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…
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,…

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…
Cartman and crew are at it again in South Park The Fractured But Whole
Love it or hate it, creators Trey Stone and Matt Parker’s South Park is over twenty years old at this point. Let that sit in for a moment. Second only to The Simpsons as the longest running animated series in the world, it has earned its way into popular culture. Earning a number of questionable…
Assassin’s Creed Origins shakes up the franchise in fantastic ways
Assassin’s Creed Origins is perhaps the farthest that an entry in the franchise has gotten from what makes Assassin’s Creed… Assassin’s Creed. And at the same time, it’s the closest as any of them have ever gotten, considering that Origins is supposed to be exactly what the title suggests: the inception point of the entire…
You’ll want to spend some time in High Hell
In a sea of AAA games that take you hours upon hours to finish and see everything they have tucked away in in just about every nook and corner, High Hell is a fast paced indie shooter that can take you literally minutes to beat. Developed by Terri Vellmann and Doseone, High Hell takes a…
