Review: Natsuki Chronicles

Posted on February 26, 2021February 26, 2021 by Eliot Lefebvre
For a while there, it really looked like we were done with side-scrolling shoot-em-ups for good. I say that without any particular joy at that fact, obviously, because... Read More

Review: Turrican Flashback

Posted on January 29, 2021January 29, 2021 by Eliot Lefebvre
It may be hard to remember now, but there was a time when a video game franchise was based as much upon where the game was released as... Read More

Review: Olija

Posted on January 28, 2021January 28, 2021 by Eliot Lefebvre
It’s always refreshing to review a game that isn’t trying to be anything other than itself. There’s more to discuss when it comes to Olija, of course, but... Read More

Gamer Escape’s Top 5 Reviewed Games of 2020

Posted on December 31, 2020December 31, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
It has arrived: the end of the year. A year that felt simultaneously gone in a flash yet unbearably long. It sure has been an…interesting…start to a new... Read More

Review: Wingspan

Posted on December 29, 2020December 29, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
It was only after my play of Wingspan that I realized the game was actually an adaptation of an existing board game rather than a totally original concept.... Read More

Review: Morbid: The Seven Acolytes

Posted on December 10, 2020December 10, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
In a way, Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is a very simple game to review. This is a game somewhere on the greater Soulslike spectrum, so the question is... Read More

Preview: Override 2: Super Mech League

Posted on November 23, 2020November 23, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
You know what’s kind of weird? Virtual On hasn’t gotten any kind of re-release on Steam or anything of the sort. There have been re-releases of the games... Read More

Review: Strobophagia

Posted on November 12, 2020November 12, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
You want to know a game I absolutely love? The Beginner’s Guide. Except that line is kind of a lie, because The Beginner’s Guide is only a game... Read More

Review: Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin

Posted on November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
A game like Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin feels like an eventual inevitability. I’ve noted before that Demon’s Souls is a game that’s spawned a lot of imitations,... Read More

Review: Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla

Posted on November 9, 2020November 9, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
The Assassin’s Creed series is, in some ways, kind of odd to review. You don’t need me to tell you that. The series has been going with a... Read More

Review: Tears of Avia

Posted on October 20, 2020October 20, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
I’m not sure if it’s insulting or just accurate to say that Tears of Avia is a game with a backstory that immediately feels more interesting than any... Read More

Review: Onee Chanbara Origin

Posted on October 14, 2020October 14, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
So here’s your Japanese lesson for the day. “Onee-chan” is an affectionate term for an older sister. “Chanbara” means swordfighting. Thus, the title of this particular game series... Read More

Review: Ys Origin [Switch]

Posted on September 29, 2020September 29, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
The Ys series is an odd one in the annals of JRPGs. On the one hand, it is very much in the original school of these games, with... Read More

Preview: Remothered: Broken Porcelain

Posted on September 19, 2020September 19, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
As someone who really does love horror as a genre, horror games are a tricky beast to get right. Even more than other media, video games seem to... Read More

Review: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

Posted on September 8, 2020September 8, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
In many ways, this game is the easiest game to review that I have ever been handed. Here is the review: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is Kingdoms of... Read More

Preview: Dirt 5 – Playground Mode

Posted on September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
Despite the name, Dirt 5 is not actually the fifth installment in an epic JRPG series about the soil beneath our feet. I know, I was a bit... Read More

Review: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls In a Dungeon? Infinite Combate

Posted on August 26, 2020August 26, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
At a certain point, you simply have to accept that there are certain flaws in your approach to life that you clearly do not have much interest in... Read More

Preview: Eastern Exorcist

Posted on August 14, 2020August 14, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
You know what’s kind of a shame about Demon’s Souls? For all the influence that it has had on the game industry in a positive way, a lot... Read More

Preview: Windbound

Posted on August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
An interesting aspect of games that emphasize survival as a core gameplay mechanic is that… well, most of them usually aren’t really about survival in a sense so... Read More

Review: Fairy Tail

Posted on July 30, 2020July 30, 2020 by Eliot Lefebvre
Some games are really tough to review coming in from the outside. Case in point? Fairy Tail. Much like when I reviewed Gensou Skydrift, I am aware walking... Read More
