Last week, I shared my rather…interesting experience with FNAF: Into the Pit, in which I explained how I may or may not have accidentally downloaded a version of the game not intended to be seen by the public… Long story short, I was unable to complete the game due to a glitch in night 4…

Hob: An Open-World Metroidvania About a World Infected by Purple Goo
Hob (or in my case, the Definitive Edition of Hob) is a 3D adventure-platformer of sorts where you explore an alien planet infected with a strange purple goo. The story is told wordlessly through the environment, and the game is completely devoid of music, the ambience being comprised largely of exotic animal noises. The early…
Crow Country Doesn’t Quite Make it Back to Old School Horror
After playing through Crow Country’s brief demo a couple of months ago, I was eagerly looking forward to playing the full version. Classically-styled survival-horror is some thing of a rarity these days, so I’ll pursue it anywhere I can find it. So far, Resident Evil 7, Tormented Souls and Signalis have all provided great experiences…
Arietta of Spirits is a Pleasant, Streamlined Mini-Adventure
Arietta of Spirits opens with Arietta and her parents visiting the island where her grandmother once lived before her recent passing. It’s not long before she discovers that she can speak to spirits, including her Spirit Guide Arco and her grandmother’s ghost.

Shortly after you are hired as the fisherman for a sleepy little town by the name of Greater Marrow, you soon catch on that something’s not right. People warn you not to go out after dark.

The Gravity Trickster: Demo Review
The Gravity Trickster is a puzzle-platformer where you play as a robot and navigate floating stages to collect keys and reach the exit. The full game is 150 levels, while the demo spans 10 of those. Various hazards include slippery ice, dark levels with low visibility, and electrical panels that appear when you approach. You…
Tetragon: Demo Review
Tetragon is a 2D puzzle game that follows the story of a father looking for his missing son. The demo covers a good handful of these puzzles, all of which take place within a square-shaped space. While your character cannot jump, he can climb and utilize two tools for changing his environment. First off, you…
Angst and Admiration Abound in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
It seems like only yesterday that I began tackling the weird and wild world of law under the guise of fresh-faced defense attorney Apollo Justice. In fact, it’s been a few months since I began that journey thanks to the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy for the Switch, and it just recently concluded. When I…
Oddworld: Soulstorm: Demo Review
I first heard of Oddworld when I saw an advertisement for Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee on the back of a poster for Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge. (Betcha didn’t know there was a Banjo-Kazooie game for the GBA!) The series remained in the back of my mind for the ensuing 20 years until I found the demo for…
Big Times in Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Over my winter break, I was looking to clear out my backlog a little, and I stumbled across Sackboy: A Big Adventure. It had become free at some point through PS Plus, and as I had heard decent things about it when it was new, I snatched it up…only to have it sit, sit, and…
