Dinocide Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

  Dinocide is one of those games banking on your nostalgia for the past. When you’re a gaming caveman like myself, the simple act of creating 8-bit ‘Nintendo Hard’ challenges is enough to make me squee. The designers at AtomicTorch Studio have tried to capture the essence of Adventure Island, but in almost every way fallen short. One simply has to look at the gameplay from the two, and ...[Read More]

Kôna: Day One Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD

  It takes a special kind of game to pull off immersion properly. And I’m not talking about the kind of immersion we’re served often enough in atmospheric games. No, I’m thinking of VR-level stuff that makes you gasp in awe at just how amazingly well-realised the game world is. Some such titles I can name off the top of my head are The Long Dark and The Forest. Mind you, this isn’t ab...[Read More]

Subterrain Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

If my experience with video games is anything to go by, I’m a big fan of the idea of a good survival game. I liked DayZ when I was reading about it and watching gameplay videos, but as soon as I kickstarted it myself, I hated how it played. ARK is good, but way too much of a grind when playing solo. Minecraft I’ve had enough of and The Forest is simply too stressful for me to play on a daily b...[Read More]

Between Me and The Night Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

   Between Me and The Night is the reason I dislike Early Access.  When I previewed the game back in November, I fell in love with the game’s artistic merits but was displeased with the state of the build.  Of course, the question is how can I be critical of something that isn’t complete?  I can’t see the whole picture- don’t know the full intent- I would have to be respectful of ...[Read More]

Death By Game Show Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

   When I first heard about Death By Game Show, it was touted as a game inspired by the great film Idiocracy.  I would call it a guilty pleasure film, but it deserves more than that.  Then I read up on the game, discovering that the developers were also declaring this game was blending the strategy and twitch-based genres in what they coined as ‘Twitch-Strategy.’  Intrigued, I request...[Read More]
