The Medium (Supernatural Psychic Dead World Survival Horror)

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 […]

Supplice (Retro Sci-Fi Horror FPS with Various Monstrosities)

  Nothing hits better than a game made by gamers familiar with the game they’re about to make you game. And if there’s one community known for that kind of repetition, it’s the Doom modders. Put a bunch of those people together, tap into that retro 1990s FPS action, pixels and all, mix it up […]

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 […]

Barotrauma (Claustrophobic Navigational Incompetence Simulator)

Barotrauma (Claustrophobic Navigational Incompetence Simulator)

  Barotrauma is nothing if not claustrophobic. From the fact that your characters’ heads are mere inches from the ceiling, to the tiny control rooms sectioned off by manually operated doors, you’re instantly set with a sense of dread. A sense of unknown vastness for you to explore in this flimsy, tiny little claustrophobic pillbox. […]

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 […]
