The Medium
I keep constantly rooting for Bloober Team’s success, even though their career has been mostly summarised as a collection of projects that, for the most part, have failed to hit their full potential. Blair Witch and Layers of Fear havd some interesting ideas, but suffered from poor execution. Meanwhile, Observer,...
I was introduced to the world of Ys a few years back. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana ended up being one of my favorite games of 2018, and it’s still one of my favorite RPGs for the Switch. It combined a fantastic soundtrack, fast-paced combat system, and surprisingly enough, considering...
Olija
Olija is Devolver Digital‘s latest release; a beautiful homage to the early days of 2D pixel-art action and platforming. You play as Lord Faraday, your story beginning as you set sail in one last attempt to bring riches back to your people and your poverty stricken land. After getting shipwrecked...
Disjunction
I don’t think there’s any other trendy theme that has saturated me as quickly as cyberpunk. We’ve had some great games released over the past few months, such as Ghostrunner and Observer: System Redux. Then the whole Cyberpunk 2077 release, as well as the mammoth-sized controversy that followed, made me...
Silver Chains
Late January 2021 saw the release of a very important piece of horror entertainment; a juicy demo for the upcoming Resident Evil: Village. This was arguably the first piece of software to truly feel like a proper showcase of what the next generation of consoles is capable of. Sadly, the...
Cyber Shadow
In 2014, a little company called Yacht Club Games graced the world with their little kickstarted project called Shovel Knight. I still consider it to be not only one of the best indie games of all time, but one of the best games of all time, period. For the next...
Coming from the same developer-publisher tag team that brought us the impressive Fairy Tail last year, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy has the distinction of being the first true JRPG (and turn-based RPG, for that matter) released for the Playstation 5, given the fact that, for some...
One of the best and most underrated developers of all time was the once-great Germany-based Factor 5. They were mostly known for their fantastic streak of hardware-defying titles released for the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, such as Indiana Jones & The Infernal Machine, Star Wars: Battle for Naboo, and of...
Hitman 3
I’ll admit, I have never been the biggest fan of Hitman series; I dabbled with the franchise here and there, mostly enjoying Blood Money for what it offered, but I never truly appreciated the franchise until the release of the 2016 reboot of the series, which vastly expanded what the...
I’m going to be honest here and say right off the bat that I’m extremely disappointed with Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. Quality, high-budgeted VR titles are few and far between, and with how amazing Respawn has been lately I was hoping this was going to be another Half-Life:...
There’s only one way to properly start this review:
Originally announced and released a while ago, as a spiritual successor to the then-dead skateboarding genre, most notably EA’s Skate series, Skater XL is one of the main releases I missed out on last year. It’s quite weird to tackle it right now, as the skateboarding gaming landscape has vastly...
