PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is a game with exceedingly robust level design. However, the game is not a hard-hitting tale of descent into darkness, even though that’s the general plot. Across many levels and many stages, you’re tasked with finding resources and saving scientists. Besides that, your job is to deal with whatever strange anomalies and enemies that block your path. You’re…
SOMA is a fantastic science fiction tale that just happens to be trapped within the limitations of the medium it was designed for. As a horror game, it’s by far Frictional Games’ best, with one of the best conceits and design ever to come out of Amnesia: The Dark Descent‘s developers. Unlike the first Amnesia, which oozed…
Broforce is just about the sloppiest kiss you could get of 1980s nostalgia today. Surely, the over the top presentation wears thin rather quickly, but in the window of time it’s in effect, you’re bound to have a good time in this game with friends or randoms, via drop-in drop-out multiplayer, or by playing solo. As…
The Talos Principle is quite simply one of the story driven puzzle games you can play. It spins a cool yarn in the midst of some of the most challenging puzzles this side of Portal. Yeah, comparing it to Portal is easy enough, given how much of the game isn’t its gameplay, but actually how much…
Apologies for the dark and ominous title there, folks. Harvest Moon games are anything but from the outset. In fact, they’re probably the happiest looking games you might jump into.

Reviewing a game like The Witcher 3 is more than just sitting down, playing a game and then writing about its ifs, whats, buts, and whys. Coming in as a fan of both the original game in a limited capacity and having considered Assassin of Kings, the previous entry in the series, one of my…
It’s a known fact that ninjas make for incredibly cool videogame heroes. In comes Ronin, the newest game to make you feel like a complete badass stepping into the boots of a cunning and silent helmet wearing killing machine that’s out for bloody revenge. Ronin could be called a turn-based stealth game, but that brings the wrong…
The LEGO games have been enthralling gamers for years, with their addictive mix of collectability and puzzle based platforming, capturing some of the most successful franchises in media history, such as Lord of the Rings, Marvel Super Heroes, and Star Wars.

Adventure games might be in constant shift nowadays, but there’s nothing like a classically styled title like The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 to remind us that the genre is still very much alive and kicking. After starting its existence as a Kickstarter project, KING Art’s The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 picks up where…
Cities: Skylines is hard to fault. It’s efficient. It’s concise. It’s streamlined. It doesn’t have shoe-horned multiplayer. It doesn’t tax your computer. It supports a massive amount of land. It’s cheap. And most of all, it supports a modding community. Skylines is the SimCity that everyone wanted at a much more aggressive price point. If…
