As I peruse the demos currently available on the PlayStation Store, I am bombarded with a staggering number of similar looking RPGs. Typically a genre that consumes a whole lot of one’s time, RPGs are kind of a big commitment, and so it makes sense to check out the demo first in order to decide…

The Mooseman: Beautiful, Eerie, Yet Unsatisfying
Ever since I have begun buying digital games, I have found no shortage of interesting, artsy looking options. Beautiful they may be, but more often than not, these games prove why you shouldn’t judge something based on looks alone. The most recent example of this is The Mooseman, an extremely intriguing looking game that is…
Spelunky: Demo Review
Spelunky falls into a broad category of games that I have heard good things about, but have never actually played. Thanks to the trial version that I downloaded on the PS4, I finally had a chance to experience this game for myself. Though my initial impression was fairly neutral, I quickly grew to appreciate Spelunky…
Crystal Chronicles: Have I Been Playing All Wrong?
It feels like the GameCube era of games falls into an odd middle ground where they’re just old enough that getting your hands on them is hard, but they’re also too new to be included on Virtual Console or the Switch’s online service. So when I saw that the Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles HD remake…
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle First Impressions
In hindsight, I’m not sure if I picked the best or worst time to play Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (Switch, 2017). When I got it a few weeks ago, I knew that Mass Effect Legendary Edition was in the wings, and I was already headlong into my Mass Effect: Andromeda replay. As well, Neverwinter…
Cat Quest: Demo Review
G’day, folks, in recent times, I have taken to downloading free demos as a means to experience a greater variety of games without having to pay for something I may not end up liking. (Y’know, the very reason demos exist.) Being someone who adores animals, especially those of the feline variety, it was no wonder…
Hatoful Boyfriend: When Dating Birds Takes a Dark Turn
Hatoful Boyfriend is one of those weird games that seems like more myth than reality. Made as an April Fool’s joke, this dating sim has the player pursuing relationships with…birds, who are portrayed as photos over illustrated backgrounds. Like many before me, I bought this game out of sheer curiosity (it was on sale for…
Outer Wilds: Groundhog Day Meets Outer Space
Outer Wilds is one of those video game masterpieces that most people have probably never even heard of. To give you a little bit of background, this game is like an open-world mystery that takes place in outer space. You explore a small, but complex, solar system, and your goal is to basically play the…
Getting My Butt Kicked in Celeste
Over the years, I’ve been slowly catching up on a whole bunch of popular indie games. Undertale, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, and most recently, Celeste. Like Cuphead, I went into Celeste with a mixture of excitement and trepidation because I had heard that this game was brutally difficult. On the surface, the game follows Madeline as…
The Last Campfire: A Serene and Engaging Puzzle Game
Always on the hunt for interesting indie games, The Last Campfire is one of the newest additions to my digital library. Aside from watching a trailer at one point that I now no longer remember, I went into this game knowing almost nothing about it aside from the fact that it involved solving puzzles. While…
