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…
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…
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…
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…
FNAF: Security Breach: Not Quite Deserving of Superstar Status
It would be pretty difficult for any gamer to be unaware of the premise behind the hugely popular Five Nights at Freddy’s series at this point. The early games largely involved sitting in place in your office while you check your cameras and try to keep out the roaming animatronics in a pizza restaurant reminiscent…
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…
