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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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)
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 […]
