8Bit/Digi's Reviews
Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a broken mess of a nightmare in regards to its convoluted story and broken experience.
Valorant takes the best elements from the kings of multiplayer shooters only to be something that fails to stand out it in a crowded market. It’s not a bad game but there are so many better free to play multiplayer shooters.
P.A.M.E.L.A. has an experience to offer that is unfortunately buried under a pile of glitches and performance issues.
Slap Fight may only attract the attention of someone who actually played it back in the day while not being everyone else's preferred experience.
Despite its performance issues, Postal 4: No Regerts functions better on Day 1 than Cyberpunk 2077 did five months after launch.
Jedi Power Battles allow gamers to relive The Phantom Menace and conquer the evil Trade Federation with one lightsaber swing at a time.
Mekkablood: Quarry Assault is an old-school inspired shooter that adds a unique twist to the classic mecha story.
Horror fans assemble and clutch those flashlights tightly, as once again we find ourselves beseeched by monsters, stuck in a maze, and Alone in the Dark. A classic mainstay of the survival horror genre has reemerged, and been reimagined.
Crime Boss: Rockay City is a reminder of a bygone era when every game studio attempted to ride the coattails of Vice City. It takes everything one loves about crime films and games to present a fun experience.
Samurai Maiden is a fun but also flawed hack’n slash that embraces all the beloved anime tropes. On one hand, it’s a fun over the top game with mesmerizing visuals. On the other hand, it has flaws that should not exist in such a game.
In all the right and wrong ways, Scathe is an old-school shooter with a modern look plus a brutal experience. If you have a few friends and a free weekend, get online and start blasting like it’s the 90’s.
Thymesia is an indie studio’s love letter to the Dark Souls series and it makes no effort to hide it (in all the right ways). At the same time, it wants to introduce new gamers to the series with an experience that encapsulates what defines it but is scaled back in regards to time and grind.
Dread X Collection 5 is another promising entry in the indie horror anthology series that has its share of memorable nightmares. It has a good number of unforgettable titles while also having a few duds in the collection.
Deadly Dozen Reloaded is an old-school tactical World War II game that is polished in all the right ways. Visually and performance-wise, it’s a solid remake while having its fair share of issues.
This Land Is My Land presents a unique take on the Western genre by putting players in the role of an Indigenous American fighting to preserve their way of life. It hits all the right marks in regards to the gameplay and story but falls short in regards to quality due to a lack of polish.
BloodRayne: Terminal Cut is a reminder of how so many titles that defined an era have become lost to time. Sometimes one yearns for a simpler time when blockbuster AAA games and indie darlings were not the only options. One could only hope that this HD remaster could inspire a remake of this forgotten series.
Kandagawa Jet Girls combines a narrative driven story with elements of an extreme sports game to offer a fun experience. Fans of the anime will enjoy playing as their favorite characters in this gaming adaptation. Those looking for something different might also want to give it a try.
With an emphasis on macabre humor, The Innsmouth Case is a unique adaptation of the iconic story by H.P. Lovecraft.
This is an intimidating series to go into cold, but Shadows may be the best jumping on point since Origins in 2017. Here we travel to the end of the 16th century, during the last part of Japan’s Sengoku period, a time of attempted unification, rebellion, foreign traders, and, of course, bloodshed.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist is a Metroidvania that explores what it means to be human in a world overcome by despair.
