Demon Tides is a very fun platformer with charismatic characters and smooth movement. It’s the perfect spring or summer game to play just to get into the season and remind everyone to sit back and enjoy the waves sometime.

Baladins is a breath of fresh air. Its board game inspired playstyle, coupled with branching dialogue and open quests, allows me to explore and experience it at my own pace. Adding the ability to play with up to three other people makes it feel like I’m sitting around a board game with friends. The loop mechanic adds an interesting element, refreshing the board every six turns, but it never became troublesome, as the game offers plenty to explore and do.

When a story is told well, one that makes me laugh, cry, and even feel angry, then I know I’ve experienced a truly great piece of art. Perfect Tides: Station to Station is one of those games. Its raw storytelling, emotional highs and lows, and expressive animation come together to create a point-and-click adventure that’s hard to put down. There are only a handful of games that I find difficult to walk away from, and Perfect Tides: Station to Station is one of them.

Platform reviewed:  Steam Also on:  PC (Steam),   Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S Price: $14.99 GIGASWORD is a side scrolling 2D puzzle action metroidvania game where I played as Ezra,  a thief in the city trying to survive, when the human population is on the brink of starvation. I was tasked with ascending the ancient tower in search of a crystal called Gnosis. Helping me was the Gigasword, the titular weapon of the game, a massive sword about the size o

I love Asteroids. One of my fondest memories is going to the local bowling alley as a kid and playing it in their small arcade, which was definitely a thing back in the day. I even ended up on their high score leaderboard and held a spot in the top five for quite some time. So when I saw Aluna Rift, a new arcade-inspired game that clearly takes cues from Asteroids, I was hoping it would capture that same nostalgic feeling for me.

Ok, I couldn’t resist the KPop Demon Hunters reference when talking about Demonschool. Both are influenced by anime, both are about kicking demon butt, and both are fantastic in their own way. Demonschool blends everything I love about strategy games and JRPGs, but somehow makes all of it feel far more accessible without losing any of the challenge.

The Rogue Prince of Persia is a welcome addition to the rogue-like family, mixing amazing fluid animations and satisfying combat. It provides an enjoyable progression without the feeling of having to start over every time I would die.

And Roger feels less like a game and more like an experience. It has gameplay elements, sure, but from the moment I started, I knew I was in for a ride. At its core, it’s an interactive visual novel. But how it pulled me into the story, through the narrative and interactions, is something very different than any other visual novels I’ve played.

Platform reviewed: PC Price: $19.99 USD Growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s, I felt like I was living in the golden age of platforming games, from Super Mario 64 to Banjo Kazooie. These types of games were enjoyed by so many people and it seemed like the next evolution from the side-scrolling games of the decade before. Then it seemed like developers stopped making them. Either they were following the money making trends, where graphics changed to more expansive open worl

Platform Reviewed : Steam Also on : Switch Price : $19.99 I'll be the first to admit that I am a loud-and-proud Nintendo fan. Whenever a first-party title releases it usually grabs my attention. Heck, I even purchased Donkey Kong Country Returns all three times. The reason I mention this is because even though I love me some Ninty, there's one thing they do that I don't like: neglect successful formulas. Case in point: the Wario Land games. I love the gameplay of those titles

CrossCode is an action RPG that arrives on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4. The game is inspired by 16 bit era RPGs and it represents the genre very well. The game is set in the future where gamers play as their avatars in a MMO game called CrossWorld. You play as Lea, an avatar that lost her memory (and her voice). Working with a programmer, you enter CrossWorld in hopes to unravel the mystery of your background. I'm not going to go too much into the story, becau

If you are a fan of strategy role playing games (SRPGs), then you probably heard of the Langrisser series. If you haven't play the first and second game in the series, you are in luck, as the games are coming to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch as a bundle. Both games play very similar, and the game play is easy to learn, yet complicated enough to make it interesting and challenging for seasoned players. Both games start off with you answering some basic questions about how you

At first glance I thought Grayfax Software’s game Orangeblood would be a typical JRPG filled with adorable chibi characters and overused anime tropes. To my surprise I learned the lesson of not to judge a book by its cover. Orangeblood combines the art of modern Japanese culture with the inspiration of 90s street hip hop. I found the game to be a wild ride for its “colorful” dialogue and flashback music. For starters, Orangeblood is a role playing game that utilizes turn bas

It’s not everyday that I play a game that pulls me in with its violence and throws me against a wall with its art. Of course, when you play a game published by 3D Realms then this is exactly what you should expect. Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is a first person shooter that uses the same dark platform that games like Doom, Quake, and Duke Nukem used to deliver an experience that can best be described as pure carnage. With it’s fast-paced gameplay, demonic artwork, and creative arsenal

As a parent, it isn't always easy to find a game that is fun, age appropriate, and co-op where the whole family can play. Sure there is Mario Party, but even so, my kids' competitive spirit gets in the way (even if we are playing co-op). Thank goodness for Riverbond, as the action adventure game provides all those aspects, and allows you to play up to four players co-op. The game is fun for both kids and adults. It's an action adventure game, with RPG elements that will

The sequel to the hit game Cat Quest (read our review here ), Cat Quest II follows the story of two legendary kings (one is a cat, the other is a dog) brought back to reclaim their kingdom from the warring fiefdoms of the Lupus Empire and Felingard.
