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…
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…
Awesome Pea: Demo Review
Awesome Pea is a retro-styled platformer where you control a supposedly greedy pea who enjoys collecting money. The game clearly wants to be reminiscent of old-school games, with green-tinged graphics and an unforgiving nature, sending you back to the start of each level whenever you mess up. The demo consists of the first three stages…
Terraria: Demo Review
To be honest, I tend to get rather overwhelmed by games that give me too much freedom. A game that can be played almost endlessly is more akin to a nightmare to me than the exciting prospect that it really should be. Sure, I do like freedom in my games, freedom to complete a challenge…
Pillar (MichaelArts): Demo Review
While most of the demos I had played recently have been pretty good, there is one in particular that I was grateful I hadn’t paid any actual money for. This would be a demo I played for a game called Pillar. Haven’t heard of it? Well, no wonder, because if you try to look it…
Immortals Fenyx Rising: Demo Review
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the demo for Immortals Fenyx Rising, an open-world game made by Ubisoft where you play as the new demigod Fenyx. Having studied a decent amount of Greek mythology in school, I can really appreciate this aspect of the game and was rather pleased whenever the game made…
Unravel: Demo Review
A game which has crossed my path a lot lately is an intriguing little game called Unravel. In this puzzle platformer, you play as a little yarn creature called…ahem, Yarny. It looked promising, but at the same time, I was a bit reluctant. I think I was worried Yarny (based on the name, no doubt)…
Grim Legends 2: Demo Review
When perusing the demos available on the PS4, I came across a plethora of games by the developer Artifex Mundi, which all seemed to be point-and-click puzzle games with fantasy themes and colorful graphics. Intrigued to try something a bit different, but overwhelmed by my choices, I started with Grim Legends 2: Song of the…
Metamorphosis: Demo Review
I remember taking a world literature class in high school many years ago, and one of the most intriguing stories was Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, where a young man named Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning to find he has changed into a bug. There is no explanation for why this has happened, and the…
