Scarf
I will be honest with you. I had completely forgotten about Scarf‘s existence. Originally unveiled way back in 2018, amidst the 3D platforming and indie adventure revivals caused by Super Mario Odyssey and RiME, Scarf looked really promising for the time. The problem is, the game vanished after its initial...
Stories can be told in many different ways. You can experience the horrors of war through games like Halo Infinite and Call of Duty: Vanguard. You can go on more sweet and wholesome journeys, like those found in A Short Hike and To the Moon. Sometimes you’ll even get a...
Halo Infinite
I’ve never been more anxious about a game than with Halo Infinite. Halo has always been a huge part of my life and of those games that really got me into gaming. Booting up Combat Evolved for the first time, I was blinded by its majesty. Since then I’ve played...
I won’t lie, I was cautiously optimistic before tackling the PlayStation 5 version of Serious Sam 4. Our colleague, Jordan, may have had a harsh time with original PC release, citing its many performance issues and glitches, but I thought that Croteam would have used its extra year of development...
I am not at all surprised with the fact that Asteroids: Recharged exists. On the other hand, I am impressed with how long it took for Atari to release it. At this point, I’ve spoken my peace about the Recharged series of retro remakes and their diminishing oomph factor, but...
Nintendo owns tons of different IPs, so it’s pretty obvious that a lot of them end up becoming dormant for a long time before getting a brand new iteration in their catalogue. That has been seen in Metroid, for instance. Plus we’re still waiting for the (unlikely) revival of certain...
Wow, 1997 and 1999. That’s how long it’s been since the two Monster Rancher games that everyone remembers. I remember as a young lad going over to my friend’s place with a stack of CDs (he had a PlayStation while I had a Nintendo 64) and trying to generate the...
Sam and Max, the self-proclaimed Freelance Police, are back in action once again! After last year’s successful release of the remastered version of 2006’s classic, Sam & Max Save the World Remastered, we’re finally getting Season Two of the beloved series. Skunkape Games has shown a great amount of love...
Chorus
Despite featuring one of the worst usages of a Latin-infused font, making its Us look like Vs, Chorus is a space combat game announced a couple years ago that promised to deliver a thrilling storyline with fast-paced flying combat. I was eager to find out what developer Fishlabs, mostly known...
There are three criteria to making a video game truly great, in my humble opinion. The first is for the concept to be a unique premise, or at least a storyline that manages to catch players off-guard. Although Pony Island is now kind of a tired trope (and even was...
Battlefield used to be the king of the squad based first-person shooter games. Back in the days of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 4, I would put way too many hours into these squad-based shooters, but the franchise hasn’t been relevant in the eyes of the mainstream...
For as much as I liked playing Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 on the Switch a few years ago, that was still a remaster of an older and quite janky game. I was hoping for Microids to fund and publish something else, something brand new for the current (or last,...
