Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee HD (Switch) Review

Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee never crossed my radar as a kid. Perhaps I was too young for its release in 2001 and people had seemingly forgotten about it by the time I bought an Xbox six years later. Still, when the chance to review Munch’s Oddysee HD came around, I took a look at it and thought “Hmm… That looks weird. Let’s do it!”

Video Games, Depression, and Quarantine

Yup. As the title implies, I’ve got depression. The meds help (a lot) but there are still times when apathy paralyzes me and I simply want to lie down and stare at a wall. On the flip side of that, there are times when I need to pace as anxiety and frustration build for no particularly good reason and I cannot find an appropriate outlet.

Dungeon of the Endless (Switch) Review

Dungeon of the Endless originally released back in 2014, so Amplitude Studios has had plenty of time to work out the kinks in the system. Unfortunately, though, that does not seem to have translated to the title’s port to the Nintendo Switch. While Dungeon of the Endless is still a wonderfully balanced, addicting, challenging, and in many ways rewarding game, it has two bugs on the Switch that mak...[Read More]

Arc of Alchemist (PlayStation 4) Review

You know something is wrong with a game when the last thing you write in your notes is “the soundtrack is the best part of this undeveloped, poorly plotted game.” Arc of Alchemist is a JRPG that lacks about as much entertainment and artistic value as it does alchemy. Mind you, alchemy never actually comes up in the game. While Arc is functionally playable, the unrefined controls, the hackneyed cha...[Read More]

Kawaii Deathu Desu (Switch) Review

Kawaii Deathu Desu reflects the Japanese idol culture that it attempts to parody; the game is bland, unimaginative, only slightly self-aware, and yet pretty and strangely addictive. However, these are largely things to mock, not to emulate. Although the attempt at satire is apparent and some of the visuals are lovely, Kawaii Deathu Desu is dragged down by its uninspired controls and a system that ...[Read More]
