Aerena: Masters Edition Review   Upon its original release a while back, Aerena couldnât have struck a chord with me. Thereâs only a handful of free-to-play games I like and I usually abhor the notion of kicking off another one such title. This has much to do with the fact that most F2P games require the player to grind some kind of resource a significant amount of time before being able to ...[Read More]
Pixel Heroes: Byte and Magic Review   Pixel Heroes: Byte and Magic, developed by The Bitfather, is a 2-D, side-scrolling, rogue-like, adventure game with witty dialogue and old-school, RPG elements. The game features 30 playable characters to unlock, a handful of achievements, and endless, class combinations giving the player countless amounts of replay value. All things to consider, the game is...[Read More]
Decay: The Mare Review   Iâve been swamped by adventure games of all kinds these last few days. Itâs not a bad thing either, to ditch the shooters and RPGs for a little while, and play games whose sole focus is to tell you a story. Gameplay takes a backseat in adventures to develop characters, settings, and storylines instead. In Decay: The Mare â characters are few and far between, but it...[Read More]
Sunless Sea Review   Sunless Sea is a unique, beautiful and utterly devastating experience at the same time. Set in the vast universe of Fallen London, youâll be exploring the grim Unterzee with an ever-so-randomized crew at your side. Itâs a top-down game in which you take direct control over your ship and sail around the dark ocean in search of interesting stories to uncover. The system is...[Read More]
Cities XXL Review   What gaming needs right now is a really, really good city-building sim. SimCity wonât do for obvious reasons, and itâs no wonder gamers have decided to look for their next fix elsewhere. Cities XXL promised to cater to those gamers. Before you ask â no. Those promises have not been fulfilled. Really, I could finish this review right here and now simply by stating that t...[Read More]
Pix The Cat Review   Pix The Cat is a game developed by Pastagames. A developer whose name you might have heard if youâre a mobile gamer too. To be exact â these are the guys that brought us Rayman Jungle Run. A beautifully tight high-score platformer that everybody should own. Now theyâve taken the fight to PC with the title Iâm reviewing here. Pix The Cat is a high-score-hunting arcade...[Read More]
The Supreme League of Patriots Review    Not too long ago, I wrote a preview for all the episodes of The Supreme League of Patriots. And I can honestly say my opinions have not changed much between the multiple game sessions. But I donât think itâs the gameâs fault, I think it was âbornâ into the wrong genre. With a premise as gripping as a patriotic Justice League, the genre best sui...[Read More]
Dying Light Review  I donât think Iâll ever forget the disappointment I felt upon playing Dead Island for the first time. I mean, everything was fine when I started it, with the mandatory linear tutorial sequence and cinematics. No, things fell apart for me when I realised that Dead Island wasnât a sandbox game. Really, it was just a rather spacey corridor shooter with melee weaponry assumi...[Read More]
Blackguards 2 Review   Sequels. Gotta love âem, am I right? Coming as a follow-up to the last-yearâs beginning of a new IP sourced from The Dark Eye universe, Blackguards 2 is here to fix the things its predecessor did wrong and provide some sustenance to the turn-based strategy fans. As you might have noticed, thereâs a severe drought of such games and this title couldnât have arrived a...[Read More]
Remember “ye olde” shooter? You know, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and the like? No? Well, neither do I. I was far too young and preoccupied playing Tekken 3 and Rayman and the like. And besides, by the time I was gaming, the PlayStation had already come out, displaying full 3D graphics. So when it was time to start shooting some enemies in glorious first person, I was already spoilt for choice. In 3D. No...[Read More]
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Review  Few games have ever resonated with me as well as the Metal Gear Solid titles have. Granted, I played only the original MGS and its immediate successor, while only dabbling in MGS4 on my friendâs PS3, but the lore, the characters, the overall atmosphere of this legendary universe is unique, and has intrigued me ever since taking control over Snake for th...[Read More]
Flyhunter Origins Review   A word on Despicable Meâs Minions. Enough. That is all. I donât know about you, but Iâm absolutely sick to death with these stumpy yellow creatures. Yes, they were funny at first, with their broken Spanish, strange eyes and their obsession with bananas, but I feel theyâve overstayed their welcome. Evidently the majority of people donât agree, as theyâre ver...[Read More]
