Casey Scheld's Reviews
Though it cribs notes from the mobile classic Snake, Peku the Space Dragon proves to be a frustrating affair. A clear lack of effort went into its design, completely ruining what many consider to be a simple formula.
Shadow Fencer Theatre is a quirky title, in more ways than one. Its aesthetics are truly charming, but the gameplay proves to be a bit too awkward for its own good.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled's sheer amount of content and modes make it the best kart racer value on the market today. Packing both skill and charm, this is one title worth its weight in Wumpa Fruits.
Samurai Shodown's signature deliberate pace is perfectly captured in this entry, though the small roster and lack of options somewhat hinder its replayability.
Indecision. is one of those titles that is unique for the sake of being unique. Players may not have seen what it has to offer before in other titles, but its cryptic gameplay ultimately takes away from the title when all is said and done.
Ravva and the Cyclops Curse is a throwback that successfully captures both the aesthetics and the difficulty of titles from the era. Those weaned on the more challenging titles of old will appreciate what this platformer brings to the table.
Journey's journey to the PC is a successful one, barring some minor technical issues. Between its incredible atmosphere and unique mechanics, this is one title worth exploring.
Rogue Reaper's bland aesthetics and short length squander any of its potential. Though this is a free title, it could have used more time in development.
Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! HD proves that charm does not age, but some of the gameplay mechanics in this point-and-click adventure are a little long in the tooth. Those that can overcome this facet will have a great time on this swashbuckling adventure.
Real Life Battle Royal is an obnoxious affair full of in-jokes to amuse the developers and make a quick buck.
Featuring an original mechanic and a fair amount of polish, Risk System leads the shoot-em-up pack. Those willing to cut their teeth will enjoy a title carefully crafted by experts of the genre.
Give It Up! Plus is brutal, unforgiving, and addictive. Levels start to blend together after a while, but those wrapped up in the beat will be too enthused to care.
Alice in Stardom is a lighthearted visual novel that will appear for those looking for something a bit more sugary. Don't expect a big budget or a tome of text – rather, come in with an open mind and you'll come out satisfied.
Althrough Fantom Feast follows in the same footsteps as the Katamari Damacy series, the roughshod execution makes it a hard pass for even the most diehard of fans.
Gyro Boss DX was designed to be as frustrating as possible to all those who attempt it. What could have been a decent arcade-like title ends up being a less-than-stellar time waster that's far too cheap.
VA-11 Hall-A's fresh take on the visual novel genre makes the jump to consoles with relative ease. Those that don't mind the occasional bit of salty language will find a cyberpunk adventure that will captivate you to the very end.
Those that can turn a blind eye to Mortal Kombat 11's grind will have a good time turning their opponent into meaty bits. The core fighting engine powering this title isn't drastically different compared to previous entries, but there's no point in fixing what isn't broken.
Your Future Self's approach to storytelling is unique, but it manages to be a bit too cryptic for its own good. Those who go with the flow will appreciate its avant garde nature, but those looking for something a bit more coherent might be left out in the cold.
Shipped's slippery controls take some getting used to, but those that can stomach its unorthodox approach to play will find a party title that is perfect for short bursts.
Comet Crasher is a simple game with a solid enough pick-up-and-play mechanic. Repetition can quickly set in, but this is one title that knows exactly what it is, for better or worse.
