I Am Setsuna  |

I Am Bored
|
|
In 2015, Square-Enix excited RPG fans everywhere by rededicating themselves to the videogame genre that made both Squaresoft and Enix into titans of the industry. Tokyo RPG Factory was to be an Indie-style development studio, free of the corporate structure of the main Square-Enix, and lead by long time company veterans who were around during the Golden Age of RPGs in the 16-bit era. Furthermore,... |

Rough Prototype
|
|
In 2017, Ubisoft, that most-French member of the Gaming Triumvirate of Evil (alongside Electronic arts and Activision-Blizzard) decided to reinvent one of its long-running and rather tired franchises. ‘Assassin’s Creed’ was always one of those series I was never interested in largely due to being too old to be hooked by edgelord assassination fantasies, and a general dislike of enforced-Ste... |

Farm with Friends for Relaxing Fun
|
|
While farm-sim type games haven't been around forever, they have enjoyed plenty of iterations over the years from Harvest Moon (or Story of Seasons to more modern gamers) to the more realistic Farming Simulator series - and, yes, a lot of mobile games as well, perhaps none more popular than FarmVille back in the day. Stardew Valley, from ConcernedApe, takes most of its inspiration from the classi... |

It’s Episodic…
|
|
“Boot Hill Heroes” (“BHH”) is the inaugural development effort by Experimental Gamer, an almost-one-man Indie studio made up of Dave Welch, someone simply known as ‘Ben,’ plus freelancers. It was initially an April 2012 Kickstarter project, which was fully funded, bringing in more than triple the original funding goal… of… $5000. So with $18K and change, Experimental Gamer set out... |

Killing You with Kindness
|
|
Indie games come and indie games go - many simply go under the radar and fade into memory but a few manage to not just stand out - they make an indelible impact on gaming. In 2015, Toby Fox, almost on his own, released Undertale, an offbeat, heartfelt RPG that took inspiration from everything from Earthbound to Touhou Project and went from a cult following to a mainstream success. From Twitch to ... |

Cyberjank 2020
|
|
CD Projekt Red Studio had some big shoes to fill after The Witcher 3 pretty much became the game of the everything. But one thing many people like to casually gloss over is how utterly broken the game was when it first came out. But history NEVER repeats itself, right? RIGHT?! Oh, wait, Cyberpunk 2077 was so broken it was removed from Playstation and Xbox stores? And they had to offer so many ref... |

Your character is a border crossing guard who evaluates the paperwork of those wishing to enter from neighboring states. You start the game with a family (wife, child, mother-in-law, uncle) all living under the same roof. The new position as a... |

| Assault Rigs |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
|
Tank-based puzzle/shoot 'em up hybrid set in a Tron-like virtual world. It would've benefited from sturdier physics (the tanks feel a little rubbery) and the sound design is rather dated, but as the levels get more complex and devious, the better it gets. Never one of the top notch PS1 titles, but a decent enough diversion. |
