Review: Majotori

Though it probably works better as a mobile or tablet experience, Majotori is a delightful little quiz game with a nice range of questions and a fun theme. The roulette elements can occasionally be ma...

Review: Thimbleweed Park

Much like Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island, Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick's newest title will be an experience remembered and celebrated for decades to come. As point and click adventure games go, Thim...

Review: Snake Pass

Although it takes a little getting used to, I really enjoyed the way the unlikely snake hero controls and the world he explores. Snake Pass is a charming platformer that bucks the usual genre tropes i...

Review: Rain World

Rain World isn't a bad game, per se. There are a lot of things I genuinely love about it, from the pixel graphics to the world building. I respect the years of effort that obviously went into creating...

Review: Switch - Or Die Trying

While I wish the gameplay was a little tighter, I had a fun time avoiding the obstacles and making my way through most of the stages. There were a few that made me want to throw my controller across t...

Review: The Crow's Eye

Much like BioShock and other similar games, the best thing about The Crow's Eye is the storytelling. Although the setup isn't especially original, it ends up going in a few crazy directions I didn't s...

Review: Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

As frustrating as the cheap hits can be, I don't hate Reverie Under the Moonlight. There are a lot of aspects of the game I genuinely enjoyed, such as the visuals, combat and exploration. But constant...

Review: Macbat 64

Macbat 64 isn't an especially deep or involving platformer, but it does a good job of evoking the spirit of a bygone era. If 1998 is a time you would like to revisit, then you'll likely have a good ti...

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour

As second tries go, Table Top Racing: World Tour is a good one. It's not an essential racing game, but it does a good job of steering the franchise in the right direction. It looks great and it's hard...

Review: 2Dark

While far from perfect, I'm glad I saw 2Dark through to the end. I like a lot of the stealth elements and puzzle solving, and I even got into its gruesome story. With its dark subject matter and viole...

Review: Sublevel Zero Redux

Much like Descent, Sublevel Zero Redux is a game I admire more than love. It has a lot of cool elements that are handled well, but I'm not sure how often I'll want to return. The game's repetition and...

Review: Blue-Collar Astronaut

As a goofy premise, this one has a winning idea. Unfortunately, the funny conceit is marred by frustrating gameplay and repetitive levels. It's often a chore to play and most of my failed attempts fel...

Review: Bad Dream: Coma

This is the kind of horror game that doesn't rely on cheap jump scares to be effective, but rather offers the type of frights that genuinely get under your skin and make you squirm. Bad Dream: Coma na...

Review: Super Blackjack Battle 2 Turbo Edition - The Card Warriors

If all you're looking for is a competitive blackjack game that kind of looks like an old school Capcom fighter, then you could do a lot worse than Stage Clear Studios' newest game. But if you saw the ...

Review: 911 Operator

For as much fun as I had with 911 Operator, I will freely admit that this is not for everybody. Chances are you already know if you're into based on what you see here. It never turns into an action ga...
