88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition Review
Pretty (Mediocre) H8 Machine 88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition shares more than a bit in common with BroForce, indie studio Free Lives’ cult classic from 2015. After all, both games are rendered in purposely-retro style, allowing you to take control of a stable of ridiculous characters based on…
Raiden V: Director’s Cut Review
Gonna take you right into the danger zone… When it comes to vertically-scrolling soot ’em ups, few franchises have endured for quite as long as Raiden has. Since its 1990 debut, the franchise has spawned five sequels and a number of critically acclaimed spin-offs over the years, including the…

A Clear Miss I feel like Touhou Project spinoffs haven’t been doing so hot lately.

Chaos;Child Review

A Hat in Time Review
She who wears many hats This is a really interesting time for games. It was a few years ago that it seemed like every game developer was hopping on this hot new Kickstarter thing, from the DoubleFine project that would eventually become Broken Age to the less favorably-fated Mighty No. 9. On came A…

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk Review
Unlike Griffith, this game did nothing wrong Despite the massive critical acclaim and generous fan support, the now over 27 year-old Berserk manga has only had two video game…
Unplugged: Unknown Armies – Third Edition (Play)
