I’m Still Not a Big Fan of Super Mario 64
I don’t really like Super Mario 64. There, I said it. I understand that the game was a big deal for its time, considering it was one of the first 3D platformers ever made. While that is certainly something to be admired, I never really had the best opinion of this game. In fact, I…
Hoa: A Beautiful and Relaxing Platformer
Hoa (pronounced “hwa”) is Vietnamese for “flower” and also the name of a lovely indie game and said game’s titular character, a tiny fairy-like creature the size of a bug. This relaxing game features stunning hand-painted artwork, a beautiful soundtrack, and a peaceful atmosphere where the focus is solely on platforming and minor puzzling. This…
God of War and the Completion Conundrum
It’s done. It’s over. My time with God of War (2018) is complete…at least for now, as I always say. I left a ton of its world unexplored, but I saw through this first story of Kratos and his son Atreus, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. It was utterly fantastic, and…
Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Demo Review
Recently, I reviewed the demo for Kirby Star Allies. As charming as it was, it didn’t offer enough unique content to make it stand out from countless other Kirby games. Fortunately, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a completely different story.
Kirby Star Allies: Demo Review
Although I generally enjoy the Kirby series, I don’t buy most of the games because they feel so similar. Fortunately, Kirby Star Allies gave me the opportunity to try the game out for free so I could decide whether or not it was worth my money. Based on my time with the demo, I’d probably…
Songbird Symphony: Demo Review
My newest demo review covers an adorable little game called Songbird Symphony, in which an orphan chick named Birb sets out to find where he came from. This game is a platformer with musical elements, and what it lacks in difficulty, it makes up for in charm!
Eventide: Slavic Fable: Demo Review
In the recent past, I played the demo for a casual puzzle game called Grim Legends 2. It would appear that Artifex Mundi is responsible for a lot of similar games, as I also had the opportunity to try out the demo for Eventide: Slavic Fable, another fantasy-themed puzzle game with gorgeous artwork. Though this…
It Takes Two is an Incredible Game, and I Never Want to Play it Again
Though both my husband and I are lifelong gamers, we’re only a few years into our own “co-op mode” renaissance. Before just a few years ago, the vast majority of our “together” time playing games was spent playing very separate games. With the exception of fighting games, we learned long ago that we weren’t compatible…
Embers of Mirrim: Demo Review
Embers of Mirrim is a side-scrolling platformer where you play as two creatures that were joined as one. What distinguishes this game from other platformers is the ability to split into two embers, which can be controlled separately with the analog sticks. Though this is a unique concept in theory, the execution is where this…
