Vector Unit might not make the best racing games in the market, but they sure know how to deliver a lot with little resources. Their previous games, Riptide GP and Beach Buggy Racing, were ports of surprisingly competent and minimally egregious mobile games that ran incredibly well on the Switch,...
Ghosts ‘n Goblins is one of Capcom’s most celebrated franchises, but also one of its most infamous. Sure, everybody knows about Arthur’s quest, and we all grew up playing it on the NES, SNES or Mega Drive, but this is a franchise known more for its difficulty than its fun...
Monster Truck Championship was released last year as a necessary competitor to THQ Nordic’s Monster Jam Steel Titans franchise. Sadly, not a single thing in that game manage to surpass what its main rival offered. It had less content, lacked an open world mode, and its performance was subpar. It...
Maquette
I have spoken many times about how much respect I have for Annapurna Interactive. They have made it their mission to publish games that are usually a far cry from the norm. While not all of their titles achieve the success they were hoping for, such as Telling Lies, most...
Firefly Studios took its sweet time polishing Stronghold: Warlords as much as possible after announcing it nearly two years ago during E3 2019. I was looking forward to it ever since, as I couldn’t ignore a brand new RTS title being released during such a dry spell for genre, not...
I reviewed the first Monster Energy Supercross game in 2018 (which I hated, mostly due to it being a poorly optimized Switch port), and somehow, we are already in its fourth iteration in 2021. I didn’t exactly pay a lot of attention to the franchise after my first poor initial...
Gensou Skydrift is such a completely weird anomaly of game that you know it couldn’t have been created anywhere else other than Japan. A racing title about kawaii anime witches riding on other kawaii anime witches as if they were flying surfboards, all while racing against each other in physics...
Dry Drowning
Visual novels are a particularly tough genre to make an appealing game out of. Since there’s usually a lack of traditional gameplay elements, they need to have a solid story and striking art design in order to keep people interested. While the majority fade into obscurity, there are some like...
I am pretty sure that my colleagues at WTMG are already fed up with me complaining that, so far, 2021 hasn’t had any new game I could consider worthy of a year-end list. Covid has screwed over release schedules for games and so far, the only two really outstanding titles...
Loop Hero
I have to be honest here and say that I totally underestimated Loop Hero. My initial reaction and impression was that it was going to be some mobile styled auto-runner game. While Loop Hero does feature an auto-runner core gameplay loop, it is more like a true to life video...
What happens when you take an internet meme and try to turn it into a full game? You get Kill it With Fire, which is exactly what it sounds like. Whilst there is some potential for a good game here, this one is way off the mark.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but one of my favorite games I’ve played in recent memory is a borderline visual novel with practically no action, animations, or voice acting. The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante is one of the most compelling games released in years, delivering one hell...
