Quantic Dreams is one of those studios I have come to respect the more and more I play their games; there's something to to be said about writing a good narrative in a medium that largely gets by on passive, throwaway stories. Detroit: Become Human i...more

The first Hellblade was a sensory experience in the most nightmarish of ways; the binaural, mimicking the voices of psychosis, is the kind of thing that could not just be casually engaged with. Senua's story, and ultimate sacrifice, was something to ...more
I must say, I have a great fondness for playing split screen platformer games - Rayman Origins/Legends, Super Mario 3D World, and the recent Super Mario Bros Wonder all were distinctly enjoyed with another person, making them a much more enthusiastic...more
Climbing is another one of those mechanics in games that we just kind of "do." Like walking, or jumping, most games use them purely as a mechanic of movement, with no real gameplay impact beyond the banal. With Assassin's Creed and the newest Zelda i...more
"Stare at the scary thing" is a definite goal of horror; asking the player to see (or avoid seeing) the creature, the entity, the world moving around them. The Exit 8 makes a game out of it: The player finds themselves in a looping hallway, with a ch...more
Talk about feeling disappointment; just as I have gotten back into playing my Xbox regularly, I decided to trek back into Gamepass with The Last Case of benedict Fox, a Metroidvania with a Lovecraftian and surrealistic look to it. It should have been...more

Sometimes you just need a good 3D platformer as a fun palette cleanser after a grueling at time at work - that's where Koa and the Five Pirates comes in, as a charming little level-based platformer that doesn't overstay its welcome, and packs just en...more
Good Job! is one of those games that you absolutely need to play co-op; I enjoyed it both with a good fiend and later with my significant other, and both times it made for a hilariously fantastic experience. Good Job! is a puzzle game that's most fun...more
I think there's a joy to simple games; not every game needs a multitude of systems, with giant areas full of multitudes of secrets, with extensive backtracking for multiple quests. Islets isn't that; it's a simple Metroidvania with simple mechanics, ...more
