Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a game that showed lots of promise right from the very first time I checked it out at E3 2016. Even at that point in time, where developer Warhorse Studios was only had a few concept renders to visually show it off, it was clear that Deliverance was a deeply ambitious…
… and no, there’s nothing wrong with the Earth’s gravitational pull. Nostalgia has been “in” for a long while now, and it’s no news that games, especially the indie kind, have been shamelessly dipping their toes into it. Be it old movies, books, or even games themselves, the subject of recalling the rose-colored memories of…
Pillars of Eternity was one of the first successful Kickstarter game projects I’ve ever got to play for myself. Headed by industry veterans that had a hand at some of my favorite games that I had played during my school days, such as Baldur’s Gate, the folks at Obsidian certain knew what they were doing…
Iconoclasts sure lives up to its name. As a Metroid/Castlevania Symphony of the Night-inspired game, it’s totally serviceable: you explore a large grid-based map and use new equipment to help unlock new paths that take you further into the world.

The fact that Black Mirror has become such a huge success over the last few years is nothing short of astounding. But some might be surprised to know that there’s another series of the same name that contains some of the more obscure cult adventure games on the PC. The latest entry, simply titled Black…
The Deer God, a game that originally came out in 2015 and is now making its way to the Nintendo Switch, is a lot like 2012’s Tokyo Jungle. That is, they’re both about animal survival. But unlike SIE Japan Studio’s cult favorite, though, The Deer God is much more straightforward in its approach. It’s a…
2017 has been a difficult year for everyone all over the world, and it seems like videogames picked up the pace and helped serve as an escape from all the insanity going on around us. So much so that it’s tough to point to only one game as my own personal favorite, but a few….
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor was easily one of the best games of 2014. It was a fresh take on the concept of open world, not only introducing one of the coolest character development mechanic in the Nemesis system, also combining some of the best elements of other games into one hell of a Lord of…
