Etherium Review
Mar 25, 2015
Etherium does a lot of things: galactic battles, real-time strategy, and random weather encounters that changes the flow of combat. But it does none of them particularly well. There’s a neat concept that’s foiled by its execution. It’s a shame to see a new real-time strategy game buckle under its own ambitions. While Etherium is competent and functional, it is very dull on delivery.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Review
Mar 16, 2015
In 1991, major events took place that changed the world: Operation Desert Storm began, Boris Yeltsin wins first free elections for Russia’s first popularly-elected president, and cyclones in Bangladesh kill hundreds of thousands. And someone went so far as to recreate the murders seen in the original Hotline Miami. Crazy year, right?
Europa Universalis IV: El Dorado Review
Mar 09, 2015
The fifth expansion to Europa Universalis IV comes El Dorado, an essential expansion. This is not a statement about how it should have been included in the original release, but rather, it adds so much to the game that you didn’t know you wanted. The new nations and nation designer become pleasant surprises that will demand so much of your time.
Homeworld Remastered Collection Review
Mar 06, 2015
Truth be told: I’ve never played Homeworld or Homeworld 2 before this review. Though I have played Relic’s games that have come after Homeworld, like the Company of Heroes series to the Dawn of War series. I had always heard great things about the Homeworld series, but there wasn’t any easy way to play them. Thanks to Gearbox Software acquiring the IP in 2013, that is no longer an issue. Now having played Homeworld and Homeworld 2, I’ve never played RTS’ so beautiful or well-crafted from 1999 and 2003, respectfully.
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty (PC) Review
Mar 05, 2015
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is a remastered Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey, with original developer Oddworld Inhabitants in collaboration with Just Add Water. This isn’t Just Add Water’s first Oddworld game, they updated Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath to Oddworld: Strangers Wrath HD in 2011. What this means, is that the game is tastefully recreated the way you would want it to be.
Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora Review
Mar 02, 2015
Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora is equal parts ambition and aversion, coexisting as a constant clash during your playtime. On one hand, Hot Tin Roof combines elements of popular genres that should be a winning combination, but developmental choices make it hard for you to enjoy the otherwise harmonious cohesion of a downright funny and unique noire story that is at the heart of this game.
NEO Scavenger Review
Feb 28, 2015
NEO Scavenger is a post-apocalyptic, turn-based RPG that takes place in and around the city of Detroit. The notion of waking up confused, starting over, and learning how to scavenge all over again in a new world is intriguing, and compelling. And this applies to playing the game, as each playthrough is a new experience, albeit a very frustrating one that holds it back from being enjoyed more than it could be.
Oblitus Review
Feb 27, 2015
Oblitus has got everything you’d expect to be enjoyable: an open world to explore, a story that unfolds through environmental details, engaging combat, and incredible boss fights. But in my time with Oblitus, it was met with nothing but disappointment, and a realization that maybe the game isn’t fully thought out.
