Conglomerate 451 Review

While a serviceable dungeon crawler, the lack of polish keeps Conglomerate 451 from being truly engaging.

RPG, Cyberpunk, Dungeon Crawler, gridbased movement, Roguelike, Roguelite, turnbased combat, Singleplayer, Nudity, Atmospheric, Perma Death, Procedural Generation, Hacking, Difficult

The Suicide of Rachel Foster Review

Though the atmosphere is beautiful and the sound design is immersively eerie, plot holes and disturbingly accepted character choices greatly hinder this walking simulator. 

Walking Simulator, Atmospheric, First Person, Mystery, Story Rich, Exploration, Female Protagonist, Horror, Singleplayer, Psychological Horror

Of Evil and Darkness Review

Though this visual novel has an interesting narrative, it is hindered by a lack of impactful choices, a lack of options, and branching errors that take you out of the story. 

Gore, Violent, Visual Novel, Interactive Fiction, Choose Your Own Adventure, Horror

Hidden Through Time Review

While this title is a fun and relaxing way to pass the time and the map editor is a nice addition, it isn’t anything you haven’t seen before. 

Casual, Handdrawn, 2D, Cute, Dinosaurs, Hidden Object, Puzzle, PointandClick, Level Editor, Time Travel, Building, Relaxing, Family Friendly, Singleplayer

Daemon X Machina Review

Daemon X Machina needs some work. Its mechanics are rough, its controls are unwieldy and confusing, and its story is difficult to follow. While it’s mildly entertaining to pilot a giant robot, there are other games that pull off the experience more effectively.

Mechs, Anime, character customization, SciFi, Robots, PvP, Postapocalyptic, Multiplayer, Singleplayer

Mental Early Access Review

If Mental can polish its unique core mechanics and sand down its rougher edges, it could become something great.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War Review

While fans of the series will feel right at home in their foxholes, scoping in on the shambling formations of the undead, the title lacks some much needed variation in gameplay. 

Violent, DLC, Shooter, Coop, Postapocalyptic, Zombies

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Review

Though this arena fighter starts off fun, repetitive missions, boring arenas, and randomized fight elements cause that entertainment to wear off quickly.

Giraffe and Annika Review

Despite the control issues and short playthrough length, the relaxing ambience, charming story, and beautiful artwork make this an adventure title well worth playing.

Anime, Cute, Female Protagonist, Rhythm, Singleplayer, 3D Platformer, Colorful

Yes, Your Grace Review

Well written and beautifully crafted, Yes, Your Grace provides a compelling visual novel experience that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Total War: Three Kingdoms: Mandate of Heaven Review

Ultimately, Mandate of Heaven is more Total War goodness. If you enjoyed the base game, the added elements provided in this DLC are enough reason to pick it up and play again.

Wargame, Tactical, Violent, Grand Strategy

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics Review

Hampered by subpar performance and graphics, coupled with a repetitive storyline, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics serves only as a starting point for a genre rife with unpolished entries.

Bloodstained: Stained with Disappointments and Broken Promises

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night originally planned for a roguelike mode that would feature procedurally generated dungeons during its Kickstarter phase back in mid-2015. The campaign broke the threshold to unlock that mode as a stretch goal. Ever since the game’s (eventual) launch, I’ve checked the Kickstarter page frequently in hopes of promised content, especially a roguelike mode.
