Getting to the end credits in Swords of Ditto required me to start my adventure over about 14 times (give or take). The demanding journey that I powered through proved to be more difficult than Swords of Ditto lets on. In other words, don’t let the cutesy, Adventure Time-esque art-style...
For a studio whose extensive portfolio comprises a mostly supporting role on big AAA projects, the opportunity to work on a project of its own volition must be an exciting one for Iron Galaxy – a chance to flex creative muscles and channel design experience into a single vision.
This article is a sequel to our review in progress last week. While we’ll touch on everything again a bit here, for our full thoughts on MLB The Show 18’s single-player modes including Franchise and Road to the Show, give that a read as we’ll be focusing more on Diamond...
The Kirby franchise has one thing really going for it right now. Kirby is fun to play no matter what. HAL and Nintendo can really put whatever they want around Kirby, and no matter how successful or unsuccessful it is, it would be nearly very difficult for me to give...
Writing this review leaves me conflicted. On one hand, Rare’s latest open world exploration pirate sim is probably right up there as one of the most immersive games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. And on the other hand, the game simply suffers from way too many drawbacks that...
While one could certainly fault it for being far too linear, for its choices not having enough of an impact on its narrative like so many other story-driven titles out there, A Way Out handles itself with an air of confidence and panache rarely seen in games of the same...
Surviving Mars, the latest and greatest from Haemimont Games and Paradox Interactive, is what I imagine Mars is like in real life: uninviting and brutal. There’s very little hand holding, and the game doesn’t do a great job of explaining what is going on a lot of the time. However, if...
An ugly, contorted face rushed down the road beneath Attack on Titan 2’s Wall Maria as I desperately tried to find a point for my 3D Maneuvering Gear to grapple to lest I get devoured by the giant menace. I manage to hook myself onto a tree in the adjacent...
Pac-Man is one of the longest running franchises in video game history, pre-dating the likes of Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda. Surprisingly though, there really aren’t many variations of the original Pac-Man arcade game. There’s Ms. Pac-Man, which is essentially the same game with a different maze, and...
The first thing you need to understand about Into the Breach is that you are going to die. A lot. In fact, you’re probably going to die about 20 times before you even manage to clear the first island. It’s no problem, though; dying is simply a core part of...
When you ignore the shady underbelly of microtransactions and in-game purchases, Metal Gear Survive offers a fairly solid, if somewhat congested, survival game experience. It’s certainly not the best Metal Gear spin-off we’ve seen thus far – that honor goes to Acid – but it’s not completely horrible either. In...
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an ambitious game. It boldly aims to stand apart from a well-trodden genre of fantasy RPGs by removing spells, dwarves, and dragons, opting instead to realize an authentic European Middle Ages setting. To that end, every inch of its intricately crafted open world has been designed...
