One of the games I grew up with was The Lost Vikings for the SNES, where you would control three unique characters in order to solve puzzles and reach the exit alive. Recently, I downloaded a demo of a game called Trine 2: The Complete Story that feels somewhat similar. You control three characters, Amadeus…

Wanderjahr: Demo Review
Wanderjahr is a cute and colorful JRPG with a deceptive level of difficulty. In fact, the game’s subtitle is “Try Again or Walk Away”, which seems like a clear challenge to the player. Are you going to try again and figure out where you went wrong…or give up? Well, considering I took the latter route,…
Yoku’s Island Express: Demo Review
When I read that Yoku’s Island Express was described as an “open-world pinball adventure”, I had my doubts. I don’t mind pinball in short bursts, but I couldn’t believe they could actually make an engaging “adventure” out of it. But seeing as this was a free demo, I had nothing to lose but time.
Disgaea 4 Complete: Demo Review
Though I’ve played a decent number of RPGs over the years, one subset of the genre in which I have little experience is tactical RPGs. I was first introduced to them during a short span of time spent playing the Shining Force games on this Sega Genesis Collection I have for the XBox 360, though…
Oninaki: Demo Review
Oninaki is an action-RPG created by Tokyo RPG Factory where you play as a Watcher, someone who brings peace to the dead and helps guide them to the next world. The game features real-time combat, and you fight alongside different spirits called Daemons. As someone who usually likes games with darker stories, I have to…
Tearaway Unfolded: Demo Review
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…
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…
‘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…
