Date Everything becomes more than just a fun exercise in “What If?” and more an exploration of what makes us all human. It’s not what we’re made of on the outside, or what we look like. The seemingly innocuous discussions you start to have with these usually unacknowledged and taken for granted inanimate objects start to hold more weight as you realize you forget sometimes they’re just “things.” Using these objects as vessels to tell more stories than these 100 characters ever had the ability to on their own could’ve been used to be blatantly silly and sexual, with the innuendos and puns only there to make you laugh. All of the fantastic voice acting and writing comes together to bring a, yes, very silly (and sometimes maturely themed, if you opt-in to allow the content) game to life. But more importantly, Date Everything really shines when the spotlight is on the interactions between you, the characters, and the world they inhabit.
Any time I can join a friend for a raucous adventure through beautifully savage worlds that encourage me to corral and befriend as many creatures as possible while flinging myself across the lands with ease, count me in.
Becoming one with nature. Enjoying moments of zen in beautiful surroundings. Running through vast environments, enjoying the thrill of exploration and discovery. Developer Infuse Studio has refined these experiences in the sequel to the acclaimed Spirit of the North. The sheer scale and opportunity of the new land you find yourself as a fox in is lovingly crafted at every peak, step, and turn. If you’re able to flow with the up and down nature of the relaxed vibe of the exploration parts of the game, and then the much more challenging “boss” sections at the end of each area, Spirit of the North 2 will be a special game that is buoyed by its beauty, and raised by its unique charm.
The basic gist of the game is that your loot has been stolen by the evil Drill Knight and you must break a rule you learned in Minecraft and dig straight down into his lair and recover what is rightfully yours once again. A very simple premise yet it’s this simple premise that kept me hooked for hours on end, trying to get that perfect run without having to restart at the very top. But it’s not without flaws and there are two very big flaws that hold it back from being something truly amazing.
I highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy nature and puzzle games. It has a good unique spin with tons of originality. Definitely a fresh feel for a puzzle game.
Firstly, let me just say that Frog Legs is silly, short, and fun. It doesn’t take itself seriously, is meant to be completed in one play session, and is less than $3. As such, this review won’t be too long-winded and instead will focus on my overall experience with the little serving of goodness that is Frog Legs. Frog Legs focuses on a set of frogs that start off inside of the classic “Frogger” game, trying to convince a cautious fellow frog that making it across the busy street ain’t so scary. Unfortunately, that peer pressure leads to an event and adventure that will change them all…in more than a few ways. Featuring gameplay that hops from arcade to horror to boomer shooter, Frog Legs will be sure to surprise and elicit some laughs for its 30-40 minute runtime.
A lovingly crafted and self-proclaimed “Yoyovania” that pays homage to titles like The Legend of Zelda and Castlevania while still maintaining its own unique identity. No small feat, but Pipistrello accomplishes it.
Though it has its minor flaws, Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade pulls off its mission of providing a swift-paced, action-packed, story-driven adventure across three distinct characters that are all uniquely exciting to play as.
Outside of some shortcomings, I don’t think I will ever play any game that is quite like Clash: Artifacts Of Chaos and I mean that in the most positive way possible.
If you enjoy games like Zelda and Digimon, you’ll feel right at home here. Bytten Studio put a lot of love into their passion project here and it shows. Cassette Beasts is an amazing game and well worth the price of admission, especially if you grab it on sale.
Is there anything slicker than a frog? What about a sea frog with a rocket-powered wrench expertly grinding and sliding his way around an overflowing amount of dangerous, varied, and exciting obstacles and objectives across giant sea-faring vessels? Seafrog, developed by OhMyMe Games, is all that and more.
Pilo and the Holobook was a delightful experience with dazzling visuals, good puzzles, and stickers around every corner...literally! I loved exploring the beautiful worlds looking for stickers to fill my holobook, while at the same time investigating the mysterious story.
Engaging storytelling devices paired with inventive spins on tried-and-true gameplay define Willow Guard, a new anthro character filled Medieval RPG by developer MiTale
What happens when you mix Mirror’s Edge with the movie The Running Man and throw in killer animatronics? You get Finding Frankie: A surprisingly decent, if short, mascot horror game that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but has some little issues that prevent it from being anything more than just an OK entry into the ever-growing Mascot-Horror genre.
I have really had a lot of fun with Mother Machine, and will definitely continue to dive into the caves of the Ashen Spores while burping, farting, and eating everything in sight. I look forward to any update that comes along as well, especially for cosmetics. The multiple modes and procedural generation really make each mission feel unique and fresh with each playthrough.
Squirreled Away is a sleeper find that almost slipped by. It has plenty to praise on, too: multiplayer co-op, exploration as a squirrel, adventure, and a nice little story with quests.
Overall Monster Hunter Wilds is a game with equal positives and negatives. The environments and monsters all look absolutely beautiful, but the framerate and performance to make said areas look good can cut the impact. The big monster fights are fun and tension-filled, but it can get tiring doing the same fights over and over again and you have to get through an entire campaign just to get to the really good stuff.
There’s a lot to love about my visit to Borgo Marina even if it's far from a perfect trip. Whether it’s spending time with the wonderful cast of characters, solving the mysteries of the town or finding hidden constellations on walls, there’s plenty to do. It's a very nice, if flawed, vacation and one I wouldn’t mind taking again.
I'm kinda disappointed I missed out on this game as a kid as I feel this would've been a game I played for hours on end. Even with the less than stellar combat and, at times, iffy platforming, Croc: Legend Of The Gobbos is honestly a fun little game and it’s great to see such a legendary developer like Argonauts back in the game again!
Truth be told, I did kind of go into this game with low expectations, yet came out pleasantly surprised. While I am not the targeted age demographic for this game, this is still honestly one of the better kids games I’ve checked out in a while since the 2011 game Disneyland Adventures and I can see both fans of the show and a younger crowd enjoying this game. In fact, even if you’re not a fan of the show or never watched it, I still recommend the game. It’s one of those games you can just turn on and just relax while not having to worry about anything strenuous for the time.
