Platforms: Xbox One, Windows, macOS, Linux Starbound is an interesting experience. I came into this expecting to play through a good chunk of the game and review it, but my adventure got cut short due to immense frustration and hours of hitting brick walls, both figuratively and literally. For a person who spends a lot of time playing a large variety of genres of video games, Starbound humbled me into realizing that not every experience is for everyone, no matter how high the quality. So instead, I come here to tell you my thoughts about the 3-4 hours of the game I played. Take this how you will, as it is a look into the mind of a player who does not enjoy the genre that Starbound represents. By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam) I've reviewed a lot of roguelike games here, but rarely ones that could be considered full-fledged RPGs too. Astlibra Gaiden: The Cave of Phantom Mist is a standalone DLC game that's meant to accompany last year's Astlibra Revision. It's a roguelike RPG that is heavier on the RPG mechanics. It's out now on the Nintendo Switch and PC, and we're going to take a look at it on the Switch today. There's a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive in! By Al  Players: 1-2
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam & Epic Game Store) Copycat games are nothing new, but I always find them to be interesting as they can sometimes surpass the game that influenced them. Suika Game is a puzzle game that originally released in Japan back in 2021, and got a US release last year. It was a viral hit even before its US release, and its success spawned many imitators. One of those imitators is the game we're going to be looking at today. Land of Mushrooms is a game that's currently available on all current platforms, and it definitely owes its existence to Suika Game. We're going to be taking a look at it today on the Nintendo Switch and see how it compares, and how it holds up on its own. Enough intro, let's dive in! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, XBox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC (Steam) Back in 2019 a visual novel was released titled Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York. This was the first in what would be a trilogy of games that told the tales of vampires living (or unliving as it were) in New York. It was followed by Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York the following year, before taking a break in releases for a couple years. It's now 2024, and the final game in the trilogy, Vampire: The Masquerade - Reckoning of New York, is now available. Releasing on all major platforms, we're going to be taking a look at the Steam version today. Will this wrap up the trilogy in a satisfactory way? Will it tell a tale worthy of diving into despite the long gap? Is the story worth enjoying on its own merits? Let's dive in and find out! By Manuel  Players: 1
Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 I'm a sucker for games that remind me of things from my youth, and I was intrigued when I learned that a game featuring warrior mice was set to release on the Switch and PlayStation consoles. My mind immediately went to Redwall, but I kept my expectations open in case the game delivered something totally different from what I was imagining. With that in mind, I'm not sure if Mice Vikings ever entered my thoughts, but we're here to review a game that features exactly that today! The game in question is MiceGard, we're be looking at it on the Nintendo Switch. |
