Reading Time: 4 minutes We’ve had a lot of Metroidvanias that have dropped in 2024. Some have come and gone like a flash in a pan and others have hit and raised the bar on the genre. The latest game seeking to be a must-play in the genre is Biomorph. I was excited to do a Biomorph review because…

Reading Time: 5 minutes So if you know me either through The Single-player Experience podcast or through reading my reviews on the ProNerdReport.com then you know that I am a huge fan of rogue-like and rogue-like names. It’s one of my favorite genres of games ever.  This genre has delivered some of my favorite games of all time like…

Reading Time: 5 minutes One thing that I’ve learned about myself is that most of the time I’m playing a game to kick back and relax. Most of my gaming time goes to games like Civilization 6, NBA 2k, or Roguelike and Roguelites because I can get in, relax, and play something without too much thought. Often though I…

Reading Time: 4 minutes I remember seeing the trailer for Ultros a while back. It may or may not have been shown at an Xbox showcase. I don’t remember where I saw it, but I recall the game making an impression on me with its psychedelic and trippy artsyle. The artstyle made such an impression with me that I…

Reading Time: 5 minutes A few years or at least what feels like a few years I played Overcooked. A game centered around creating and delivering food orders as fast as possible to get the best score possible. It was an enjoyable yet simple concept, but its fun factor was amplified by the chaotic element of trying to function…

Reading Time: 4 minutes When I first saw the trailer for Touhou Luna Nights I thought the game looked incredible but I’ve seen many Metroidvania games with impressive trailers that ended up disappointing me. So I went into playing this game a bit guarded. I was expecting maybe a good time but nothing that was going to blow me…

Reading Time: 4 minutes Konosuba is one of my favorite animes of all time. So as you can imagine I had a fair amount of excitement going into doing this KONOSUBA – God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! Love For These Clothes Of Desire review. My love for this IP started years ago. In the wake of Sword Art Online…

Reading Time: 5 minutes If you’ve been to the doctor’s office or the dentist anytime in the 90s you’d find a magazine or a book where you had to find Waldo or an illustrated character in a goofy setting filled with objects and other characters. I’d look through the book and more often than not after a couple of…

Reading Time: 6 minutes I haven’t beat a Final Fantasy game since Final Fantasy 1 and 2. I’ve heard good things about the franchise over the years, but for a variety of reasons I didn’t play any of them other than Final Fantasy 15 (A game that I feel off of hard). However, the lead-up trailers and gameplay footage…

Reading Time: 5 minutes I remember coming across Phantom Rose 2 at PaxWest. Upon first glance, it seemed to be a deckbuilding indie with some Persona flair. Then I got hands-on with it and discovered that it was a layered deckbuilding Roguelike game. Roguelikes are my kryptonite. I’ll try any type of game under the genre. That said how…
