GIGASWORD Review: Heavier Than it Looks | The Gamerheads Podcast
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
Aluna Rift Review: A Modern Twist on a Classic Game | The Gamerheads Podcast
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.

Jaleco Sports - Bases Loaded Review: Batter Up | The Gamerheads Podcast
Platform reviewed: Nintendo Switch 2 Also on: Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam) Price: $7.99 One game that holds a special place in my heart is Bases Loaded. While we had NES Baseball and RBI Baseball on the NES, Bases Loaded felt like a move toward a more realistic baseball game. The player models were less cartoony, the presentation felt more TV-inspired, and the fact that players would rush the mound after getting hit by a pitch made it feel like something new. As a kid, it fe

Flick Shot Rogues Review: Ready, Aim, Flick | The Gamerheads Podcast
Even with how difficult Flick Shot Rogues is, I had a really fun time with the game. After each run, I wanted to jump right back into the foray, hoping that the next attempt would be more fruitful or that I’d learn something from my previous run. The playing field can become crowded very quickly, which adds to the challenge, and the boss battles are pretty brutal. That said, pulling off a win feels great.

Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader Switch 2 Review: Patch Work | The Gamerheads Podcast
Platform reviewed: Nintendo Switch 2 Also on: PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S Price: $49.99 One of my favorite games is Fallout 2. The amount of choice it gave me as a player always really appealed to me. Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader recaptures that same magic. The amount of meaningful decisions, the depth of its RPG systems, and the tactical combat all come together in a way that is incredibly satisfying to play. It is one of the best CRPGs I have played. Unfortu

Netherworld Covenant Review: Smart Combat System Carries the Experience | The Gamerheads Podcast
Platform reviewed: Steam (PC) Price: $19.99 Is Netherworld Covenant a roguelike soulslike or a soulslike roguelike? Either way, the game introduces some neat mechanics that I haven’t seen done in either genre. And for those concerned that roguelikes and soulslikes are typically extremely punishing, I’m happy to report that Netherworld Covenant, while challenging, doesn’t feel like it’s out to punish players. With a bit more polish, the game could have easily landed among my
