I was looking forward to playing Monkey King: Hero is Back for a multitude of reasons. First of all, it looked like a charming 3D mascot platformer, and anyone who has met me knows this is my favorite genre of gaming. There is also the fact that this game is...

With Call of Cthulhu, Sinking City, and the upcoming Moons of Madness being the most noticeable recent additions. Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is the latest attempt at a Lovecraftian RPG, with...
Back when the Switch was first unveiled, before I knew about its underwhelming hardware specs, I vividly remember daydreaming about the possibility of having three specific games on-the-go: Doom, Dark Souls, and The Witcher 3.

Concrete Genie
I didn’t know what to expect from SIE and PixelOpus’ Concrete Genie, which debuted at Paris Games Week 2017. I knew it was going to be beautiful and unique, but was it going to be more of an action/adventure title or more of a walking simulator? The easy answer is,...
