Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Lacuna: A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure (referred to only as Lacuna after this) is a unique take on the adventure game genre that comes to us by way of DigiTales Interactive. It's available on all major consoles and PC and features a storyline that is reminiscent of detective noir story, but set in a world that immediately conjures up comparisons to Blade Runner. As you can probably see from the screenshots, it also has a pixel-based artstyle. These various elements come together in a game that is definitely unique, but we're here to talk about whether it's actually good too. Enough talk though, there are crimes to solve, and mysteries to uncover. Let's dive into it!

 We recently reviewed Headbangers Rhythm Royale (that review can be found HERE), and Glee-Cheese and Team17 have a new announcement for those battling it out in the game! Since we were hoping new content would be coming soon, we are very excited. Anyhow, the official release, and a new trailer, can be found below!

Platforms: Nintendo Switch Ever wonder what it would be like to escape a city besieged by a Kaiju invasion? Or perhaps outrun aliens that have descended upon an F1 race? Well, those are two of the scenarios that you'll find within Speed or Death, a racing game that is out now on the Nintendo Switch following an earlier release on PC and other consoles. We haven't really reviewed any racing games here at A-to-J Connections, and this one is truly unique in both its setting and theming, so I guess this is where we're going to start. Will this game's unique premise help it rise above the pack? I guess we'll just have to dive in and find out! By Al  Players: 1-4 (Local)
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC Toasterball is a wacky sports game that sees you take on the role of a toaster in a game that is reminiscent of table tennis, but with bread. It was originally launched on Kickstarter back in 2020, was funded, and is now available on the Nintendo Switch following a release on Steam. We're always up for wacky multiplayer experiences so we decided to check it out and see if this has what it takes to be your next go-to party game, or if you're better toasting your bread on the stovetop instead! Let's head on over to Breadington Square and get this game started! By JT  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Huge thanks to Limited Run Games (LRG) for yet another classic release on modern hardware. With seven classic games, albeit three games being ports of a single one, there is a lot to unpack here. Whether you plan to attack the original Jurassic Park with Grant or the Raptor, or what could be considered a sequel with The Chaos Continues, the love within the retro game community is seen with collections such as these. While it is a standard port, Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection adds some potentially time-saving features. These include the ability to rewind a small portion of your gameplay, enabling a fresh death reset, and the ability to save and continue from any point within the game. Is it enough? Well, we're going to investigate each individual game and see whether this collection is worth owning, or if you’re better off with the originals. Let’s rip open some old wounds from the 8 and 16-bit eras and dive into Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection. By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch I'm not sure why I keep subjecting myself to these games, but I am once again reviewing one of 17studio's Hentai games. I previously reviewed Hentai Project and Hentai Tales Vol. 1, and I made a promise to myself that I would not touch another one of these games after playing the latter. So tell me why I jumped at the opportunity to review its sequel, Hentai Tales Vol. 2: Hitomi and Sea Trip? (Which will be referred to as Hentai Tales 2 from here on out.) I honestly don't know what drove me to this decision, but here we are. No point thinking dwelling on possible bad choices, I guess it's time to dive into another of "those" games, and a sequel to one that I didn't think was worth anyone's time no less. This is going to be fun... By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Are you like us at A-to-J and have a lot of roguelike games recently, but long for one that changes up the standard formula? What about one that takes deckbuilding, but uses items in place of cards, and even adds in a Tetris-like level of item management? If this sounds like something you've been waiting for.... well, that's kind of weird that you'd think the same things as us... BUT, it also means that we have just the game for you! Backpack Hero recently dropped onto consoles following an Early Access release on Steam earlier this year, and we're going to be taking a look at this backpack-filling roguelike to see if it's one that you're going to want to add to your collection, or if you're better off leaving it in the dungeon.

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC Worldless is a 2D action platformer that adds in elements from other genres as well. Mixed in the platformer formula is Metroidvania-style progression and a turn-based combat system. It's part platformer, part RPG, part exploration adventure, and so much more. It's also a visually impressive game that I knew I would have to try out even though I was confused as to what kind of game it was. It's currently available on consoles and PC, and we're going to see if this unique blend of genres come together to create a game that you're going to want to add to your collection. Enough with the intro though, let's uncover this shapeless world and try to make sense of everything we find. |
