Platforms: Nintendo Switch It's not often that I come across a game that defies description, but Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling does exactly that. I guess it's a visual novel with adventure game elements, but it's so much more than that. It's also somehow so much less than that too. That might be a cryptic way to start a review, but that's my honest thoughts going into this. Discussing this game is going to be hard, but I guess we'll just get into it and see what happens. Let's take a look at the game now, and hopefully we'll find something more than a ceiling.

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Promenade is a new 2D platformer that takes inspiration from 3D platformers like Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Spyro the Dragon. It's also inspired by works like Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Little Nemo, and Adventure Time. It arriving soon on all major consoles by way of Red Art Games, and we're going to take a look at it now to see if all those earlier mentioned inspirations come together to capture the magic of a classic 3D platformer within a 2D game. There's always a ton of things to collect in games like this, so let's not waste time and get right into it! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC We've all seen the memes, we've all been so hungry that we could eat an octorok, and we all lived through the endless YouTube poops. Well, maybe you didn't, but I'm sure you're at least a little bit familiar with the CD-i Zelda games. Two games that graced the failed console way back in 1993, Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon. They're as famous as they are infamous and someone has done the unthinkable and created a modern spiritual successor to these classically bad games! Seth "Dopply" Fulkerson, Seedy Eye Software, and Limited Run Games have come together to bring us all Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore! Is this game going to crash and burn spectacularly like the originals? Or will it rise above and prove that the concepts behind those two games weren't inherently bad? We're going to be taking a look at the game right now to find out. So, without further ado, let's all duckwalk our way into the Kingdom of Faramore! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Atari VCS, PC What do you get when you take one of the world's oldest video games and try to update it? You get qomp2 of course! qomp2 is the sequel to the 2021 game that is the spiritual successor to the classic 1972 game, Pong. It's developed by Graphite Lab, published by Atari, and it's coming out on all major consoles and PC very soon. While Pong was a two-player sports (?) title, qomp2 is more of a puzzle game that features a Pong ball as the main character. Since this is probably going to take a bit to explain, let's dive right into it! By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Normally I go into reviews with a description of the game, and a brief little intro of what you may expect in the review. I'm not sure I can do that here. A Time Traveller's Guide to Past Delicacies (here after simply referred to as "A Time Traveller's Guide") is an odd little game that is coming to consoles soon, following an earlier release on PC. It's rather short, but there's a lot to say about it still. I'm going to just get into it straight away without much intro, so prepare yourself to discuss one of the strangest games ever!

Platforms: PC Have you too been looking for an old-school pirate RPG to fill the void left by classics of the genre like Sid Meier's Pirates or the Uncharted Waters series? Well, I hope so because today we're going to be looking at Caribbean Legend, a newly released open world, pirate RPG that is a spiritual successor to the iconic Sea Dogs series. It's actually a bit more than just a successor, but we'll to that in due course. It's out now in both a paid full version, and a free Sandbox version. It's developed by BlackMark Studio, published by Valkyrie Initiative, and I've spent many hours both playing it, and writing this review. I guess we have a lot to go over, so let's just dive right into it!  The wait is over! Fans of the long-running Ys series have cause to rejoice today as NIS America recently revealed details regarding the release of Ys X: Nordics. All the currently available details, as well as the Announcement Trailer, can be found below!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC Meta Meet Cute!!!+ (Hereafter referred to simply as "Meta Meet Cute".) is a quirky little visual novel that is probably a bit too self-aware for its own good. Or maybe that's a good thing? Well, either way this visual novel was developed by Studio Thursday, and is finally getting an English-language release by way of Sticky Rice Games just in time for Valentine's Day! The time is right for love to be in the air, so we'll be taking a look at the game and see if it's worth disrupting tonight's dinner plans over. It's out now on PC and Nintendo Switch, but this review will focus on the Switch release. There's a lot to cover here, so let's dive right in! |
