Platforms: PC (via Steam) Shattered Heaven is a deckbuilding RPG with roguelike elements. That doesn't sound all that unique, but its story-based gameplay really draws players in with a dark fantasy tale complete with Lovecraftian horrors. It's currently in Steam Early access and we're going to take a look at the game as it stands now and see if this is one to grab now, wait until its full release later this year, or even just keep an eye on in general. Let's get into it. By Al  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC Sonar Beat is a rhythm game that previously saw release on PC and the PlayStation 4. It's now available on the Nintendo Switch, a console that is no stranger to great rhythm titles. Sonar Beat is a bit different though as it's a smaller indie title that features gameplay that takes place entirely within a radar interface. Unique doesn't always mean good though, so let's take a deeper look at this game and see if it's for you. By Manuel  Players: 1-4
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBox, PC Legend Bowl is a retro-inspired football game that takes sports video games back to their roots, and is something of a spiritual successor to games like Tecmo Bowl. Originally released on Steam, it's now available on all major consoles letting gamers of all types experience its unique mix of arcade-style gameplay with sim-based mechanics. Legend Bowl promises a lot of things, and even mixes two styles of gameplay that can be pretty contradictory to each other. Does this mix come together well? Does a football game without a big license have what it takes to compete with the Maddens of the world? Well, let's tackle this game and find out!  Fans in attendance at Evo, and those watching live around the world, recently got a big reveal when Street Fighter 6 dropped a shelltastic announcement and unveiled an in-game collaboration with the leanest, meanest, and greenest turtles out there – the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBox, PC (via Epic Games Store) The first episode of The Expanse: A Telltale Series was released on July 27th, 2023, co-developed by TellTale Games and Deck Nine, and published by TellTale Games. For the purposes of this review it was played on a PS5, but it's also available for PC, PS4, and Xbox Series X/S. I’ll start this review with a disclaimer that I played only the first episode so far, and I experienced it as someone who has not watched the TV show or read the series that the game is based on. This is all from the perspective of someone who is new to the source material. By Al  Players: 1

Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC (via Steam) This Way Madness Lies is a retro-inspired RPG by way of Zeboyd Games (Creators of Cthulhu Saves The World & Cosmic Star Heroine) that's just arrived on the Nintendo Switch, following an earlier release on Steam. This isn't your standard RPG (or JRPG as it were) though as it in mixes the world of Shakespeare, magical girls, eldritch horrors, theatre, and more. It's quite the eclectic game and the unique mix of topics mean that it might not be for everyone. Is it for you though? Or is it for us at A-to-J even? Well, read on to find out! Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! |
