I’ve been attending PGF for a few years now, and every year it gets better. I’m referring to the quality of its presentation, of course, but also the range of games on display and the ideas put forward. While there are certainly wholly unique ideas […]

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is far from a bad expansion. If you completely smashed the content from the base game and wanted more, it can scratch that itch. With more powerful enemies, weapons to take them on, and a slew of new features […]

Hark! Do you sense it? That sweet, alluring scent of… Nostalgia? As a ’90s kid, I can actually say that I’m a ’90s kid. And like so many before me, I’m going to make the bold statement that things just aren’t as good now as […]

I have a real soft spot for Damsel, a game that feels as though it was made specifically to appeal to a fifteen year old version of myself. Platformer and Shoot ’em Up are two classic genres, and a mix of both feels like a […]

Before this interview, I’d seen Aura of Worlds around for quite awhile, and I’ve watched it change a lot in that time. A rogue-lite platformer with an immediately old-school appearance, with some excellent detail below the surface level, it’s a game that tugs on many […]

Monster Hunter Stories definitely isn’t as engaging or as action-oriented as its predecessors, but that doesn’t really seem to be its goal. There are definitely some obvious ideas not implemented into the game, for whatever reason, that might have made it more fun for players […]

I think that Pokkén Tournament is a solid game that languished in relative obscurity due to the failing status of the Wii U by the time it was released. Pokkén Tournament DX doesn’t really change anything from the original design, so based on that alone […]

When I first saw the leaks for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, my mind was immediately filled with images of Shadow the Hedgehog holding a gun. It seemed like an idea that just wasn’t going to work. Now that it’s here, however, I’m pleasantly surprised […]
