2013’s The Last of Us is a modern classic. Say what you want about it, you know it’s true. It is, without a doubt, one of gaming’s best storytelling efforts of all time, with a perfect ending. It’s an almost impossible game to follow up on, but the 2020 sequel...
The release of a new Fatal Fury is a very important milestone for SNK enthusiasts. Even if The King of Fighters is, technically-speaking, the best and most popular fighting franchise by the company, it’s Fatal Fury that, uh, “drives the plot forward”, considering how it was the first fighting series...
Star Overdrive
It’s been said, by many people, that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. To some degree, that can be true: after all, if a product, design or style wasn’t worth copying, then it would be ignored. As KMFDM put it: Let’s stop saying, “Don’t quote me,” because if no...
Inti Creates seems to always have their fingers in the most interesting creations. Azure Striker Gunvolt is a fantastic trilogy exploration of the pixel art platformer, Yohane was a very engaging metroidvania all on its own, and Gal*Gun has its own warm, sometimes sticky place in all our hearts (some...
Whenever I see an indie title pop up from out of nowhere, just to receive unanimous praise from all other outlets in the business, my interest is immediately piqued. It’s not because I automatically assume that, sure, the game I had never heard of before is indeed a hit, but...

Hazelight Studios is fast becoming one of my favourites out there. After the flawed but entertaining A Way Out showcased a true cooperative adventure, I was intrigued. Then It Takes Two came out and blew us all away with a touching story and exceptional cooperative gameplay. We were wondering just...
Earlier this year, the announcement of a brand new game in the Ninja Gaiden franchise, the long-awaited Ninja Gaiden 4, was met with a lot of excitement from us fans of the franchise. Even if I don’t think that Ninja Gaiden 3 is that terrible (it’s underwhelming, sure, but I’ve...
To this day, I’m still fascinated that The Talos Principle, one of the best, most thought-provoking and revered puzzle games of the last few decades, came from the same minds that gave us the Serious Sam franchise, a series of games known for being… the absolute opposite of everything The...
Announcing a Nintendo Direct one week before the already announced Nintendo Switch 2 Direct was weird, as what kind of games could you possibly expect to pop up? No one expected anything crazy, like news regarding Metroid Prime 4, even though we actually got it, but we also got Disney...
Argonaut Games is better known as the studio that actually developed the original Star Fox for the Super Nintendo, as well as the creators of the legendary Super FX chip, but their development history in the 90s and early 2000s is a lot more interesting than merely gimmicky games on...
Just you, me, and like maybe a hundred of our friends, something real intimate.
