Reading Time: 4 minutes I talked about being excited about Slay the Princess after PaxEast because of how unique it was. Another game that caught my attention at PaxEast was a game about a mouse and backpack. Now I pride myself on being good when it comes to managing my inventory when it comes to games. Putting that to…

Reading Time: 6 minutes I saw the trailer for Worldless a while back and it stood out to me simply because it looked different. At first glance, the trailer felt like it was a mixture of Hallow Knight, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Journey, all games that I deeply vibe with. So when I saw that Noname…

Reading Time: 5 minutes Dave the Diver has been on my radar for a while. I heard all the praise, and the debates about whether or not it’s a Indie game. However, I didn’t get a chance to play it when it dropped because of how many games that I was playing at the time. I made a mental…

Reading Time: 5 minutes There I was at PaxEast exploring the sea of games and minding my Black ass business. When I came upon a game that would become the talk of PaxEast among media members. This game didn’t showcase complex game mechanics nor did it display a memorable protagonist. Instead, its demo wowed through its engaging narrative and…

Reading Time: 5 minutes Before PaxWest 2023, I never thought in a million years that I would be playing a game centered around the story of A Christmas Carol. That was before I was introduced to Ebenezer and the Invisible World. A game that depicts Scrooge as a platforming people’s champion who lays the Smackdown on Ghost. It’s a…

Reading Time: 3 minutes This year is the first year I’ve started really looking at new games for old systems and what better way to start than with a Dreamcast title! For some reason, I’d known about this game for a long time but never gave it ago. That was until I saw it at a recent convention I…

Reading Time: 5 minutes As Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker sang in the movie, Rush Hour “War huh, what is it good for absolutely nothing.” I’ve played tons of war-centric games over the years, but not many have tackled it from the perspective of the bystanders and refugees. The game, Long Gone Days from the South American studio, This…

Reading Time: 4 minutes On the surface, Faefarm looks like a game that wouldn’t be up my alley. It’s cutsie Chibi-like art style and it’s emphasis on crafting, farming, fishing, and dating. I’d put it in the same “that’s not for me” box that I did with other farming simulators like Stardew Valley, Harvestella, and the oldie Farmville. Let’s…

Reading Time: 4 minutes Goodbye Volcano High was a game that I had on my radar since its announcement back at a PlayStation Conference event in 2020. It’s been a long road of development for the team at KO_Op studio since then. COVID happened and a new writer was brought in to reboot the whole game’s narrative direction which…

Reading Time: 4 minutes There’s been a bit of a debate about video games being too much like movies. Some people enjoy cinematic games while others consider it just an interactive movie. I happen to be among those that enjoy cinematic games. I thought enjoyed Detroit: Become Human and Heavy Rain. The latest game of this style is Fort…
