Flickering Myth's Reviews

Jan 24, 2019

The Hong Kong Massacre doesn’t offer much at all in terms of story and has a few rough edges, but as a to-the-point strategic gore-fest, it delivers the basic, addictive goods for the 4-5 hours it’ll probably last you.

7 / 10.0 - Dick Wilde 2
Feb 26, 2019

It doesn’t push the boat out – or rather, the raft – as much as it could, but Dick Wilde 2 delivers a mild improvement over its predecessor, favouring accessibility and fun over the original’s punishing challenge.

Nov 30, 2017

Serial Cleaner probably isn’t a game for those craving a chilled out few hours in bed with their Switch, but if you’re up for a decent challenge, the game’s addictive appeal, solid visuals and fun soundtrack add up to yet another fun addition to the Switch’s “Nindie” lineup.

7 / 10.0 - Pankapu
Oct 13, 2017

Pankapu, a love-letter to the action-platformers of the 80s and 90s, may not quite rise to the top of the pack, but it is nevertheless another welcome, unexpectedly content-rich genre romp that’ll have you swearing at your many, many deaths, and shamelessly fist-pumping when you finally reach the next glorious checkpoint.

7 / 10.0 - Late Shift
Apr 18, 2017

A well-executed novelty experience for the most part, and proof that outings such as this deserve to be taken seriously rather than reduced to kitschy relic status within a few years.

Though time may have drawn greater attention to PaRappa‘s opaque win conditions and sometimes wonky sense of rhythm, it’s still a ludicrously enjoyable blast from the past and a decent remaster from an aesthetic perspective.

If you can accept its unvarnished edges, Evil Dead: The Game is a fiendishly addictive asymmetric multiplayer game, crafted with a clear love for Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise.

7 / 10.0 - The Quarry
Jun 13, 2022
