Review: Crypt of the NecroDancer
When Crypt of the NecroDancer was in early access, it was one of the most clever and addictive games that I had ever played. … read more
Review: The Evil Within: The Consequence
While The Assignment set a dark tone for Juli and added some creep-enhancing backstory to The Evil Within, its final DLC pack, The Consequence, really drives home just how screwed up the world is. … read more
Review: Fortress Fury
Fortress Fury is a strategy game from the mind of Jordan Maron—better known, apparently, as YouTuber CaptainSparklez. … read more
Review: Guns of Icarus Online
Guns of Icarus celebrated their two-year anniversary last October, and in light of that celebration, more and more gamers are going back to this sleeper hit and building a new community worldwide. … read more
Review: Last Word
At first blush, the quaint little Flash JRPG-like Last Word appeared to be a love letter to witty banter, an homage to the type of conversations Jane Austen characters engage in, and that got me pretty excited. … read more
Review: Massive Chalice
In Massive Chalice, you take the helm as an all-seeing ruler who commands every aspect of his or her kingdom in an effort to fight back an invading force of monsters called the Cadence. … read more
Review: Mortal Kombat X
In Injustice: Gods Among Us, the long, convoluted, super-serious campaign story was a welcome change to the fighting game campaigns of old.

In Schrödinger’s Cat, you play as the titular feline, helping a subatomic vacation spot recover after a disaster. … read more
Review: Stealth INC. 2: A Game Of Clones
Playing through Stealth INC 2: A Game Of Clones, I’m instantly reminded of a similar game, Oddworld Abe’s Odyssey. Both are highly detailed sidescrollers featuring a weaponless main character trying his hardest to escape a foe who wishes to kill him, all while finding friends that look much like himself, and help him solve puzzles to aid in his escape. … read more
