Demon’s Souls (The Dark Souls Before Dark Souls)

Demon’s Souls (The Dark Souls Before Dark Souls)

  Before the infamy gained by Dark Souls, From Software tried all of their groundbreaking ideas (arguably first) in the lesser known game called Demon’s Souls. Thanks to Bluepoint Games, Demon’s Souls is updated for modern consoles with systems and visuals built from the ground up. Unless you have vintage systems accessible (is the PS3 […]

No Son of Mine (Shovel to the Head Unwanted Child Horror)

No Son of Mine (Shovel to the Head Unwanted Child Horror)

  I apologize to the dev for sitting on this one for so long but I was swamped. Ugh. Anyway, it never ceases to amaze me how often indie horror games smash the big names into the ground like so many unwanted children with shovels. If you haven’t figured out yet that’s going to be […]

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle (Self-Aware Area 51 Sci-Fi Horror)

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle (Self-Aware Area 51 Sci-Fi Horror)

  Having played the original, Daymare 1998, I was pretty stoked to hear about a sequel, or rather prequel since this is taking place four years prior. If you’re not familiar with its predecessor, it was a homage to the Resident Evil series, taking many of its ideas, purposefully, from the franchise, equaling what is […]

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (The Game Actually Released Complete This Time)

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (The Game Actually Released Complete This Time)

  I loved Cyberpunk 2077 when it came out. Controversies aside, the prospect of (minor spoilers ahead) a stowaway in your head trying to change who you are really intrigues me. Even the ideas of just cyberpunk in general, installing augmentations to your body, and everything a mess of wires and bootleg technology. Now though, […]

Blasphemous II (Sins are Good and Evil is the Way to Win Metroidvania)

Blasphemous II (Sins are Good and Evil is the Way to Win Metroidvania)

  Blasphemous II is fantastic. If you loved the first one, the sequel is everything that was but better. A cool weapon? Now there’s (at least) three to choose from. Amazing bosses? Blasphemous II introduces even more incredible designs. New mechanics that allow you to backtrack through old places unlocking secrets? Dozens more are here. […]

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales (Intrepid Story-Slicing Privateer Simulator)

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales (Intrepid Story-Slicing Privateer Simulator)

  How does a night of transporting yourself into books, stealing key plot devices, and selling them to pay off your jail sentence sound? The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is this and more, layering pages of different plots on top of each other in a top-down, point-and-click/turn-based combat action adventure. With a more than serviceable […]

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 […]

Atomic Heart (Russian FPS with a Protagonist Who Should Have Been Silent)

Atomic Heart (Russian FPS with a Protagonist Who Should Have Been Silent)

  Atomic Heart is almost the kind of game it wants to be. That being a Bioshock-inspired, Russian-art-directed, cyberpunk-esque, dystopian, thought-provoking murder-simulator, but misses the mark in one key area: it doesn’t let you think for yourself. Instead, the protagonist annoyingly spews opinions at every little thing he could possibly have. Therein lies its biggest […]

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 […]
