The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse Review

The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse Review

To Lose One Brother May Be Regarded as a Misfortune… The announcement of a game based on Universal Studios’ The Huntsman movie franchise did not...

South Park: The Stick of Truth Retroview

South Park: The Stick of Truth Retroview

While it’s true that this game will have zero appeal to anyone who steers clear of South Park, everyone who is part of the fanbase and hasn’t yet experienced The Stick of Truth ought to do so at the earliest opportunity.

Dark Souls III Review

Dark Souls III Review

In a very short amount of time, the Souls series went from unknown underdog to cult hit to mainstream success. Does the newest game live up to its legacy and provide closure — or does it end horribly for the hero? Nevermind, that last part’s just the nature of the beast.

Beyond Oasis Retroview

Beyond Oasis Retroview

The Genesis had a number of games in which kicking lot of enemies was a possible path to victory. Only one involved summoning elemental spirits from the landscape, though. Or stab, or throw bombs – whatever you want.

Final Fantasy XIII PC Retroview

Final Fantasy XIII PC Retroview

Not many games give the opportunity to hit Snow with Lightning and Hope. That’s not the only thing to happen, but it’s definitely one of the highlights. Punching people in the face time!

Quest for Infamy Review

Quest for Infamy Review

Some may do a heroic deed for fame or glory. Others would do it because it’s the right thing to do. And then there are those people who honestly don’t give a damn, and would rather be on the first wagon out of town.

Echoes of Aetheria Review

Echoes of Aetheria Review

Dancing Dragon Games has made a name for itself as one of the better RPG Maker developers out there. How well does its latest title, Echoes of Aetheria, stand up to scrutiny?

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is not just the long-awaited sequel to the video game franchise, but the first game entry that feels like a proper sequel to the novels and short fiction to which it owes its lineage. It’s not just a great game, but a follow-up story that winds up its series better than the final book did.

Borderlands 2 PC Retroview

Borderlands 2 PC Retroview

On the world of Pandora, many mysteries abound amid colorful characters galore. Excessive thought is unnecessary though, when simply shooting things in the face gets the job done fast.
Like Rats – shoot them for sure.

Hard West Review

Hard West Review

The Hard West ain’t so much a place to spend Christmas. It’s more a place for dodging bullets, summoning demons, and leading a posse of miscreants into certain danger. You must be thinking of the Soft West, with its deputy puppies and its cactus pies. Both places have their charms, really.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong Review

Shadowrun: Hong Kong Review

Shadowrun: Hong Kong offers a steady evolution of Harebrained Schemes’ Shadowrun experience. It’s such an enjoyable game that a director’s cut wouldn’t need to do much to boost it from an excellent, tactically engaging family conspiracy to a must-have.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC Review

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC Review

It might not be apparent at first, but further into the second Trails game something becomes clear: Estelle is so Bright that one guy’s gotta wear shades. It only occurs to one person though.

Rebel Galaxy Review

Rebel Galaxy Review

Pirates, but in Space Double Damage Games, a studio founded by two former developers of Diablo and Torchlight, steps away from fantasy and leaps into...

Knights of Pen & Paper 2 Review

Knights of Pen & Paper 2 Review

The dreaded Paper Gang is on the loose, and it’s up to the Knights of Pen and Paper to shred them into thin pieces. But does Kyy Games’ sequel roll a natural twenty in this reviewer’s eyes? Roll initiative to find out.

Undertale PC Review

Undertale PC Review

Undertale is the surprise success of the season. Its greatest mystery is how a game with such prominent skeletons could have so much heart.

Guild of Dungeoneering Review

Guild of Dungeoneering Review

This review has been brought to you on the backs of poorly recalled, largely interchangeable murder-hoboes. Unfortunately, it could not be shared around in graph paper doodle format with the accompaniment of an insulting madrigal.

Artifact Adventure Review

Artifact Adventure Review

Artifact Adventure raids RPGs from the 8-bit era for inspiration, aesthetics, and artifacts. Some may say it belongs in a museum, while others would argue it belongs in a (Steam) library.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution PC Retroview

Deus Ex: Human Revolution PC Retroview

It’s not easy being a technological leader, and augmenting the human body through new metal parts causes lots of people to get angry. In this case though, bringing down the people who get angry with those new metal parts is highly encouraged. Move to Detroit – it’ll get better.

Evoland 2 Review

Evoland 2 Review

The second Evoland tackles a great number of genres and issues in its many areas. One notion is tantalizingly never resolved though: where do other party members hide when they’re with the lead but not visible on screen, in his pocket? Mammoths must not get out much if they’re so hard to move.

Evoland Retroview

Evoland Retroview

Take a guided tour through certain aspects of RPG history, complete with genuine evil to slay and a world to save. Beware of aggressive local wildlife, though. Slash and cast to your heart’s content!
