Review by Matt S. I’m struggling to think of a more niche example of a character mash-up fighting game than Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel. That’s not a criticism of the game, but the idea of bringing together a bunch of characters from the work of one developer that pushes…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. In space, no one can hear you scream. That’s the kind of lonely feeling I get from playing Amazing Discoveries in Outer Space (aforementioned ADIOS, because that’s easier to type!). But it’s a good feeling, too. To me, ADIOS was an emotional journey that I never…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Take everything you know about being a supreme ruler and and huck it out the window. The darkness has come and passed and as a God with limited powers it’s up to you to lead the meager remainder of your people to some semblance of life…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Project X Zone is not unlike a crossover fanfiction. It tries to pull in lots of different elements and place them in a singular framework. To that end, the sequel gets more things right than the original game, and the end result is a tactical experience…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Unravel is heartbreaking. But it’s not a depressing kind of emotion that lies at the core of this charming and pure little puzzle-platformer. Rather, as an introverted little reflection on life and human relationships, Unravel is heartbreaking because it represents a warmer, more sentimental side of…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I am going to come right out and say it – I was more than pleasantly surprised by my time spent with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. JRPG fans will find a lot to like about this game, and the development team has done a nice job…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I really didn’t think that Climax Studios would manage to outdo its effort with Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India. The Chronicles series has always struck me as the most experimental Assassin’s Creed titles that we have seen to date, and on top of that, India was the…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. XCOM 2 takes place 20 years after the events of Enemy Unknown. Earth is under control of the ADVENT agency, run by the aliens that invaded Earth in the previous game. After rescuing the commander, i.e. the player, it’s then up to the XCOM organisation to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Siralim is my kind of retro-themed nostalgic rush. Where others get stuck right in to all those pixel-heavy platformers that the indie space is so inundated by, I’d rather kick back and rip through something just like this. Back when I was a kid, there was…
Read MoreI really have no words with which to describe Hieroglyphika. That’s the joke, since aside from the title you won’t be finding a single written word in this game. Everything is represented using pictographs, which makes localisation a cinch for Chinese one-man developer M. Hanka. Hieroglyphika is a roguelike in…
