The Plucky Squire (PC) Review
Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series is often credited as revolutionizing top-down action-adventure games. This is evident by the influence the franchise has had on the genre. Examples include indie darling Tunic and the upcoming Mina the Hollower. The impact Zelda’s gameplay has had on the industry is proof Nintendo struck gold in 1986. Indie newcomer All Possible Futures’ first title The Plucky...[Read More]
May 2023 PlayStation Showcase Recap
in recent years, May has become an important month for Sony. Choosing to skip the industry standard event of E3 and Summer Game Fest, Sony has decided to showcase their games before anyone else. Typically, Sony’s exclusive games will still show at Summer Game Fest, but the overall excitement from the initial announcement surpasses anything else. This year, Sony had a ton of new games to show...[Read More]
Cult of the Lamb (PC) Review
Wouldn’t it be fun to run a cult in something completely different from Animal Crossing? Add some Binding of Isaac, a little Animal Crossing, some Twitch Integration if you like, and some rogue-like mechanics, and you’ve got the Cult of the Lamb. I have put quite a bit of time into Massive Monster’s newest release Cult of the Lamb, and have enjoyed my time. It’s even enjoya...[Read More]
Bosses and more Revealed in Cult of the Lamb
While it doesn’t feel as if much time has passed since I got hands-on with Cult of the Lamb during PAX East 22, the release date is only a few more days away. Ever wondered what it would be like if Animal Crossing was a cult, mix in a bit of Binding of Isaac and the magic from Massive Monster and Devolver Digital? Well, if you’ve been hiding under a rock and have yet to hear about this...[Read More]

Fall Guys Takes the PS+ Crown, Gets 2nd Season
Arguing that Fall Guys is not a success would be idiotic. Since its reveal at E3 2019, Fall Guys has piqued gamers’ curiosity around the globe. At Pax East 2020, we had the opportunity to preview Mediatonic & Devolver‘s Fall Guys; in addition, we previewed Devlolver’s upcoming title Disc Room.

Exit the Gungeon (Switch) Review
Exit the Gungeon should seem pretty obvious after the success of Devolver Digital’s first entry, Enter the Gungeon. Enter the Gungeon came onto the scene as this mishmash of as many genres someone can pack into a single package, a roguelike-bullet-hell-shooter-looter-dungeon-crawler. After struggling through entering the dungeon, it’s time to get out and of course, it’s just as big of a pain...[Read More]
Heave Ho (PC) Review – Prepare to Swing
Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? The kind of love where you yearn to see it again. The kind of love that is better than any drug or a surprise trip to Disney World. That feeling where your heart races like it’s Christmas morning. This is how I first felt when I saw Heave Ho. This is the second time that a game has inspired such a strong emotional reaction; the first time was from an or...[Read More]
Heave Ho and My Neighbor Pedro Preview at PAX East 2019
When thinking of Devolver Digital, that outlandish publisher that has shown just how graphic E3 can get, what games come to mind? Some of the games in their impressive library include hits like Serious Sam, Hotline Miami, Shadow Warrior, Katana Zero, The Talos Principle, and Genital Jousting just to highlight a few. At PAX East 2019, Devolver Digital granted us a hands-on preview with My Friend P...[Read More]
I Hate Running Backwards PAX East Preview
Take a cast of characters culled from some of the all-time classic, old-school difficulty action games. Throw them into a vertically scrolling bullet hell. Make them progress by doing the one thing that’s totally counterintuitive in normal SHMUPS: run backwards. That’s the formula for I Hate Running Backwards, and it works shockingly well.
The Red Strings Club Review
The Red Strings Club perfectly taps into the classic, underdog tales that permeated 80s cyberpunk literature. While the imagery in this game is less gritty than stories like “Johnny Mnemonic” or “El Pepenador,” it takes the same deep philosophical approach about the future of humanity that has always been cyberpunk’s trademark—and what a glorious tale the strings weave in this game. Its heart lies...[Read More]
