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)
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 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)
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 […]

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 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)
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 […]

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 […]

Steelrising (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity with Killer Robots Action RPG)
Man has this game been ratted on, phew! The number of mixed reviews recently have been leaning towards the negative, and why? After playing it for a substantial amount of time, I was rather confused by some of what I read, though I can state with certainty that the issue of enough PC power […]

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 […]
