Review: Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince

Review: Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX
Everyone strives to find their niche, the one thing that they can do incredibly well. Maybe you're really good at building furniture, or the go-to person to cook up a perfect steak. Sure, there's a lot of other things you may enjoy doing, but there's the one particular thing that makes you stand out. Read More
Review: Contra: Rogue Corps
I can still remember a Christmas Day back when I was in elementary school, unwrapping my very first video game console: a Nintendo Entertainment System. Until that day video games had been forbidden in our house (they aren't educational!), so my siblings and myself were a bit confused at the gift in front of our eyes. Read More
PAX West 2019 Hands-on: BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre
Fast food corporations have taken over Hell, and Satan's son is going on a booze-fueled rampage to stop them. That's the quickest way I can sum up one of the last games I got my hands on at PAX West this year, BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre. Read More

PAX West 2019 Hands-on: Indivisible
When I was a kid, I was really in to video games, and I used to spend a lot of time doodling out ideas for what I thought would be cool games (I was a nerd, don't judge me). One idea I remember clearly having was a cross between a JRPG and a side-scroller. The closest I've found in recent memory was the game Exist Archive, but my idea was one that had full platformer elements as well. Read More
Review: Whipseey and the Lost Atlas
These days, modern day and retro-styled platformers have seen quite a bit of a comeback. In between modern remakes and reimaginings of established franchises, indie titles that have made a serious impression on me (looking at you Cuphead), and new titles that feel comfortable in their own skin, I was feeling pretty good about the direction this genre is going.

Review: SolSeraph
I grew up back during the times of the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64, and it's an era that I have much nostalgia for...despite never owning either system. Before I turned 13 or so, my parents did not allow any video games in our home ("They aren't educational."), so I got most of my gaming memories from time spent at friend's houses. Read More

E3 2019 Hands-on: The Riftbreaker
If there's one thing that attending multiple E3 and PAX West expos has taught me, it's that the Polish indie games scene is thriving. Over the past few years, both expos have had a booth dedicated to titles coming from a country that isn't exactly the first place that comes to mind when one thinks about gaming (aside from CD Projekt Red, probably).

E3 2019 Hands-on: The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan
In the chaotic and noisy environment of a gaming expo, it's not too often that you see a demo for a darker, narrative-heavy game. Titles that want to immerse the player are going to struggle to present themselves against a backdrop of flashy lights and loud music...although that's not to say that it is an impossible feat.
