Out of all the demos I’ve played thus far, my favorites have easily been Unravel and the subject of today’s post, Tearaway Unfolded. Initially known simply as Tearaway on the PS Vita, this remake for the PS4 makes use of the controller’s motion controls and touchpad. The game has a really adorable papercraft aesthetic, and…

The Pedestrian is a Challenging Delight
Having been out of the Steam/indie game loop for a while, The Pedestrian‘s recent arrival on Xbox Game Pass was new news to me. While it may seem like I’m all-RPG all-the-time, I like to keep a stock of puzzle games in reserve for those times when I need a break from all the hefty…
Xeodrifter: Demo Review
Xeodrifter is a pixelated, Metroidvania-style space adventure which appears to be heavily inspired by games like Metroid and Super Metroid. You are thrown right into the gameplay, finding yourself on some sort of alien planet with absolutely no direction. A short bit of exploring later, and I had already defeated the first boss and obtained…
Miitopia: Demo Review
Miitopia is one of those surprising games that I never really expected to like. I originally watched a partial playthrough of the original 3DS version on Youtube as part of Peanut Butter Gamer’s old PB&Jeff series. Seeing as I never really liked the Mii characters that Nintendo had been pushing since the Wii days, I…
God of War is Good Enough to Make Me Forget About Dragon Age
Believe me when I say that I take my playthroughs of BioWare game very seriously. This means that once I get it in my head to replay any of either the Mass Effect or Dragon Age games in succession, nothing – and I mean nothing – gets in my way. Once I start a replay,…
‘n Verlore Verstand: Demo Review
The title of this bizarre indie game is actually an Afrikaans term translating to “a lost mind”. And I have to admit that this demo certainly left me feeling rather lost. And I can’t tell whether or not that’s a negative or simply to be expected, as this game has us exploring a strange and…
Mega Man 11: Demo Review
The very first, and only, Mega Man game I’ve played thus far is Mega Man X, as requested by one of our Youtube commenters. While I often intended on giving the series another try, the sheer number of titles made me a bit overwhelmed. Recently, however, I decided to try a demo for the newest…
Minecraft: Demo Review
It might seem hard to believe, but…I’ve never played Minecraft before. I know, Minecraft has got to be one of the most popular games of all time, but…nope. Never played it. Seeing as I had recently tried out the demo for a similar game called Terraria, however, I decided it was time I gave Minecraft…
Cary’s 2021 Game of the Year (and Bonus Review!)
Looking back on my 2021 in gaming, two words come to mind: few and scattered. That’s to say I played plenty but didn’t complete many games, let alone any released in 2021. The only exception to this would be Mass Effect Legendary Edition. While its DLC was new to me, however, the excellent core experience…
Portal Knights: Demo Review
My first impression upon starting the Portal Knights demo was that it felt a lot like Minecraft with RPG elements. The game is described as a sandbox RPG, and the world is split up into a bunch of randomly-generated islands, though the demo only had us exploring one island after I spent a good deal…
