Within a couple hours of starting the PS4 version of Downwell, I got to the final level for the first time. I put several hours in on the PC version last year and never got even close to reaching it, always foiled by the swarms of stuff in the penultimate level. Upon making it to…
On a personal level, the Hitman franchise has rarely disappointed me. Sure, 2000’s Hitman: Codename 47 was already kinda bad back then, but it helped introduced elements that are still seen in the series today. It was with its sequel, Silent Assassin, that things really started to pick up for our bald cold blooded killer, thanks…
Odin Sphere was a late era PlayStation 2 game that saw incredibly positive reviews and have since garnered a faithful following as a cult classic. Unfortunately, due to how close it came out to new and more powerful hardware, it didn’t get the same public awareness as the titles coming out at the time for PlayStation…
We’ve got another fresh video review from Alex Jackson! This time, he sets his sights on the new (old?) Ratchet and Clank, out now on the PlayStation 4.
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…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
