Jordan Biordi's Reviews
Shadow Labyrinth has a few interesting ideas, but this dark interpretation of PAC-MAN fails to deliver on the fundamentals of a Metroid-like experience.
While Patapon 1+2 Replay is a pretty straightforward rerelease of its PSP counterparts, it remains an incredibly unique and deeply engaging set of games.
I'm honestly kind of surprised I hadn't heard of Luma Island before now. As much as I love farming sims, I think part of the double-edged sword of there being
Ruffy and the Riverside is an incredibly charming game with one of the most unique gameplay mechanics I've seen in a while.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach takes its predecessor's foundation and builds a bigger, better game on top-keeping everything that worked, and improving what didn't 10-fold.
FBC: Firebreak takes the strangeness of the Control universe and applies it to a genuinely fun and challenging co-op shooter.
While I think TRON: Catalyst leaves a little to be desired, it's still an excellent action adventure and brings the TRON world to life in a way few games have.
Despite some strange balancing issues, Lies of P: Overture offers a plethora of incredible content to an already incredible game.
Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is an intense action roguelike that blends challenge and RNG to perfectly suit its narrative and aesthetic themes.
Dragon Is Dead has a great sense of style and a lot of good ideas, but its execution of mechanics makes it feel a bit confused about what it wants to be.
Pipistrello and the Cursed YoYo is not only a loving tribute to classic GBA games, but a serious elevation of the style.
Trash Goblin has the foundation for a genuine cozy game, but implements half-hearted sim elements for an experience that never feels as satisfying as it could.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is a new turn-based take on the iconic franchise from Strange Scaffold.
Lynked: Banner of the Spark balances excellent dungeon crawling with solid town-building mechanics for a really satisfying experience
Deliver At All Costs is a wildly chaotic and immensely fun experience that channels classic GTA and almost makes it a parody of itself.
Creature Keeper is an incredibly unique game that feels like a combination of Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda.
Despite its flashy looks, Empyreal is a bog-standard ARPG that somehow lacks any of the things that make these games fun and interesting.
Captain Blood looks and plays like an early 2000s Hack & Slash, for better AND worse.
Shotgun Cop Man utilizes a unique gun-based movement style to create an arcade action experience that is deeply engaging and incredibly fun.
Moroi has a genuinely unique aesthetic and a distinct sense of atmosphere, but little else going for it.
