Insurgency: Sandstorm is a tactical military first person shooter that focuses on being as immersive and realistic as possible, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing. Disappointingly enough, the story mode for the game got canned before release, so if you were looking for a plot or a decent reason to why you’re...
It’s no secret that I love turn based strategy games, especially when they mimic system similar to that of XCOM: Enemy Unknown and the subsequent releases of XCOM: Enemy Within, XCOM 2, and XCOM 2:War of the Chosen. When I heard tell that there was an upcoming tactics game based...
One knows what to expect from a Disgaea game, the flagship title from NIS America as a whole; an adorable and instantly recognizable art style, gameplay akin to what Final Fantasy Tactics used to provide two decades ago, a good soundtrack, a mixture of innocent and mischievous humor, and a...
Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax is an old school shoot ’em up that originally released on PC back in 2015 and just came to Nintendo Switch. Set in the year 2087, you play as a police force whose job is to restore peace across the universe. The story is presented...

I had the chance to test Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom back at E3 2018, and was really impressed by what little I could play. It looked and sounded great, but I really wanted to know if the entire game would wow me as that brief E3 demo. What...
Compared to others, my familiarity of Bendy and the Ink Machine was insignificant at best. Not knowing it was a game, my preliminary thought was that it was a show or concept ripped off from Cuphead. I remember seeing a plentiful amount of merchandise swamping the stores of Hot Topic,...
Nairi: Tower of Shirin from HomeBearStudio is a point-and-click adventure game set in the city of Shirin. The game boasts a unique art style and an intriguingly strong narrative. I was expecting your run of the mill point-and-click game, however Nairi was big surprise for me.
