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…
Smushi Come Home Review

Smushi Come Home Review: A Cosy Mushroom Adventure It has become common to see indie games take inspiration from Breath of the Wild. The challenge for devs then lies in taking that inspiration and using it to make your own unique mark. The latest game to attempt that feat is Smushi Come Home. Does this…
Speed Crew Review

Speed Crew Review A few years or at least what feels like a few years I played Overcooked. A game centered around creating and delivering food orders as fast as possible to get the best score possible. It was an enjoyable yet simple concept, but its fun factor was amplified by the chaotic element of…
Tiny Thor Review

Tiny Thor Review: Thor Meets Mario Reading Time: 5 minutes It feels like we’ve officially hit a Renaissance with games that feel like they are love letters to the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis era. I’ve been getting emails about these types of games weekly. All of them trying to make an impression. The latest…
Doomblade Review

Doomblade Review Doomblade is a game that was put on my radar when I went to PaxEast. I remember when I first saw the game I thought “This looks like a more metal Ori and the Will of the Wisp.” The artstyle left so much of an impression that I knew I had to play…
