6.3 / 10.0 - Spacewing War
Jun 8, 2022

While there are plenty of retro arcade shooters out there, many of them quite good even, I'll at least give Spacewing War credit for going in a direction that sort of sidesteps the competition by going full-on Gameboy with its look and feel...

Ah, challenging games… they’re a love them or hate them affair depending on how much you like having a compulsion to launch your controller across the room...

When it comes to collections of retro classics it’s always a bit hard to know how to score them...

First and foremost I'll give EleMetals credit for going all in on its head banging style...

5.8 / 10.0 - Mr. Prepper
Jun 3, 2022

Survival games are always a bit of a mixed bag for me, sometimes getting too hyper-focused on the mundane act of staying alive, other times simply too brutally tough to easily enjoy...

8.5 / 10.0 - Souldiers
Jun 2, 2022

Originally impressed by my time with it when I played the demo for it from Steam Next Fest, Souldiers is a Metroidvania I’ve had my eye on without a doubt...

While I love blasting off faces and racing to the finish line, there’s absolutely something to be said for slowing down and taking in the beauty of the world...

7.5 / 10.0 - Gravitar: Recharged
Jun 2, 2022

There's no question in my mind that Atari has done something wonderful going into their back catalog and rejuvenating what's becoming quite a collection of their classics...

7 / 10.0 - Fishing Paradiso

Undoubtedly chill and charming, the lack of challenge and nuance in the game's title fishing lets it down...

8.5 / 10.0 - The Big Con
Jun 1, 2022

8.4 / 10.0 - Silt
