The Case of the Golden Idol (Gruesome Deaths Point-and-Click Detective Game)
The Case of the Golden Idol is in the style of point and click adventures from the early 2000s mixed with a modern macabre flair akin to the likes of Return of the Obra Dinn. It asks you to be the detective with as little hand-holding as possible, throwing you into a world with […]

Decarnation (Ghastly PTSD Adventure Horror)
You’d think it wasn’t at all possible to bend a genre in a new direction, but here we are, with Decarnation. When I first got a glimpse of the visuals in the promo, I thought immediately of the classic JRPGs and action-adventure titles localized by Square/Square Enix for the SNES back in the 1990s. […]

Cult of the Lamb (Cutesy Cultist Simulation)
Oh Devolver Digital, you will forever be more interesting than any other publisher to date, continuing to release weird, wacky games that beg the question “How cute can we make human sacrifice?” The answer: adorable. From developers Massive Monster, Cult of The Lamb was a game that I thoroughly enjoyed. Not only is it […]

The Medium (Supernatural Psychic Dead World Survival Horror)
This one been around a bit, but the nice devs at Bloober Team sent me The Medium for review and, well, I sat on it awhile lol. About a year, maybe two? Luckily, the cloud version is dropping for Nintendo Switch tomorrow (June 29th), and now I can act like there’s something new to […]

9 Years of Shadows (Colorful Music and Flying Bear Ghost Metroidvania)
There are a few necessary features for any title claiming the “metroidvania” tag to succeed. Let me lay them all out, alphabetically: difficulty, mechanics, plot, and themes. They need to be challenging, yet not infuriating, feature multiple avenues of development, item unlocks, and non-linear play. a sick good plot, and overreaching themes that give […]

Darq: Ultimate Edition (I’m a Sick Kid with a Weird Obsession with Walls Vertigo Simulator)
I think Darq is one of those bite-sized experiences that can either take a few months or be finished in a single sitting. It harkens back to puzzle games of an older era where hand-holding is at a minimum, and confusion is at the maximum. The game begins with no introduction, no tutorials, only […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
