A Case of Distrust feels like a detective novel in videogame form
After so many years of text adventures languishing in relative obscurity, it’s great to see them start getting more attention thanks to works like 80 Days, Subsurface Circular, and more. Most of the recent examples excelled because of how they used the form in new and fascinating ways to help tell their stories, something that…
Monster Hunter World is a huge, demanding but ultimately rewarding experience
The journey of following a series like Monster Hunter is a perilous one. Capcom’s long-running franchise has always been know to suffer from obtuse design decisions, having impenetrable mechanics, and being extremely unfriendly to newcomers. Its fans are considered to be among of the most dedicated, and frankly, sometimes a little too devoted. And that’s…
InnerSpace is a leisurely flight through inverted worlds
Considering how widespread open ended exploration is in games these days, it’s odd how seldom flight is represented. Walking through tranquil meadows, sliding down sand dunes, scaling towers to admire the view from the top — for as enjoyable as ground-based exploration is, it’s well-worn territory. Whereas gliding through vast open spaces, navigating tight chasms,…
The Red Strings Club plays with the definition of what an adventure game could be
The Red Strings Club did an excellent job at playing with my expectations in regards to just how an adventure game can deliver a compelling, multifaceted story set in a cyberpunk backdrop during my first time playing it. In a far-flung future, a mega corporation is about to introduce a technology aimed at forcibly introducing…
This isn’t the Black Mirror you’re looking for…
The fact that Black Mirror has become such a huge success over the last few years is nothing short of astounding.

Be born a hunter, die to be prey in The Deer God
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…
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age mixes accessibility with familiarity in the one of the series’ most engaging entries
It was a time of peace in Ivalice. A long-awaited wedding would bring out the people of Rabanastre in harmony and in celebration, but their joyous merrymaking would be short lived. Suddenly, an attack from the nearby kingdom of Dalmasca would shatter the tranquil atmosphere, turning excitement and happiness into panic and terror. So begins…
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War might read like fan faction, but it’s your story that counts
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…
Call of Duty: WWII proves that war never changes
It’s been over a decade since I’ve last played a Call of Duty game. The original release, simply titled Call of Duty, was one of my favorite shooters of that time, along with Vietcong, another less known first-person war game that focused on the conflict in Vietnam during the 1960s. Both games had a lot…
