
There is a lot to dislike about Dragon Quest Builders 2, but there is also a lot to love. While the game has some flaws, overall, it’s a solid sequel. Hopefully, if Square Enix continues to explore the sandbox setup, they take a renewed focus on building and work on...
The Contra Anniversary Collection could have been so much more. At $19.99, it’s far from expensive, yet still feels underwhelming when judged against what Konami’s rivals are offering in similar packages. Contra nuts will grab this regardless, but the lack of online co-op and the omission of some important titles...
Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is another exemplary update for a classic game that desperately needed refreshing after remaining somewhat dormant for several console generations. True, there were other iterations, but this one has always remained the best out of the group. Activision and Beenox did well to make the tweaks...
Dandy Dungeon: Legend of Brave Yamada tells the story of a middle-aged man stuck at a job he hates. Dissatisfied with his life, he sets out to find true happiness. Yamada-kun’s quest to be greater is endearing, and the creative decision to have players experience it alongside him rather than...
My Friend Pedro is an amalgam of fantastic bullet play, thumping electronic bass beats throughout each level, and hilariously weird characters. I'm still not sure how the folks at Deadtoast Entertainment came up with this gloriously addictive fever dream, but I'm an absolute fan of whatever creative process that allowed...
Overall, Gato Roboto is one of my favorite indie games I’ve had a chance to play this year. The only downside is that the short playtime of only four-five hours (it took me five and a half because of some issues with one of the bosses), means the game never...
Unfortunately, once you play through Void Bastards once, a repeat play is going to be fairly similar, unless attempted on another difficulty. Unlike Binding of Isaac where every attempt offers entirely different outcomes forcing you to adapt, Void Bastards is a rather one-and-done experience. In fact, despite the random nature...
Trover Saves the Universe is an ambitious and solid first outing from the team at Squanch Games. There’s a real game here with some actual replayability thanks to hidden power babies, a few branching paths, and the crazy amount of voice acting that went into it. It looks good, it...
Team Sonic Racing is a strong return to form for Sumo Digital’s kart racing spin-off series. Built on a solid foundation of gameplay, the risks taken with the implementation of the team dynamic pay off big time and sets Team Sonic Racing apart from other available titles in its class....
While I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never been a big fan of the series, I found a lot to like in Three Kingdoms. I did tend to shy away from the real time battles and found them to be tough to manage, but the campaign section of...
