Review by Matt S. Abyss Odyssey poses something of a challenge when it comes to critiquing it. On the one hand it is undeniably a flawed game; a victim of an indie development budget and the lack of development heritage and experience in South America. See, in places like the…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition for the PS4 is a new version of a side-scrolling Metroidvania brawler that has been more than a little popular, and comes to us from Canadian-based DrinkBox Software.

Review by Matt S. I’ve been waiting for this game to be released on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console ever since Nintendo announced that it would be bringing classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color games to it. See, of all the attempts to digitise collectible card games, it is…

Review by Chris I. If the title of this satirical little retro platform title comes off a bit confusing, know that it is a shortened version of a much longer title: FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE 2 PLAY! This is a game that intentionally pokes fun at the Free-to-Play business…

Abyss Odyssey/ACE Team/Atlus/Fighting game/platformer/Reviews/Roguelike

Review by Shaan J. I’ve always been a big fan of ACE Team’s work, but that’s mostly because of its focus on providing original, surreal experiences, rather than treading the same ground over and over, even if these titles don’t always deliver on the gameplay side of things. The Zeno…
