Star Wars Outlaws Review

Thu 10 Jul 2025 - 18:29

I said it once and I'll say it again: I love Star Wars, but even I will admit that the series has had some missteps throughout the years. The recent shut down of Star Wars Hunters comes to mind, and I think, personally, would've had a better longevitiy if it made it to Steam and Xbox. But, I digress, as that's neither here nor there. Today, I want to focus on a title that came out last year that seems to have been ignored by many and passed off by others: Star Wars Outlaws. It's a pity it got such a weird reception from fans as this is actually a pretty fun Star Wars game, if not one of my favorites.

Bunny Battle Nemesis Review

Sat 5 Jul 2025 - 17:24

Every so often, a game comes along that grabs my attention to where I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s not often but it does happen and today’s game is one such game. Not just for how many times I called it BAD Bunny Nemesis (don’t ask me why I did) and not Bunny Battle Nemesis, but for some fun, if basic, gameplay and a neat artstyle that I instantly fell in love with.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army Review

Wed 2 Jul 2025 - 12:01

I need to make a confession: I have never played an Atlus game before. I’ve certainly heard of them and am familiar with their reputation. It’s hard to exist in the video game space without the name Persona 5 coming up at least once. Metaphor ReFantazio, one of their most recent projects, released less than a year ago to critical acclaim. Garnering numerous accolades and being praised for its story and well designed characters. Even the most successful companies start somewhere though, and it’s interesting to take a look back at that history. Either out of curiosity due to the recent hits, or because a remaster of a lesser known title makes its way into the spotlight. Enter Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

Ruffy and the Riverside Review

Fri 27 Jun 2025 - 13:47

Ready for a kooky one? Ruffy and the Riverside is one of the quirkiest games I’ve played in quite a while, and though it took me a bit to warm up to it, once I started to get comfortable in the world, I found myself really appreciating the vision the developers set out to bring to life. Ruffy is an adventurous open world puzzle extravaganza with a kaleidoscope of retro and hand drawn graphical treats to enjoy whilst figuring out its wealth of brain teasing tests sprinkled judiciously around the town of Riverside and its many outlying regions. It’s weird, it’s wildly inventive, and it’s worthy of your time!

Shuffle Tactics Review

Thu 26 Jun 2025 - 12:28

Roguelikes are meant to be tough. The best ones are designed in a way that the gameplay loop encourages you to learn as you fail. That is, until your learning becomes so good that you succeed. Then maybe they’ll add on an additional challenge, or another stepping stone. Some even reward you as you progress, making it easier to succeed, eventually. Not all of them do though, and that’s not inherently a fault. Sometimes it’s rewarding to try, try, and try again…as long as things feel fair in the end. Unfortunately, as much as I loved the preview demo I played of Shuffle Tactics, the full experience of the newly released game ratchets up the difficulty with unforgiving randomness when it comes to succeeding in this roguelike genre it firmly sits within.

Atlyss Early Access Impressions

Wed 25 Jun 2025 - 10:28

Kiseff has made an amazing adventure with fast action, impactful class fantasy, relentless enemies, a strong emphasis on defense and positioning, a healthy amount of customization options, and the ability to host a small server of friends! Atlyss races come in 5 forms, mischievous imps, rabbit/fox like poons, the cheng rodents, corvid like byrdles, the scaley goobers the kobolds. You can play with face characteristics, tails, species-defining characteristics like ears or beaks, body size (we all know about this), color, and body patterns. It’s satisfying playing with these tools, making your character. You’re a reincarnated creature, summoned by the Guardian, Angela, to prevent the world from succumbing to corrupt energies. You get acquainted with the hub, accept your starting quest, and begin a deceptively simple task of killing slimes.

Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping Review

Wed 18 Jun 2025 - 19:52

Just when you think you’re out…they pull you right back in! Eugene McQuacklin is back to quackin’ a case in Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping. This time around, he’s got a partner in crime helping him, as the veritably enthusiastic fan-turned-Watson wannabe Freddy Frederson joins you throughout your sleuthing search. I thoroughly enjoyed the first entry in this series, “The Secret Salami”, so I was very excited to see what kind of changes, if any, would be made in the second game. I wouldn’t consider it a “sequel” as it doesn’t attach too much story to the first game, and you can safely play either in whichever order you’d like. I’m happy to report that the same charm that made the first game such a memorable and fun little experience is overflowing in The Ghost of Glamping, and I actually preferred this story and the way it was told even more. Right after I cracked the case, I immediately hopped on the web to see if we’d get more time with the amazing characters and world of Duck Detective. It’s that good.

Yep, it’s SUMMER GAME FEST 2025 and I have to say? Compared to last years which, in my opinion, was a really dull and disappointing show, this one was way better by a mile. Sure, there were some games that didn’t interest me, personally, but, overall, this was a really good show and I want to highlight some of the bigger announcements and ones that may be of interest to you!

Immortal Redneck Review

Sat 14 Jun 2025 - 14:09

Remember Redneck Rampage? That old DOS FPS from back in the 90’s where you control a redneck fighting aliens? Well, what happens when you put a redneck in Egypt and tell him to fight mummies and other egyptian creatures? You get ‘Immortal Redneck’ from Crema Games: A fun yet challenging FPS that, despite some setbacks, is honestly one of the more fun FPS’s I’ve played all year.

Date Everything Review - Yes, Really!

Fri 13 Jun 2025 - 18:54

Date Everything. Yes, really. In Date Everything, you’re able to D.A.T.E. all the items in the game. Of course, this means “Directly Acknowledge a Thing’s Existence.” Silliness aside for a moment, Date Everything is an abundant treasure trove of creativity; a veritable kaleidoscope of talent on display that bursts from every voice actor, character design, and writing choice. There is so much packed into this visual playhouse that fans of dating sims, playful writing, and inventive premise ideas should not hesitate to give this experience a try. You’ll laugh, you’ll smile, and most of all, you’ll fall in love with everything, including the game itself.

Life Below Preview - An Underwater City Builder

Fri 13 Jun 2025 - 15:01

The city builder genre is a bit…dry, don’t you think? Developer Megapop is here to change that with their upcoming game, Life Below, published by Kasedo Games. In a refreshing twist, the game takes place below the waves, as you play as an ocean guardian named Thalassa, who is tasked by Gaia to resurrect struggling underwater ecosystems using coral, seashells, lures, and much more to attract and satisfy local wildlife and flora. Through the use of quite a few resource management systems, you’ll slowly start to bring life to the sparsely populated ocean floor.

Revenge of the Savage Planet Review

Sun 8 Jun 2025 - 14:33

There will never be enough cooperative story games in this world. I can’t get enough of them. But, I still want them to be well-designed, fun to play, and easily accessible to play with whomever I want. Revenge of the Savage Planet is a sequel that checks every single box and does it with tongue in cheek and cheeks on face. I played through the game from start to finish with my wife and we both thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent figuring out every puzzle, exploring every cave and mountaintop, and scanning each and every living thing around us, all the while being ferried along by a wealth of humor and personality mixed into a tasty slurry.

Spirit of the North 2 Review

Sat 7 Jun 2025 - 13:49

Becoming one with nature. Enjoying moments of zen in beautiful surroundings. Running through vast environments, enjoying the thrill of exploration and discovery. Developer Infuse Studio has refined these experiences in the sequel to the acclaimed Spirit of the North. The sheer scale and opportunity of the new land you find yourself as a fox in is lovingly crafted at every peak, step, and turn. If you’re able to flow with the up and down nature of the relaxed vibe of the exploration parts of the game, and then the much more challenging “boss” sections at the end of each area, Spirit of the North 2 will be a special game that is buoyed by its beauty, and raised by its unique charm.

Shovel Knight Dig Review

Thu 5 Jun 2025 - 19:14

So, confession: I never played Shovel Knight before. I knew of it and I was always curious about it, but I never really got around to actually playing it. Now, thanks to Shovel Knight Dig, the latest game in the series, I finally was able to play this series and, yeah, it is fun! Though it’s not without flaws. The basic gist of the game is that your loot has been stolen by the evil Drill Knight and you must break a rule you learned in Minecraft and dig straight down into his lair and recover what is rightfully yours once again. A very simple premise yet it’s this simple premise that kept me hooked for hours on end, trying to get that perfect run without having to restart at the very top. But it’s not without flaws and there are two very big flaws that hold it back from being something truly amazing.

Preserve Review

Sat 31 May 2025 - 13:42

There’s something about sitting in the middle of a beautiful landscape, playing Preserve, that makes it even more wondrous. I had the opportunity to write this review while sailing up the Fjords and surrounding Alaska wilderness and I don’t know if there could have been a better setting. I could see an eagle flying around outside the window of my cabin as I made a habitat to place down for its in-game counterpart.  The music playing while we cruised the water matched perfectly, and many times I found myself pausing the game to watch the wildlife around me as I continued to listen to the game's music.
