Sinking City Could be a Great Modern Cthulhu Game
The horrors penned by the iconic H.P. Lovecraft are the types of stories and images that have really stuck with many consumers, firmly establishing a wealth of cosmic horror in pop-culture. Cthulhu can be found everywhere from recreations of the idol depicted in the short story that started it all to an adorable plush. For a character that is public domain, it’s pretty weird that the cosmic being ...[Read More]
Judgment (PS4) Review
Strangely enough, I haven’t played much of the acclaimed Yakuza series, even though I’ve had a want to do so after many of the games got remade for the PS4 and have been the subject of a lot of discussion from other critics and creators I follow. Lucky for me, I was granted a chance at the series (kinda) by reviewing Judgment for PS4, a new game from the same developers that takes place in the sam...[Read More]
Long-awaited Bloodstained Ritual of the Night is Available Now
Ever since it was announced that Koji Igarashi was striking out to make games in his iconic style, no longer held back by Konami, we’ve had our hearts set on the first major project Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The wait is over; Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is available now on most platforms.
Layers of Fear 2 (Xbox One) Review
Layers of Fear 2 is frustrating. By all accounts, it is precisely the sort of game that should take root in my subconscious to haunt and delight my thoughts. Yet, even with the achievements in storytelling, sound, and visuals, the gameplay holds back an otherwise profoundly interesting horror experience.
Redeemer Enhanced Edition to Drop the Hammer on Consoles
Sitting in solitude, Vasily counts his prayer beads and reflects on the atrocities that were wrought by the very hands thumbing the delicate chain of wishes, wishes to forget and wishes to move on. For 20 years he tried to find peace at a mountain-nestled monastery, only to have his past come like a great flood. Hammer and pistol in hand, Vasily stretches his tired bones prepared for one last shot...[Read More]
Trover Saves the Universe (PSVR) Review
The humor found in the works of Justin Roiland and his team is not for everyone. That aside, Trover Saves the Universe is not only a masterpiece of his craft but also my favorite VR game to date.
Year of Gears touted by Dom Santiago Voice Actor
Arguably the second biggest franchise under the Xbox belt, Gears of War has been rather hit or miss among many players since Gears of War: Judgement, the more or less expansion of Gears of War 3, starring the mouthy Baird. After that release, we got the next numbered entry, Gears of War 4, but this time development was performed by The Coalition. Gears 4 did well enough, scoring above 80% on OpenC...[Read More]
A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS4) Review
There seems to be a new type of narrative game that is developing into its own incredible sub-genre. Storytelling is blending perfectly with third-person action games. While it was the success of Uncharted and the Last of Us that created a foundation, this narrative-driven, character-focused experience has been recently evolving with two Norse adventures Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and God of War...[Read More]
Oddworld Soulstorm gets First Gameplay Trailer
The strange adventures of Abe in Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssee was an iconic title on the original PlayStation. An oppressive atmosphere coupled with puzzle elements and a brain flexing challenge made for a great time for a lot of players. A remake entitled New ‘n’ Tasty made a ton of sense and did a great job representing the classic on modern consoles. Fans have always wondered what would become of Ab...[Read More]
A Plague Tale Innocence Unleashes a Horde of Rats
Streets drenched with torrential waves of rats and terrifying Inquisition leaders outline the bleak tale of Amicia and her little brother Hugo in A Plague Tale: Innocence. While this medieval narrative features the fearful rodents prominently, it’s the overpowering knights and relentless lords that seek to capture the orphans that are the real monsters. This unique setting and impressive vis...[Read More]
Just Shapes & Beats Hardcore Edition (PS4) Review
Every now and again, I come across a game that is truly stunning, putting me in a place of joy that I honestly didn’t expect. Sometimes this feeling comes from games that I may not even enjoy all that much or at least a game I find extreme fault in. Just Shapes & Beats was a game that I heard of often from my colleagues here at Marooners’ Rock but I didn’t realize how much I would adore this g...[Read More]
