The Fridge is Red (Cancer and Alcohol is Psychological Horror)

The Fridge is Red (Cancer and Alcohol is Psychological Horror)

  Highly hyped, and wrongly maligned by some, The Fridge is Red has received valid mixed criticism. There’s really only one thing to complain about, in my opinion, but the story and mechanics, blah nah! That I was surprised at. Here I go again, listen. Psychological horror succeeds primarily if it has a strong storytelling […]

NeverAwake (Nightmare Coma Bullet Hell Shmup)

NeverAwake (Nightmare Coma Bullet Hell Shmup)

  Wow what a literal and figurative nightmare of hellish bullets! Been awhile since I reviewed any games in the shmup category, but this has been the only one to catch my attention. Most shooters are reworked versions of everything that’s come before. Rarely have they been inventive. Occasional goodies have appeared over the years, […]

TimeMelters (Third-Person Dark Fantasy Witch Strategy)

  Oooo here’s an interesting one yay. All I knew was we got an indie team with some sort of witch game. Cool, because this has been a witch kind of past month. We got Acid Witch review dropped last week, we got the new Atomic Witch dropping soon (review coming this week), and now […]

No Place for Bravery (Gory Pixelated Adventure RPG)

No Place for Bravery (Gory Pixelated Adventure RPG)

  Yeah man I read some hate, some of that vitriol about this game, and it rather surprised me. Was I like into bad games? No, you fool, remember the reality of it all! Most gaming sites, especially bigger ones, crap out reviews en masse, and their “critics” play a few minutes and think they […]

Mothmen 1966 (Retro PC Pulp Cryptid Horror)

Mothmen 1966 (Retro PC Pulp Cryptid Horror)

  Yo I dig this. My first experience with computer games, other than a brief sampling on a friend’s Commodore 64, was the Apple IIe. Now, granted, I only played Lemonade Stand at the time, but always dug that green/black color scheme, the boxy look, and the booping speaker from inside the harddrive, not to […]

Cartel Tycoon (1980s Narcotics Business Sim)

Cartel Tycoon (1980s Narcotics Business Sim)

  Lol what a perfect idea for a game. I love playing sims, mostly those of the deep dive type made famous by Side Meier. Civilization, duh. In his incredible programming career, dude also started the tycoon craze, whereby the player runs some sort of business. He was not the first to conceive of this […]

Expedition Zero (Finish Your Chores Survival Horror)

Expedition Zero (Finish Your Chores Survival Horror)

  Here I go again with a survival horror review, am I going to say it? Yes. The genre usually relies on story. In many cases it’s more like playing a book than a game, because the player is left to click on obvious items while following a force-fed path as the plot unfolds. I […]

Martha is Dead (Folkloric Stolen Identity Psychological Horror Game)

Martha is Dead (Folkloric Stolen Identity Psychological Horror Game)

  Here again I feel like I have to pull out the “you just don’t get it” mantra due to negative reviews I skimmed concerning this latest psychological horror, ahem, masterpiece. Ugh, it’s the same old, tiresome complaints, too. The gameplay is tedious, the shock horror was unnecessary, the story was too long, blah blah […]

Turbo Overkill (Chainsaw Leg Cyberpunk Retro FPS)

Turbo Overkill (Chainsaw Leg Cyberpunk Retro FPS)

  Dang I don’t think anyone can do any wrong with this type of game anymore. The resurgence of interest in retro FPS has been, well, not so much a resurgence as an institution. I’ve covered a few games of this type over the past few years, and this recent drop is just sick. Set […]

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt (Just Slaughter Everything Dark Battle Royale)

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt (Just Slaughter Everything Dark Battle Royale)

  As we all painfully wait for Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 to finally freaking be released, us vampire fanatics had to contend with admittedly good text-adventures on Steam, the news of an upcoming, and looking average RPG (Swansong) and, hmm, wait, a fooking battle royale just crush everything game? I get to use vampire […]
