Yakuza 5 Review – Doki Doki Dorama
Yakuza 5 is another strong chapter of the long-running crime drama that started its run on the PlayStation 2 back in 2005 as Ryu ga Gotoku, a then Japan-only action adventure game that set its sights on a then relatively unexplored genre for videogames, the seedy underworld of the Japanese mob. Having acquired a pretty loyal…
Epistory – Typing Chronicles Review
It’s odd how so few videogames make use of typing. With so many available on computers, you’d think more would try and incorporate the act of typing instead of mapping complex control schemes onto a keyboard. And when we do get typing games, they always play off the same foundation of writing out words as…
Enter the Gungeon Review – Biting the bullet
There’s a degree of familiarity anyone who’s remotely interested in top-down shooters will feel when playing Enter the Gungeon. After all, at first glance, it’s strikingly similar to many, many games that came before it. Just as its brethren, it’s hard and merciless, teaching you its ways by throwing you back to the beginning every…
The Walking Dead: Michonne Episode 3 – What We Deserve Review – Middling Results
For better or for worse, Telltale’s first regularly scheduled miniseries The Walking Dead: Michonne has been a familiar experience to just about anyone who’s played, seen or read anything set in the world of the giant multimedia franchise that The Walking Dead is. At the end of episode two, the shit was about to hit the…
Bunker Punks blends old-school shooter action with roguelike sensibilities
Last time I saw Bunker Punks was at the Media Indie Exchange during E3 last year. Back then, the game was a first-person shooter roguelike with a bit of base management on the side. Now, it’s still a first-person shooter roguelike minus the base management that’s out now on Steam Early Access. The game hasn’t…
Dying Light: The Following Review – Hit the road
Dying Light: The Following is an expansion that doesn’t settle for merely being more Dying Light. It wants to expand the game further, try out a couple new ideas like the best expansions often do. Only, unlike the best expansions, Dying Light: The Following doesn’t quite deliver on its potential. The Following takes place after…
The Walking Dead: Michonne Episode 2: Give No Shelter Review – Ain’t no heaven up there, honey
Michonne’s foray in Telltale’s The Walking Dead games felt like it had a rocky start in episode one. Given their experience with working with established characters in their previous series, like Game of Thrones and Back to the Future, it would seem that they’d nail making such a fan favorite character like Michonne into very compelling protagonist. For better…
Darkest Dungeon Review – Sacrifices must be made
Throughout my time with Darkest Dungeon, I was almost constantly on edge. Every step was filled with trepidation. No matter how strong my team became, how confident I was in our chances, I always felt like I was one misstep away from failure. No matter how many victories I accrued, that lingering fear never ceased…
Day of the Tentacle Remastered Review – Back to the Mansion
Day of the Tentacle is perhaps the greatest adventure game of all time. It’s been well over twenty years since it made its debut on PC, and since then, the genre has seen its ups and downs, with newer and more modern titles making use of the fundamentals set by golden age Lucasarts and Sierra…
