James Cunningham's Reviews
Gonner is a single gameplay mechanic away from being a fantastic run & gun roguelike, and if you don’t mind passing up a set of options, that problem can be ignored.
Blue Revolver is a shooter that meets its audience more than halfway.
By the end of Thumper, the speed is insane, the music wild and oppressive, and the feeling of just barely holding on to a beast that wants to send you flying so it can gnaw your bones is disturbingly strong.
The result of all its elements is a shooter that requires thought and planning, but Thoth won’t let you go light on the arcade reflexes, either.
RunGunJumpGun is simple arcade action taken to its extremes.
The Metronomicon is bright and upbeat fusion of two genres that shouldn’t fit together as well as they do.
DOGOS is close to being a fantastic free-roaming shooter and only held back by a few small issues and a giant glaring one.
While the PC port is a little janky, the actual game of Little King’s Story is as instantly likeable as it’s ever been.
Time Machine VR is the kind of game you tend to see at the start of a new technology.
Anarcute is a warm and fuzzy, utterly adorable game that plays with mob violence and social unrest.
Score Rush Extended is a fantastic remake of what had already been an excellent shooter.
Lumo is a big, puzzley, dungeon-romping love letter to the history of gaming, filled with references to a huge number of titles but still more than able to carve out its own identity.
Samorost 3 is a fantastic point & click adventure game, and a perfect sequel to the previous two.
Trackmania Turbo is a giant, gorgeous world of arcade stunt-racing action.
While the story can be a bit much at times, The Witch and the Hundred Knight's gameplay makes returning to Metallia's swamp a tempting prospect.
While it takes a bit to get all its gameplay elements into place, Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairy Tale is thoroughly charming from the very start.
While a little more realism would make American Truck Simulator more fun, paradoxical as that may sound, there's no escaping how fantastically playable it is.
Starward Rogue is easily the best arcade roguelike since Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and while it doesn't stray too far from its inspiration's influence, it makes up for this by executing its formula incredibly well.
If the story is nonsensical, the fighting and platforming are great fun.
Gravity Rush Remastered is close to perfect.
