KeenGamer's Reviews
You've been invited to a new horizon: will you take it? The first console Animal Crossing game since New Leaf, New Horizons allows the player to civilize a deserted island, review its structure, and build themselves from scratch. Though the title implies otherwise, not everything here is as fresh as advertised.
With memorable characters and fast-paced combat, Ninja Theory's new game Bleeding Edge is a promising new entry in its genre. The only question is: will it hold up against the fierce competition, or fall short of the mark set by others?
Hell on Earth might be just another day in the life of the Doom Slayer but Doom Eternal isn't just another plain old, tired shooter. It's bigger, bolder and more unapologetic than its predecessor in the best possible sense, bringing a bunch of improvements while still retaining that old school feel we all know and love.
Vertigo Games and Jaywalkers Interactive bring zombie survival horror to virtual reality with Arizona Sunshine, but is it as good as The Last of Us? When you compare the games together, Arizona Sunshine on Oculus Quest trumps The Last of Us in a lot of ways.
Warlander is a roguelike action-adventure developed and published by Clock Drive Games. It has a unique game play, taking inspiration from a lot of popular games like God of War, Dark Souls and Jedi: Fallen Order. With a unique stamina based tactical swordplay, procedurally generated world and a variety of abilities and upgrades, Warlander is definitely one of the most ambitious indie games of 2020.
Indie games deserve love, too, and Half Past Fate aims to satisfy! Playing through three different scenarios of romantic intent, the player's job is to kindle the passion for six fate-bound individuals. But will it be able to sate one's desire for emotional sublimity?

It's a bird, it's a plane! Actually, it's Edgar, and his sweet chicken pal, Precious. Join him and a variety of other interesting chaps as Edgar tries to find what the bokbok is up with the townsfolk of Boulzac, and whether he can save his squash farm from being totally squashed by the end of the game.
Corruption 2029 is a game that goes all-in on the tactical stealth formula and takes the players to a dystopian near-future of the second American Civil War. Fans of the genre will definitely have a lot to sink their teeth into, despite the game feeling like a glorified reskin that barely peeks from under XCOM's shadow.
Another captivating adventure game from Daedalic Entertainment, The Suicide of Rachel Foster employs beautifully written dialogue, great level design, and solid voice acting. Throughout our review of The Suicide of Rachel Foster, the game constantly reminded us of one undeniable truth: video games are a powerful storytelling medium.
Grab your fedora and trench coat as we review Blacksad: Under the Skin, a game with as many problems as there are solutions. A boxing gym owner is dead, and his protege has disappeared; only one detective can solve the crime, John Blacksad. But, do the game’s issues outweigh the overall enjoyment factor, let’s find out.
LUNA: The Shadow Dust is a hand-drawn, story-driven puzzle game that is sure to catch attention, and even trigger some tears. LUNA is more than just a game; it is an artistic creation.

Will he make it to the end? Does he intend to do this whole thing barefoot? Find out now with Ministry of Broadcast... or face the consequences of refusing the game
Coffee Talk (the game, not the late-night skit) allows the player to open their own coffee joint, speaking to the oft-eccentric characters that make up a fantasy-inspired alternate universe. With impeccable drinks and a comfortable spot for talking it out, the rainy nights promise to have some memorable events.
All the imperfections and sorrows of the world... They fill human hearts with Darkness and seem to become an integral part of our selves. If only we could take a magic brush and cleanse it once and for all, make the world around us a better place to live. Well, Concrete Genie allows you to do just that. The game takes you on an emotional journey across abandoned town of Denska and your goal is to paint it back to life.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot finally brings what many fans have been asking for and takes the iconic franchise into new territory with a more open world and a ton of RPG mechanics. While this fan-service increase in power level definitely transforms the well-known story into a new form, it's still far from going Ultra Instinct.
After a field trip into Dark Souls land, Darksiders Genesis is a triumphant comeback of the beloved franchise to its true self. While it might not be the most important entry in the franchise story-wise, it's by far the most ambitious one in terms of gameplay. Despite some small issues, it manages to be a fun, straightforward action experience that has us quivering in anticipation for the future of the franchise.
As a first attempt at a new genre, Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists is not a complete failure. Everything functions as it should, and outside of the time limits it's not an overly complicated game. However, it ultimately fails as a celebration of Atelier's 20th anniversary. The hallmarks of the series such as exploration and synthesis have been simplified drastically, and the characters taken from previous games are underutilised by both the story and gameplay. This might not be the worst way to introduce someone to town building and simulation games, though it will likely fall short of Atelier fans' expectations.
Synth Riders isn't worse nor is it better than Beat Saber. It's its own VR rhythm beast that will appeal to a different kind of audience. If you can't resist some good retro-inspired, electro music and a Tron-esque neon aesthetic - this is definitely a game for you. You'll most certainly have plenty of fun and could even lose a pound or two in the process.
