Frank Ventimiglia's Reviews
The Plucky Squire is an incredibly inventive and unique amalgamation of 2D and 3D gameplay. Its charming little story is played out with a comedic tone and sarcastic humor that is a welcomed accompaniment to the incredibly fun-to-play gameplay.
Animal Well is one of those games where the less you know, the better. The implausible amount of secrets within Billy Basso’s first official release will keep many engaged for 10+ hours.
Sonic’s latest adventure brings him back to his roots while modernizing that classic 2D formula. While the gameplay doesn’t reach the highs of Sonic Mania, it doesn’t hit rock bottom in the way of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Sonic Superstars is a fun adventure, full of many surprises, which will delight fans of the blue hedgehog, and 2D platforming as a whole.
High on Knife is a fun return to the High on Life world Squanch Games created. That said, the adventure seems rather short, taking between 2 to 3 hours to complete. While the post-game does provide players with additional side missions, and an excuse to further explore the DLCs new areas, none of them feel particularly substantial.
The core gameplay hook of shifting reality via photography is incredibly well implemented. This results in an incredibly fun experience from start to finish.
Between exploring Black Iron Prison, and discovering the secrets that haunt, The Callstio Protocol is an atmospheric fright!
Atari 50 is... an anniversary celebration of the Atari brand and... is a must-own for retro enthusiasts, gaming historians, and anyone interested in learning about the video game industry’s infancy stages!
The modern upgrades and changes are welcomed, making this the definitive way to experience Pac-Man’s first 3D platforming outing.
Tango Gameworks’ made a name for themselves with their survival horror hits. Ghostwire delivers on all counts while being a distinctive departure from their previous work... It’s a scary experience that even the faint of heart can handle.
From start to finish, Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy was a pleasurable experience. Eidos-Montréal’s video game adaptation of the galaxy’s mightiest heroes is an excellent homage to the series’ legacy!
An incredibly thought-provoking tale, that explores what happens to those who pass away. The charming story, Disney quality visuals, and well-calculated gameplay mechanics all make for a vastly enjoyable experience.
While the initial concept appears simple on the surface, the end result is anything but. By uniquely combining two staples in the gaming pantheon, dietzribi impacted both the indie scene and the puzzle genre as a whole.
Fun can still be had in Stubbs The Zombie, however, its flaws are still ever apparent. It’s a mostly enjoyable experience, just feels very dated and was an incredibly low-effort remaster.
Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World is a fun action-platforming adventure, but very much feels like a game of the 90s with a splash of paint.
Antonball Deluxe is a package of retro-inspired goodness that will scratch that arcade itch.
Back when Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game was originally released, it proved that retro-inspired gameplay was still in high demand. Over 10 years later, Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game now proves that the game has held up incredibly well.
Everything from the characters to dialog is leaking with charm. While the game does suffer from gameplay issues and slowdowns, UmaikiGames endearing efforts should definitely be applauded.
Despite that imbalance, overall I enjoyed the challenging puzzles. While the Oddworld franchise may be unknown by many, and beloved by some, this remastered classic is rough but still fun.
While there were some technical issues, nothing was game-breaking. I would put Spinch up there with Super Meat Boy on well-made precision platformers.
Manifold Garden proves that a game doesn’t need a narrative to be enjoyable!
