The Drifter Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
I haven’t seen this much drama in a point-and-click game since The Dig. The Drifter, from developer Powerhoof and Dave Lloyd, is a narrative-driven point-and-click experience that puts the user in the shoes of a drifter named Mick, who is trying to make it back to his family for his mother’s funeral. Along the way, he gets caught in a web of murder and mayhem and is forced into lightning-quick dec...[Read More]
Thank You for Your Application Review (PC)
Grammarly does not like the fact that there isn’t a comma in that name. Oh, well. Grammarly will have to live. Thank You for Your Application from developer Ice Lemon Tea Studio hit Steam this past Friday. It’s a logical deduction game that is led by a dystopian backdrop and a funny set of rules. If you have ever played a Carmen Sandiego game or the Phoenix Wright series, then you will understand ...[Read More]
Mina the Hollower Review (PC)
Does anyone ever feel like difficulty should be an afterthought, and games should be driven by fun and the feeling of progression? Just me? Cool. Mina the Hollower from developer Yacht Club Games is a 2D action-adventure game that prides itself on complicated levels, massive enemies, and a return to a simpler, more difficult time with gaming. It’s a hoot, but a horse of a hoot. Led by longevity an...[Read More]
SoulQuest Review (PC)
There is something magical about a hack-and-slash action platformer. Nintendo lived off these things when bringing the NES to the American market. And this game is a good reminder of those old gaming days. SoulQuest from developers SoulBlade Studio, LLC, and TomasJPereyra, is a perceived mindless hack-and-slash experience that is driven by a good old revenge story backdrop. That backdrop is proppe...[Read More]

RetroRealms – Halloween and Ash vs. Evil Dead Review (Xbox Series X)
There was some charm that existed within 16-bit side scrollers. These types of games were very identifiable to the 90s gaming era and usually drove both the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo systems. Both systems were built on a high-quality 2D experience that drove gamers and profits, and which caused the great video game war of the ’90s to reach its zenith. Having been a huge gamer from the ...[Read More]
Death’s Gambit: Afterlife Review
When a game has the words ‘challenging’ and ‘deep RPG elements’ in the description, you know you’re in for a ride. As is the case with Death’s Gambit: Afterlife, a 2D action platformer that has all the right amount of toughness and depth in the backend to satisfy any misogynistic Dark Souls player. Of course, it’s a hard sale to me, but one that I understand why someone else with a fair amount of ...[Read More]
Wildfire (Switch) Review
I am not good at video games. I sit before you a 29-year-old whose “peak” was either in 2010 when I was the 94th best Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection player (PSP) worldwide for a total of 3 weeks OR in June 2020 when I was ranked in the top 5% of all Team Fight Tactics players in North America for about a month. I mention this not as a way to humbly brag and tip my fedora, but instead to indicate that...[Read More]
Ori and the Will of the Wisps Review
To say that to play Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an emotional rollercoaster would be an understatement. Filled with incredible, joyful highs and soul-crushing lows, Will of the Wisps is one of the few games in the last year that has truly held a vice grip on my heart. Developed by Moon Studios, this action-adventure Metroidvania is masterfully crafted and manages the perfect balance of intrigu...[Read More]
The King’s Bird
2D platformers face a unique, if not more difficult challenge in creating believable and alluring worlds when compared to the more contemporary first person shooters and action oriented games of today. The big problem being; how can a game compete, through its visuals, sounds, and storytelling, all the while doing so with one less dimension? When you first start up The King’s Bird it may seem like...[Read More]
