Hob: The Definitive Edition is an interesting open sort of Metroidvania where the world has been corrupted by this mysterious purple goo. During my 20-30 minutes with the demo, I explored a lush environment with the help of a mysterious robot who was kind enough to donate its arm once I lost mine!

The hype is real…or is it?
If I’m being really, truly honest with myself, I can’t remember the last time I felt as hyped as I’m feeling now for two bigtime, upcoming releases: Starfield on the Xbox and Baldur’s Gate 3 on the PS5, both due on September 6th. Just how much space these two games are taking up in my…
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: Demo Review
Several years ago, a bizarre crossover was released, which combined the popular Super Mario Bros franchise with Ubisoft’s Rabbids. As much as Wikipedia wants to insist that the Rabbids are popular and well-loved, I’ve always heard a different story, and I myself have always found the crazy bunnies to be similar to those yellow Minions…
Papetura: Demo Review
Papetura is a unique puzzle game that looks as if it’s made entirely of paper. The demo opens to find the main character inside some sort of cocoon, where he proceeds to hide in fear when a shadowy figure appears at the entrance. While this game, at first glance, is rather intriguing, the demo does…
Top 5: Games I’d Like to See Ported to the Nintendo Switch
I joined with many a raised eyebrow over Rockstar’s recent announcement concerning Red Dead Redemption. Rumors swirled over hopes that they’d be releasing a current-gen version of the game; but, in fact, the world will be seeing only ports of the game to the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. I’m not one to grumble…
Pikmin 4 and the Art of Dandori
Growing up, the original Pikmin was an absolute must-have for me and one of the driving factors behind my strong need to get a brand new GameCube as soon as I could save up the necessary allowance. The ability to command an army of ant-sized Pikmin to do my bidding just seemed too unique to…
Imp of the Sun: Demo Review
Imp of the Sun is a Metroidvania that takes place in a world inspired by Peru. You play as a fiery imp named Nin whose goal is to defeat the Four Keepers and end the Eternal Eclipse. We begin the demo high up in the mountains with the eclipse in clear view behind us. I…
Top 5: Favorite Arrow Fuse Items in Tears of the Kingdom
When I started playing Tears of the Kingdom, I felt certain that I was not going to get along with using Link’s bow and arrow in any real capacity. Between fighting with the Switch’s motion sensors and just being bad at aiming generally, I figured I’d get along fine just mashing and smashing away with…
Security Breach’s Ruin DLC is Much Better, and Scarier, Than the Original
The long-awaited Ruin DLC for Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach came out just last week, in which we play as a whole new character, Cassie, who must rescue her friend Gregory from the ruins of the now-abandoned Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. This free DLC is a lot more linear than the main game and…
Sonic Frontiers: Demo Review
After Sega started pumping out mediocre Sonic games, I eventually gave up on the blue hedgehog altogether. Having no intention of returning to the Sonic franchise unless they produced something that really stood out, I couldn’t help but take notice of Sonic’s first 3D adventure, Sonic Frontiers. Nevertheless, after buying multiple lackluster games in the…
VIRTUAL BASTION
