Review

We'll Always Have Paris Review

We'll Always Have Paris is a point-and-click visual novel from Cowleyfornia Studios that deals with what it's like when a loved one has dementia. It's a short but sweet exploration of true love across generations, and is a definite must-play when you need to shed a cathartic tear or two.

Kaiju Wars Review

With Advance Wars delayed, Kaiju Wars might just be the perfect grid-based strategy title to fill the void while we wait for it.

Teardown Review

Teardown is a game about chaos, but is it good enough to bring back a dying genre?

Lila's Sky Ark Review

There are many games that explore living in the sky in various ways. Lila's Sky Ark has equal parts wonder and danger as you explore the floating isles. Pick up whatever you can for yourself and as your main means of defense.

Cat Cafe Manager Review

A game with a pretty straight-forward title, is Cat Cafe Manager worth getting your paws on?

Babylon's Fall Cover
Review

Babylon's Fall Review

Babylon's Fall represents the next AAA example of a live-service game that seems doomed to fail. An otherwise serviceable ARPG is twisted into a different beast entirely by poisonous MMO-focused design decisions. From story to gameplay to presentation, you can immediately tell Platinum Games is grappling with finding a solid identity.

Revita Review

Revita is another pixel art roguelite but it has a pretty interesting central gimmick. Does that make it stand out? Our Review:

Review

In Nightmare Review

In Nightmare is a new horror project from a little known team that promises enough scares to keep you going. Unfortunately, with poor controls, tonnes of glitches and downright confusing AI, this nightmare feels more like sleep paralysis.

Review

Forgive Me Father Review

Forgive Me Father is a retro-style, Lovecraftian FPS that'll make you go crazy, and probably not in the way you're thinking.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga main menu with all the characters
Review

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Review

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the magnum opus of LEGO games. It contains a meticulously detailed semi-open world that represents the exhilaration of Star Wars films. It also injects the zany, hallmark LEGO humor with a dash of innovation in combat, puzzling, and more.

Black Geyser Review Heading
Review

Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness Review

Black Geyser is by all accounts a solid game, but it is a game born in another age, one that ultimately comes with the baggage of its forefathers.

35MM Protagonist
Review

35MM Review

To make an unsubtle comparison, 35MM is like a picture out of focus. Sergey Noskov tries to pack an ambitious amount of stuff within the frame, but forgets what elements might be ill-fitting. When specifically focused on its funereal atmosphere, it's an interesting break from the norm; when weighing its multiple gameplay pitfalls, those strengths begin to fade.

Abermore - Key Art
Review

Abermore Review

Abermore is a first-person stealth game in the same line as Dishonored and Thief, but does it live up to those titles?

Expedition Zero is a first-person survival game that tasks you with collecting samples to escape a quarantine zone in the woods.

tERRORbane Review

Sometimes glitches are hidden well and other times you can't miss them. In tERRORbane, many types of bugs are shoved right in your face and it's your job to take note of each one. That, and try to save the world while you're at it.

Ikai Review

As an exercise in solid sound design and atmosphere, Ikai's take on Japanese folklore stumbles due to shoddy English localization and a few obtuse puzzles.

Martha Is Dead Darkroom
Review

Martha Is Dead Review

In the end, Martha Is Dead conjures up an air of missed opportunity. The WWII backdrop is incredibly realized and the horror atmosphere initially hits the right notes, but as the template becomes more routine and the surprises less interesting it grows more aimless. The few quality ideas get subsumed by the growing tedium of exploring until the stale ending gives its solemn adieu.

phantom breaker omnia review cover
Review

Phantom Breaker: Omnia Review

Phantom Breaker: Omnia is a 2D anime fighting game from Rocket Panda Games that aims to bring back a well-loved franchise. It caters to hardcore fans of the IP as well as newcomers with its simplified controls, and offers an entertaining experience when you're looking to do some mindless bashing for a session or two.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Review

The next installment in the Borderlands series is here, but is Tiny Tina's Wonderlands enough to keep people interested or is it a critical failure?

Rune Factory 5 - Key Art
Review

Rune Factory 5 Review

Rune Factory 5 is a farming/life sim that shakes up some of the formulae of the long-running series, without losing sight of why fans love it.

Anno: Mutationem Review

Anno: Mutationem sports a unique 2D meets 3D artstyle and has the potential to be a fun action game if you can get through the disjointed story and uneven fights.

WWE 2K22 Review

WWE 2K22 is a solid entry in the long-running series thanks to improved gameplay and a solid suite of modes. Just don't expect a brand new WWE Universe when you load it up.

Review

Time Loader Review

Time Loader travels back in time for a movie-length excursion into puzzle-solving, platforming, and questionable nostalgia that will be old hat to many.

Aztech Key Art
Review

Aztech Forgotten Gods Review

If there's one overarching takeaway with Lienzo's third effort is that it could've been more. Aside from the soundtrack and some nostalgia-driven creative decisions, I can see this tapestry being improved – marginally or otherwise – in every other respect. That doesn’t outright disregard its accomplishments, but it does dampen my enthusiasm to recommend it, aside from genre fans. Taken as a whole, Aztech Forgotten Gods manages to stay airborne but never truly soars.

Young Souls
Review

Young Souls Review

Young Souls is a game with plenty of good ideas but it never really comes together to take advantage of it. While its art and tone may grip you, its tedious gameplay and lack of experimentation late-game leave me wishing for more

Spiritual successor to The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince, The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a JRPG with hand drawn visuals and a heartfelt story.

Review

Life Is Strange Remastered Collection Review

Back when they were hitting fever pitch (early/mid 2010s), I was getting reeled into a number of episodic games. DONTNOD's Life is Strange was among them. So, when it was announced that co-developers Deck Nine and Black Tower Studios were helming a remaster duo pack of this beloved first season and prequel, Before the Storm, I had a keen interest in revisiting it. The pertinent concerns become two-fold: how these entries hold up and if enough TLC was given by current remaster standards.

primordia horatio and crispin

Primordia Review

With a not so great Switch port, Primordia's excellent world building, gorgeous art and compelling main duo still shine through, for those willing to put up with illogical puzzles and forgettable side characters.

Review

What Lies In The Multiverse Review

We can only wonder if there are other universes out there and how many there are... What Lies In The Multiverse is a cartoon adventure with a heart that crosses various dimensions in a story about order and chaos. Jump and puzzle your way through to your reality.

Little Orpheus Main Logo
Review

Little Orpheus Review

Despite branching out to a traditional genre, the chief concern with The Chinese Room's latest is gameplay yet again. Instead of getting into an argument about "walking sims" or what a game truly is this time, Little Orpheus is a case of solid audio/visual chops and a fun Cold War-era yarn weighed down by the continuous tedium of an unadventurous platformer.

The title of Horizon Forbidden West, with Aloy traveling through a snowy mountain range
Review

Horizon Forbidden West Review

Horizon Forbidden West is a far more confident sequel that builds on its predecessor's foundations, even if it iterates more than innovates.

Shadow Warrior 3 Review

Shadow Warrior 3 wears its inspirations on its sleeve, providing a fun boomer shooter campaign that doesn't quite live up to Lo Wang's prior adventures.

CrossfireX Review

CrossfireX is a baffling first-person shooter that fails on every level, even if all you're looking for is a good time playing something bad.
