Stronghold 2 The Emperor And The Hermit Review   When it comes to tackling DLC, most game developers take the easy route, as it was set up by Bethesda back in the day, with their ever-so- successful Horse Armour. Some, on the other hand, try to release additional content for free, CDPR being one of the most prominent devs taking this approach. Naturally, things are never black and white to the f...[Read More]

Epanalepsis Review   Imagine a story that is set in an unknown time, unknown place and in unknown circumstances. Now imagine a promise that information about the place will be revealed at the end of a long journey and the information will provide clarity about the unknown parts of a story. Finally, conceptualize the end of the journey, however, the details of the story are still unknown, shroude...[Read More]

Technobabylon Review   “Technobabylon”. I like it. It instantly makes me think of a sci-fi, robot-fuelled battleground full of advanced technology and weapons. That would have been a better name for Titanfall. Or Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. However, Technobabylon will have you doing very little fighting, and instead searching around the room for small items of interest you may have misse...[Read More]

Kerbal Space Program Review   You remove your eyes from the controls, just long enough to capture the immense heat outside of your window. You return your intense gaze to all the levers controlling your pitch, yaw and roll; your finger ready to detach the booster rockets. As you finally break through the friction of the planet’s atmosphere, your eyes adjust revealing the Mun. You’ve taken a ...[Read More]

SYM Review   There is always a state in our lives where we suffer depression, anxiety, or lack in self-esteem. Maybe from dealing with a death in the family, finding out that the you were the reason to cause the falling out of a relationship, or realizing that the society we live today is going to hell. Mostly, these can be best portrayed in an artistic form of writing or art style but in this c...[Read More]

Axiom Verge Review   Coming as a port from the PlayStation 4, Axiom Verge is a fascinating game. Clearly inspired by Metroid, Thomas Happ alone built this wonderful piece of software on his own from the bottom up. The game was originally released in March, so it’s not like we’re falling far behind Sony this time around. With that said, let us divulge on the game itself.   Who’s a nice...[Read More]

Why Am I Dead At Sea Review   As a fan of old Raymond Chandler’s movies and the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I can imagine mystery novels being the hardest thing someone can write. There are so many obstacles: you have to conceal the true culprit’s identity until the end while leaving constant clues throughout the story. The writer would have to be concerned if they were showing too much...[Read More]

Project Cars Review   One problem with delaying the game to polish it up, as Slightly Mad Studios will attest, is that the hype keeps building up into the sky. Originally slated to release in December of 2014, SMS decided that they should keep Project Cars under the blanket a while longer, thus delaying it for the first time, pointing towards March as the next release target. Obviously, that che...[Read More]

Guns, Gore & Cannoli Review   I haven’t played such a fun and engaging 2D shooter in a very long time. There were explosion and testosterone-filled moments that brought me back to the dark arcades, where I use to drop hundreds of quarters into games like Contra and Metal Slug. But this was more than nostalgia; Guns, Gore & Cannoli made me feel like a gangster mowing down zombies in ‘...[Read More]

Kitty Powers’ Matchmaker Review   We have all played at least one dating simulation game in our lives. A very bold statement to write for sure, but it’s the truth (The Sims?). Be it an anime sim game dealing with playing the role of a teacher by coming on to your students or playing as a pigeon, this sort of experience will make us feel less alone in the world. These simulations give us an o...[Read More]

Will Fight for Food: Super Actual Sellout: Game of the Hour Review   As established in my last review, I hate surprises. I think there’s no need for them at all, and that people shouldn’t be able to shock others with information or actions that were either known beforehand or pre-meditated. Recently, I’ve received a string of good games to review. Highlights including Ride, Mortal Kombat X...[Read More]
