Jordan Biordi's Reviews
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.
Amerzone - The Explorer’s Legacy takes the excellent fundamentals established by its predecessor and enhances them tenfold with modern gaming sensibilities and unbelievable visual polish.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 2 not only fails to conclude its story in a meaningful way, it highlights all the ways the entire story's structure doesn't really work.
The Hundred Line - Last Defence Academy is a pretty solid turn-based strategy game buried under an avalanche of terrible anime tropes and mediocre storytelling.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate takes the solid foundation of a Beat ‘Em Up and applies 2D Fighter controls to it for a fast, arcade-style action that’s impossible to put down.
Rusty Rabbit has some interesting ideas, but they’re buried under tedious and somewhat undercooked gameplay.
While it could’ve been a bit more fleshed out, Star Overdrive is a genuinely fun version of: “What if Breath of the Wild was Tony Hawk?”
