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…
Listmas 2021: Favorite Things in Conker’s Bad Fur Day
Over on our YouTube channel, my playthrough of Rare’s now-classic 3D platformer (and then some), Conker’s Bad Fur Day, recently wrapped up, and the game’s been on my mind since. This is thanks, in part, to the fact that I recently tried out its remake, Conker: Live & Reloaded, which I had never played before….
Listmas 2021: The Duck’s Funniest Games
During last year’s Listmas, we spent a week discussing our favorite comedic gaming moments. This year, for the Duck’s free choice, I thought it would be fun to list some of the funniest games, in general, that I’ve ever played. After all, who doesn’t want to end the holiday season with some good cheer? As…
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…
Listmas 2021: Let’s Chill
If there’s one thing that makes a holiday break, or any break from the grind, truly special, it’s having time to simply relax. Add to that spending time with friends and loved ones, and well, you’ve got yourself a nice vacation! Making for the trifecta is relaxing, being with family, and playing video games, and…
Listmas 2021: The Duck’s Top Relaxing Games
Around the holiday season, we all like to relax and spend time with family. Or, if you’re a gamer like us, then you probably want to relax and spend time with some video games, and if your family insists on joining you, then…well, that’s what multiplayer games are for! Today, the Duck shall be listing…
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…
Listmas 2021: A Mascot for Your Thoughts?
In games, as in life, a picture can tell a thousand words. Sometimes, all one needs is merely the sight of a favorite character to know something great from their favorite company is on the horizon, if it isn’t already there. These character representations – these mascots – might seem frivolous, but they serve as…
