Combolands (PC) Review

The creation of Balatro was the death knell for my productivity. Not because of Balatro itself, but because of the inevitable deluge of a gameplay loop that is just so engaging I don’t want to stop playing. Combolands, developed by the creators…

Puppergeist (PC) Review

Warning: The subject of this review contains discussions and depictions of animal cruelty and neglect. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Even someone as cynical and jaded as I am can hugely benefit from the catharsis of having a good, thorough cry every…

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls (PC) Review

Editor’s Note: The author of this review is reviewing it solely on the game’s merit with mild knowledge of source material. Marvel Tokon is stated by the developers as a love letter to both Japanese Anime and Marvel Comics, so opinions here…

Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns (PC) Review

My subject today is a remade, modernized version of a game that was reportedly popular nearly a decade before I was even born, which I’m sure means I’m more than qualified to evaluate it. What we’ve got here is Defender of the…

Big Walk (PC) Review

When most people think about open-world games, they often believe that more is better. More people, more buildings, more missions, more items, and more everything. House House has done the opposite of that and managed to make less better in their newest…

Gunstoppable (PC) Review

I have gladly welcomed the surge in roguelite FPS games flooding the Steam marketplace lately. Whether it’s Deadzone Rogue, Abyssus, or Voidbreaker, leveraging my twitch reflexes and longstanding prowess in battle arenas with a sense of regular progression and diversity in runs is…

Abyssus (PC) Review

To intentionally misquote Friedrich Nietzsche: “If you gaze for long into Abyssus, then Abyssus gazes also into you.” My subject today is Abyssus, developed by DoubleMoose Games and published by The Arcade Crew. Abyssus presents itself as “a fast-paced 1-to-4 player FPS…
