Reading Time: 4 minutes When it comes to Roguelike and Roguelite games I always judge whether they are good or not by one question: “Does it make me yearn for one more turn after I die?” The latest game that attempts to make its mark in an increasingly congested Roguelike genre is Replikator. So is this a memorable entry…

Reading Time: 5 minutes So I’ve mentioned in the Single Player Experience Podcast, that I haven’t connected to the Soulsborne games because of the way that they tell narratives. Other than Seikro you have to find lore pieces around the world that you use to cobble together the story. I have a hard time getting into games like that….

Reading Time: 6 minutes t’s crazy because when AEW was announced I found myself craving an alternative to WWE TV. Fast forward a few years and I had that same level of excitement when AEW announced its first video game, AEW Fight Forever. That excitement was amplified when I found out that Yukes and Hideyuki Iwashita was leading the…

Reading Time: 5 minutes Doomblade is a game that was put on my radar when I went to PaxEast. I remember when I first saw the game I thought “This looks like a more metal Ori and the Will of the Wisp.” The artstyle left so much of an impression that I knew I had to play it when…

That game hooked me with its characters, the planets we could explore, and the personally grounded narrative. While Fallen Order is a souls-like game which is a genre I normally do…

Reading Time: 4 minutes So I’ve been a gamer for a very long time now and played quite a number of games. I’d like to think that I know what types of games I like and what genres I don’t enjoy. Well historically I’ve never been into the puzzle genre. Sure I deal with them in series like The…

Reading Time: 4 minutes So I’ve always been into Boxing and the UFC. With Boxing, I’ve been a fan since the glory days of the 90s and with UFC I’ve been in love with the sport since the days of Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell, and Rampage Jackson. One of my favorite aspects of watching these fights is being a…

Reading Time: 5 minutes Leading up to its release I was looking forward to the game for many reasons. As a long-time anime fan, I’ve enjoyed many isekai anime. For you, non-anime fans an isekai is basically when a character leaves their world and goes to another. Pretty much like Alice and Wonderland. Combining the isekai factor with the…

Reading Time: 4 minutes I’m a massive fan of roguelite games and as a result I’ve played a ton of them. Over the course of playing and evaluating these type of games I’ve come to a realization. I find that the key to a good roguelite game is summed up by a single question: “How enjoyable is the experience going…
