Just recently, Studio MDHR released a brand new trailer for the long-awaited Cuphead DLC, The Delicious Last Course! Just the stop-motion trailer alone is absolutely amazing, but I suppose our main focus should be on the set of brand new boss battles against a mountain-dwelling giant, an ice wizard, Sheriff Winchester, a cowboy who just…

Listmas 2021: The Duck’s Gaming-Themed Meal
Well, this is most assuredly the tastiest week Virtual Bastion has had in a long time. It’s now the Duck’s turn to write about just a handful of the many video game foods I’d like to try. I’ve narrowed it down to several sections, Sides, Meals, and Desserts, with three entries each. Because without some…
Deltarune Chapter 2 is Even Better
After roughly a 3-year wait, the second chapter of Deltarune has finally been released (and for free, no less!). Considering the long time period between both chapters, I have to admit that I don’t remember Chapter 1 super well, but I can’t shake the feeling that Chapter 2 is even better. The game might not…
Psychonauts 2 is a Much More Polished Sequel
In the recent past, the Duck wrote a rather…critical review about the original Psychonauts from In the recent past, the Duck wrote a rather…critical review about the original Psychonauts from 2005. While I praised the game’s characters, story, and creativity, I was a lot harsher when it came to the game’s clunky platforming. With that…
Ranking the Bosses of Metroid Dread
Metroid Dread has to feature one of the coolest portrayals of Samus Aran that fans have ever seen. I’ve already written a review of the game, but finding myself unable to quit talking about it quite yet, I decided it would be fun to rank all of the game’s bosses that Samus so expertly vanquishes,…
I Didn’t Dread Playing Metroid Dread
While I haven’t exactly played that many Metroid games, pretty much every console release since the original Metroid Prime on the GameCube has been a big deal for me. This particular game sees Samus investigating planet ZDR, from which the Galactic Federation received evidence that the dangerous X parasite is still in existence. While I…
Song of the Deep: An Undersea Metroidvania
Song of the Deep had been on my radar for a long time, largely because it was made by Insomniac, the creators of one of my favorite gaming franchises, Ratchet & Clank. The game is an underwater Metroidvania where you control a submarine built by a girl named Merryn who makes it her goal to…
Ranking All Psychonauts 2 Levels
Not so very long ago, I ranked the wildly creative mindscapes featured in the original Psychonauts. Having finally caught up with the series, I now have the pleasure of ranking the worlds found in Psychonauts 2. Considering the franchise’s emphasis on psychology, it’s no surprise the Psychonauts games contain some of the most unique worlds…
Immortals Fenyx Rising: Demo Review
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the demo for Immortals Fenyx Rising, an open-world game made by Ubisoft where you play as the new demigod Fenyx. Having studied a decent amount of Greek mythology in school, I can really appreciate this aspect of the game and was rather pleased whenever the game made…
How Abzu Helped Me Overcome an Irrational Fear
Around Thanksgiving of 2020, I was browsing the Nintendo and PlayStation stores for some great deals. One of the best was a 90% discount on a game called Abzu, which I got for $2 (its usual price is $20). If it wasn’t for the cheap price, I might not have bought this game because part…
