Review: Sigi: A Fart for Melusina

Even at the rock-bottom budget price, Sigi: A Fart for Melusina is a disappointing platformer. It's not only short and way too easy, but lacks any kind of variety or intrigue. The bosses are lame, the...

Review: Yakuza Kiwami 2

Although the formula is awfully familiar, there's no denying the quality of this remake. Yakuza Kiwami 2 offers a compelling crime story filled with over-the-top characters and beautifully-realized lo...

Review: Robbotto

Robbotto is a solid little platformer that evokes the spirit of 8-bit classics like Bubble Bobble and Lode Runner. It's a simplistic throwback that doesn't veer too far from the tried and true formula...

Review: We Happy Few

We Happy Few is a weird and wonderful ride filled with crazy characters, an engaging story and a fully-realized world set in the fictional 1960s. It's also a long game that suffers from trying to jugg...

Review: Flat Heroes

Flat Heroes is a good platformer that never felt especially fresh or original. I like the focus on local multiplayer and the wide variety of enemies, but found myself fighting the gameplay and wanting...
