Ebenezer and The Invisible World Review

Ebenezer and The Invisible World Review Before PaxWest 2023, I never thought in a million years that I would be playing a game centered around the story of A Christmas Carol. That was before I was introduced to Ebenezer and the Invisible World. A game that depicts Scrooge as a platforming people’s champion who lays…
Worldless Review

Worldless Review I saw the trailer for Worldless a while back and it stood out to me simply because it looked different. At first glance, the trailer felt like it was a mixture of Hallow Knight, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Journey, all games that I deeply vibe with. So when I…
Backpack Hero Review

Backpack Hero Review I talked about being excited about Slay the Princess after PaxEast because of how unique it was. Another game that caught my attention at PaxEast was a game about a mouse and backpack. Now I pride myself on being good when it comes to managing my inventory when it comes to games.…
SCHiM Review

SCHiM Review I don’t remember when I first came across SCHiM. I remember seeing a trailer for it, and feeling mixed about it yet hopeful. A combination of the game’s artstyle and its hopping from shadow to shadow premise had me intrigued. Yet I wondered if it would be engaging. Would that premise grow boring…
Phantom Rose 2 Sapphire Review:

Phantom Rose 2 Sapphire Review: I remember coming across Phantom Rose 2 at PaxWest. Upon first glance, it seemed to be a deckbuilding indie with some Persona flair. Then I got hands-on with it and discovered that it was a layered deckbuilding Roguelike game. Roguelikes are my kryptonite. I’ll try any type of game under…
Slay the Princess Review

Slay the Princess Review There I was at PaxEast exploring the sea of games and minding my Black ass business. When I came upon a game that would become the talk of PaxEast among media members. This game didn’t showcase complex game mechanics nor did it display a memorable protagonist. Instead, its demo wowed through…
Long Gone Days Review

Long Gone Days Review As Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker sang in the movie, Rush Hour “War huh, what is it good for absolutely nothing.” I’ve played tons of war-centric games over the years, but not many have tackled it from the perspective of the bystanders and refugees. The game, Long Gone Days from the…
Fae Farm Review

Fae Farm Review On the surface, Faefarm looks like a game that wouldn’t be up my alley. It’s cutsie Chibi-like art style and it’s emphasis on crafting, farming, fishing, and dating. I’d put it in the same “that’s not for me” box that I did with other farming simulators like Stardew Valley, Harvestella, and the…
Tales of Kenzera: Zau Review

Tales of Kenzera: Zau Review This is how the game is described on their webpage: “Wield the dance of the shaman. Reclaim your father’s spirit. Brave the beautiful and treacherous land of Kenzera with the God of Death in Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU, a metroidvania-style adventure crafted by Surgent Studios. Wield the dance of the…
Goodbye Volcano High Review

Goodbye Volcano High Review Goodbye Volcano High was a game that I had on my radar since its announcement back at a PlayStation Conference event in 2020. It’s been a long road of development for the team at KO_Op studio since then. COVID happened and a new writer was brought in to reboot the whole…
Fort Solis Review

Fort Solis Review There’s been a bit of a debate about video games being too much like movies. Some people enjoy cinematic games while others consider it just an interactive movie. I happen to be among those that enjoy cinematic games. I thought enjoyed Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain. The latest game of this…
Adore Review

Adore Review As a kid I’d often wonder what a Pokémon game would be like if it was an action game instead of a turn based game. What if you threw out a ball and then started battling just like the anime. The game, Adore attempts to bring that concept that I wondered about to…
Venba Review

Venba Review Often I find that good storytelling is often a narrative that is relatable even if the characters are different or in different circumstances than you. This is the case with Venba. Venba is a narrative cooking game that depicts the story of family trying to make their in this world. So how is…
Arcadian Atlas Review

Arcadian Atlas Review Arcadian Atlas is a strategy RPG that has been in the making for a long time. It was put on my radar when I met with Twin Otter Studios at PaxEast and it left me rooting for the game. There are a number of reasons for that. One reason is that it…
Viewfinder Review

Viewfinder Review As a gamer, I’ve found that I’m picky when it comes to puzzles in video games. Zelda puzzles don’t really hold my interest, yet the ones in Planet of Lana and the Uncharted games speak to me. Due to my taste, I’m shocked when I find a puzzle game that I completely vibe…
