Review: Forma.8

Forma.8 is a game I liked, but didn't love. There was clearly a lot of time and love put into this adventure, and I was impressed by its length and challenge. I can see this becoming a cult classic, e...

Review: Dystoria

While a little repetitive at times, Dystoria has a solid concept that benefits from great gameplay and a compelling science fiction story. It's lacking mission variety and the cheap deaths will frustr...

Review: Mall Empire

Although there is still a lot of work left to be done, Mall Empire has a strong foundation. I can see the developers taking the concept and adding more layers and depth, giving us a simulator we won't...

Review: Zangeki Warp

Although the graphics are a little plain and the difficulty spikes at the very end, I had a lot of fun fighting through the swarms of Bug-Eyed Monsters. Zangeki Warp has a cool gimmick that I want to ...

Review: All the Delicate Duplicates

In an era when many first-person adventure games are meant to be terrifying, I like that All the Delicate Duplicates is more about blowing your mind with science than jump scares. This is incredibly e...

Review: Copoka

I suppose the good news is that the story is interesting, even if the gameplay and world isn't. I like Copoka's bright and colorful graphics, and the political turmoil is genuinely gripping. But this ...

Review: Sniper Elite 4

Review: Alwa's Awakening

While it often treads on familiar ground, I can't deny the level of quality found in Alwa's Awakening. This is a lengthy adventure full of bosses to fight and secrets to unearth. I spent nine hours fi...

Review: Double Dragon IV

As a fan of the series, this long-overdue follow-up left me completely cold. At best, Double Dragon IV recycles too many elements from previous installments, giving us a product that never feels fresh...

Review: The Videokid

Much like the old school games that inspired it, The Videokid is a short and straight-forward action game where all you do is dodge obstacles and throw VHS tapes into mailboxes. It doesn't have any hi...

Review: Mainlining

This is a game that took me by complete surprise. It doesn't have car chases or shootouts, but every element of spying is just as thrilling. It's a game where all you do is manipulate operating system...
