The Duck’s Top 5 Events of the Decade: From Sketchy Practices to Movies and Beyond
For the Duck’s own list of the top 5 most important gaming events of the last decade, I’ve got a mix of good and bad. On one hand, certain companies have gotten greedier than ever. In the middle, we have well-intentioned developers who attempted to deliver a good product, failed, then tried their best to…
The Duck’s Favorite Event: When the World Played Breath of the Wild Together
Although we have a decade worth of posts to look back on, I have always had fond memories of the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the posts that came with it. While I am unable to choose one single post, I suppose I can still justify my opinion that…
Lila’s Sky Ark: Demo Review
Lila’s Sky Ark is an open-world game (with exploration similar to old-school Zelda games) with simple, but vibrant pixel graphics where you’re tasked with saving Lila’s “psychedelic” world from the Conductor’s minions. During my roughly 40 minutes with the demo, I met some quirky characters, like Lila’s robot dad, Doctor Father Sir, a pessimistic monkey,…
The Duck’s 2023 GOTY: Pikmin 4
Back in 2023, the Duck only played two games that were actually released in that year. Fortunately, they were both very good games, meaning I’m not going to have to compromise when it comes to my game of the year. My two options between which I needed to deliberate was The Legend of Zelda: Tears…
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series: Demo Review
Of the dwindling number of interesting retro games that I have still yet to play, the Klonoa games are one such series that sit relatively high on my to-do list. While I don’t know much about these games, these cute 2D platformers just look like something I’d have a lot of fun with, and so…
Shutter Nyan: Demo Review
Shutter Nyan is a puzzle-platformer about a cat with a camera who wants to cheer up its owner. The game has a simple, mostly black and white artstyle with splashes of color, namely when it comes to the objects that you can photograph. Certain objects can be photographed and then duplicated anywhere you want in…
Pompom: The Great Space Rescue: Demo Review
Pompom: The Great Space Rescue follows the story of a hamster named Pompom who must rescue his human friend Hoshi after he was kidnapped by pirate cats. Based on the screenshots, I expected the game to be akin to Super Mario World if Mario was replaced by a hamster. But when I started the demo,…
Lunistice: Demo Review
Lunistice is yet another one of those countless modern platformers that were made with our nostalgia in mind. But instead of mimicking the graphical style of old SNES titles, this game is inspired by the 32-bit graphics of PS1 and Sega Saturn. Lunistice stars the adorable tanuki, Hana, who can run and double jump through…
Unbound: Worlds Apart: Demo Review
Unbound: Worlds Apart is a platformer with lovely, hand-drawn graphics and a unique concept. You see, you must use portals to navigate your environment and solve puzzles. The demo showcases three of these, but the game’s description boasts ten in total.
