Children of Morta
Children of Morta was my introduction to the now popular genre of roguelikes. While you can apply roguelike elements to any genre, this is a top down dungeon crawler with great combat and a surprisingly compelling story. The game follows the Bergson family who are guardians of Mount Morta. Their job is to fight back…

Pupperazzi
Am I embarrassed that I played Puperazzi? No. I am totally not embarrassed that I played this game okay? Okay, now that you’re convinced that I am not embarrassed or feel any modicum of shame over playing this game, I can attempt to review it. Puperazzi is a game where you walk around in first…

Rematch
28-94. After ten hours playing Rematch that is my win loss ratio. 28-94. Yeah, I suck at Rematch. Am I as bad as I was when I started? No, not at all and that is what makes this game special. Sloclap knows how to design deep combat systems and their design DNA is all over…

Evil West
Double A games that feel ripped straight from the 360/PS3 era of games have almost become a subgenre at this point. I am all for this return to the simple and straightforward action games that I grew up playing as a teenager. In Evil West, you are a gunslinger that kills vampires. That’s it but…

Star Trek: Resurgence
I am a self proclaimed Trekkie as well as a fan of Telltale like narrative driven adventure games. This sounded like an ideal game for me however, it suffers from a distinct lack of polish and whenever it presents you with an actual gameplay mechanic, it is miserable. It’s disappointing that the gameplay is so…

South Of Midnight
South of Midnight is easily the most beautiful and unique game of the year. The stop motion like art style is truly amazing and I found myself stopping and just looking around at the environments and soaking in the vibes of this southern gothic world. Hazel is a likable protagonist that has a strong motivation…

Neon White
Neon White is a lightning fast first person action platformer that will make you feel like a speedrunner. While I am not an anime fan, the visual novel approach to the story is over the top, cheesy, and oftentimes cringy but over time I grew to enjoy it for all of its silliness. If this…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
As a kid TMNT was my everything. I played most of the games, read a ton of the comics, and watched all the movies. The developers clearly did the same since this is a love letter to the franchise that respects the source material. TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is a nostalgia injected return to the awesome…

Vampire Survivors
Vampire Survivors is easily the most addicting game I have played in a long time. The game is an inversion of a bullet hell shooter. Instead of dodging bullets and attacking, you are the one creating the bullet hell. If you are on a controller you need only use the left stick to move. The…

Sifu
Do you like the movie Oldboy? Would you be interested in a game that evokes the best action set pieces in that movie without the incest? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the game for you. In Sifu you are a martial artist on a revenge mission. The combat in…
