dual-stick shooter/Enter The Gungeon/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Roguelike/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. Enter the Gungeon is a top-down procedurally generated shooter which asks the age-old question of “what if everything was more like a gun?” It’s an irreverent and lighthearted game which is one of the most kinetic of its ilk, merging danmaku mechanics with interactive environments to…

Feral Fury/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Roguelike

Review by Harvard L. Feral Fury is a violent top down shooter featuring militaristic pandas in a post-apocalyptic environment, and it’s a pretty good game. I feel like that’s all the description a game like this needs – it’s made by Skandivania Games out of Norway, a two person team…

Review by Harvard L. Language learning is difficult – especially if you’ve passed high-school age, it usually requires a dedication born through willpower, and it’s something which I’ve rarely been able to muster for more than a few days at a time. I love language learning games for this reason,…

4X Strategy/Driftland: The Magic Revival/Early Access/PC/PC Preview/Preview/Previews/Strategy

Early access preview by Ginny W. 4X games like Civilization and Europa Universalis are known for being meaty affairs, not least of all because they’re usually a tactical experience on two fronts – building up your own empire and contending with the omnipresent threat of foreign invasion.
