Despite its name being a clear nod to the metal band whose punches use four more fingers, One Finger Death Punch 2 couldn’t have been more different from them. When I first watched the trailer for this game, I was wondering what the hell was happening onscreen. It looked like...
Infliction from Caustic Reality has been on my radar for a while. It originally released for the PC back in October of 2018, following a Kickstarter campaign that had garnered my interest. Mainly because this game looked shockingly good for having been made almost entirely by one person, Clinton McCleary....
Gylt
Stadia is a few months old now and there’s only one true exclusive under its belt. That game is Gylt from Tequilla games, the developer of Deadlight and Rime. Gylt is a stealth survival horror game and one that captured my interest early on.
Dreams
It’s strange to think Dreams has been in development for almost this entire generation with it being teased back in 2012 at Gamescom and then fully announced in 2013 along with the PlayStation 4. It’s one of the rare games that people were okay with the long development time because...
Time for a little story lesson. Back in the 80’s and 90’s, there was this neat little Japanese developer called Technos. They basically invented the beat ’em up genre with their two most important franchises: Double Dragon & Kunio-kun. The developer has released tons of games from both of these...
I think it would be an understatement to say this game had a rocky launch. I actually struggle to think of another game that launched to this much backlash. Star Wars: Battlefront II perhaps, or maybe Destiny or Fallout 76? It’s hardly an achievement to be proud of and certainly not...
The year 2016 was filled with gaming duds like Star Fox Zero, Mighty No. 9, and No Man’s Sky, but the game I hated the most was Street Fighter V. It was a technically sound game at launch, but it was abhorrent when it came to content and single-player experiences....
We’ve talked a lot about Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales already. We were all shocked when the game was first unveiled three years ago, first as just a standalone Gwent multiplayer game, then evolving into a full-fledged card-based RPG of its own. It was a game that could have easily failed...
Back in just September of 2019, the excellent Daemon x Machina was introduced onto the Switch. Despite its shortcomings, we found it to be an excellent mech shooter. In a big surprise, a PC port of the game was announced. But does it fix any of the issues of the...
NIS America released Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha last month, a collection comprised of a handful of excellent shooters (and that one Sol Divide dud) originally crafted by a company I knew little of at the time, Psikyo. It was a collection mainly featuring military and sci-fi shoot ’em ups that...
Kawaii anime battleship girls. That is probably the easiest possible way to describe Azur Lane: Crosswave. This is an arena battler action-RPG featuring anime girls wearing far too little to be blasting around at high speeds on the sea. You fight other anime girls also wearing far too little, as...
Puzzle games are a dime a dozen these days, so it takes either a truly original idea or creative gameplay to make a puzzle title stand out. The Talos Principle, Baba is You, 7th Sector, and Portal are all notable examples of successful and memorable puzzle games. So does The...
