Odallus: The Dark Call is a metroidvania style game that is a callback to the NES days of the genre. Odallus first launched on PC in 2015 after a successful crowdfunding campaign and has just made it’s way to the Switch. The story follows Haggis, who is on a personal...
Point-and-click adventures were really popular in the 90’s and while they’ve mostly faded from the limelight, there are still a few around for those that enjoy this type of genre. As a 90’s kid, this genre holds a special place in my heart, although I do understand that it’s not...
I would have never imagined that out of all game developers out there, Nintendo, the same people who still haven’t properly figured out how to come up with a lot of good online multiplayer games or a decent online service, would be the one that would come out with the...
Remember back in my Travis Strikes Again review, when I said that I really dislike when developers come up with smaller-scale spin offs in order to simultaneously calculate fan interest and raise funds for a proper sequel to a long-forgotten franchise? Well, here we are again with yet another example, this...
Conarium
H.P Lovecraft has had a growing influence on gaming industries within the last half decade. More and more game designers have been pulling from Lovecraftian tales of beings from other realms. The most recent title to follow suit is the story-driven walking simulator, Conarium, that is heavily inspired by H.P Lovecraft’s...
Resident Evil is one of my all time favourite franchises. It’s the series that introduced me to survival horror but it has has stumbled throughout the last generation, focusing more and more on mindless action while ignoring its horror roots.
Melbits World
Melbits World is the latest attempt to make the PS4’s PlayLink feature a “thing”, and although it isn’t altogether bad, it seems to miss its target mark. Cute characters and clunky controls leave me somewhat confused on who their target audience actually was intended to be.
The indie scene is where creativity really thrives in the gaming world nowadays, but there are two small niches that show up quite often in this evergrowing market: twitch platformers and metroidvanias.
A Fisherman’s Tale is a different take on what seems to be becoming a popular VR experience: the diorama-like puzzle game. In most of these, you are presented with a beautiful dioramic scene in a story book setting. You can pull closer, push further, rotate and manipulate the scene as...
Genesis Alpha One is a collection of good ideas which can be roughly summarised as a combination of FTL: Faster than Light and the Aliens movie. You play as a captain of a corporation sent out to populate planets in the galaxy. This is exactly my type of game, but...
We reviewers usually sound very uncreative when we summarise a game by calling it a mixture of two other titles, but can we be blamed when the developers themselves do that in order to promote their latest release? Case and point, The Hong Kong Massacre. There’s no better way to...
A new year, a new slate of Warhammer games. Following years of stingy use of the license, Games Workshop has since opened the floodgates to developers, with most of them sadly most failing to impress. The original Battlefleet Gothic: Armada was one of those games with a decent idea, great gameplay, but...
