Yes, it’s Wonderworld, not Wonderland, as I had initially believed. Ahem, there is an unreleased game I noticed a few months back on the Switch eShop that caught my attention, Balan Wonderworld. Though I knew very little about it, I was instantly intrigued. After all, people are saying this is Square Enix’s first platformer, plus…

[REVISITED] I Wish I Didn’t Know How to Rage-Quit You
For a moment I was thinking of typing “I didn’t rage-quit a single game in all of 2020! #humblebrag” But then I remembered more than few very unhappy Fallout 76 sessions, so…yeah. I’m not perfect. But, in an among the loving mess that is Fallout 76, I don’t think any of the anger it produced…
Seasons After Fall is Beautiful, Yet Boring
There seems to be a plethora of games out there where you play as an animal (usually a fox, but sometimes a wolf) exploring forests and other natural environments. Seriously, it should be a genre all its own. Fe, The First Tree, Spirit of the North, and Lost Ember are all examples of this, and…

[REVISITED] Top 5: Metroidvania Games that I’ve Not Played but Should
At the start of each year, I have a tradition of going through my backlog and picking one or two games from it that I’d like to knock out before that particular year is over. In doing so this year and stumbling across Axiom Verge and Hollow Knight, both of which have been patiently waiting…
The First Tree is Something Truly Special
The First Tree is an interesting sort of game that I have to approach a bit differently than I would my usual game reviews. The big difference here is…The First Tree is not really a video game. It is, but it’s not. It’s more like an interactive story than anything else. So if it’s a…

[REVISITED] 77 Hours Later, and Mass Effect: Andromeda is in the Bag
One of my gaming goals for 2021 is to replay Mass Effect: Andromeda. Can’t say it’s a lofty goal, but with the Mass Effect Legendary Edition due out later this year, rather than tread through the original trilogy for the umpteenth time, I figured I’d cast fresh eyes over Andromeda‘s post-Commander Shepard universe instead. It’s…
Top 5 Best and Top 5 Hardest Levels from Crash 4
Crash Bandicoot 4, which I reviewed here, is easily one of the best games from the franchise, with the interdimensional time-travelling allowing for a really great variety of stages that are as beautifully detailed as they are fun to navigate. To begin, I’m going to be talking about my top 5 favorite stages from the…
