Blacktail (Slavic Dark Fantasy Arrow Combat)

Blacktail (Slavic Dark Fantasy Arrow Combat)

  Here’s a game that’s simply amazing. Little else needs to be said, but here goes. I hadn’t heard word of Blacktail until I saw it drop on GeForce Now, but the premise intrigued me, as it’s essentially billed as an origin story of the legendary witch of Eastern Europe, Baba-Yaga. Taking place in a […]

Pronty (The Worst Part of Zelda as a Setup for One of the Best New Metroidvanias)

  I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a water level. I personally believe that every mediocre game has to check off the “water level” box to make it feel true. Yet Pronty, a seemingly cutesy indie metroidvania, took that and made it the sole focus. But, in the end, they blew me out […]

The Unliving (Undead Army Horror Roguelite Not for Scrubs)

  Ah here’s a nice roguelite, provided you’re not a mad sad bad scrub. I wasn’t aware of The Unliving until I saw it pop up on GeForce Now, and I was intrigued by the basic premise, as well as the awesome 16-bit Sqauresoft aesthetic. Be a necromancer? Sure! Who wouldn’t want to summon the […]

Metal Hellsinger (Death Metal Album Visualizer Doom Clone Crossover)

  This video game is single-handedly one of the best metal albums of 2022 featuring guest appearances from: Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility), Tatiana Shmayluk (Jinjer), Matt Heafy (Trivium), James Forton (Black Crown Initiate), Björn “Speed” Strid (Soilwork), Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God), Dennis Lyxzén (Refused And Invsn), and Serj Tankian (System […]

Choo-Choo Charles (Not Quite How You Remembered Your Childhood Thomas the Tank Engine Simulator)

Choo-Choo Charles (Not Quite How You Remembered Your Childhood Thomas the Tank Engine Simulator)

  Thomas’ face always creeped me out as a child, those dead, beady eyes seemed a little too menacing. It seems as though I wasn’t the only person that believed this, because Choo-Choo Charles is childhood nightmare fuel cranked to 11 with a schlocky coat of paint, reminiscent of straight-to-Netflix classics like Zombeavers and Tucker […]

Steelrising (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity with Killer Robots Action RPG)

  Man has this game been ratted on, phew! The number of mixed reviews recently have been leaning towards the negative, and why? After playing it for a substantial amount of time, I was rather confused by some of what I read, though I can state with certainty that the issue of enough PC power […]

The Callisto Protocol (Alien Crunching Workplace Hazard Survival Horror)

The Callisto Protocol (Alien Crunching Workplace Hazard Survival Horror)

  Crunchy. The Callisto Protocol is the crunchiest game of 2022. Your protagonist’s head (Jacob) will go crunch. The enemies limbs, head, and torsos will go crunch after beating them with a stun baton. Your controller will go crunch after being thrown on the ground of one of the most frustrating dodge mechanics in a video […]

Hallows Hill (Fin de siècle Dead Ghost Girl Escape Room Game)

  Well, here’s a concept I’m now totally sold on. Most of what I receive for video games is through Epic or Steam, with the occasional console tossed in if we feel like it, because, let’s face it, PC ubermensch is a real thing. Console fools and Xbox douchebags (that’s a true fact, they’re all […]

Hello Neighbor 2 (Goosebumps Survival Horror)

Hello Neighbor 2 (Goosebumps Survival Horror)

  I’ve always been a bigger movie dork and music nerd than a gamer, but in the face of doing right by the Captain…looks like it’s time to play them games. What better game to start than the eagerly awaited Hello Neighbor 2. The first installment set the game world on fire with it’s family-friendly […]

Scorn (Anatomically Inaccurate Childbirth Walking Simulator)

  Have you ever wanted to experience the miracles of childbirth at the cellular level? Scorn is probably not an anatomically accurate reinterpretation, but from the mechanically mushy corridors to the gruesome parasite covered protagonist, it’s an absolute delight for horror fans with some of the most incredible art direction of any game I have […]
