Fight’N Rage Review – Button Bashin’ Face Smashin’

When I was growing up, I was a huge fan of Beat 'em ups. I still am, there are just fewer outstanding ones coming out. Games like Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast and ever Spiderman & Venom: Maximum Carnage got rented from the local video store week after week. So when I first discovered Fight'N Rage, I had to have it. Fight'N Rage is developed by only one man, Sebastian Garcia of Sebas Game Dev in Uruguay. Fight'N Rage dropped onto PC Via steam on September 19th, 2017 and I immediately picked it up. Two years later, almost to the day, It was released on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch ported by Blitworks. Naturally, I had to have it again. I was thrilled when an opportunity to review Fight'N Rage on the Nintendo Switch came up. So without further delay, I need...

The Church in The Darkness is a game developed by Paranoid Productions and published by Fellow Traveller for the Playstation 4, PC, macOS, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Designed by Richard Rouse III, who previously had designed games such as The Suffering, the premise of The Church in the Darkness is based on Rouse's fascination with cults and also his desire to make an open narrative game in a world where many titles have a fixed narrative structure.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey – PC Review – Serious Monkey Business

When first I laid eyes on Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey I was incredibly excited. I saw the survival game I've always wanted to play, and it was coming from a Canadian developer as a bonus. Developed by Panache Digital Games in Montreal, and published by Private Division, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey was released on August 27th, 2019 for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games store. I will be playing on PC using an Xbox One controller for this review. The lead designer of the game, Patrice Désilets, created the hugely successful Assassin's Creed franchise. It's time to swing on in and see if the first game from Panache Digital Games can survive the jungle of the game industry. Gameplay Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a fairly complicated game. It is a single-...

Steel Division II PC Review – World War II Rolls Heavy Into Town

Steel Division II is the highly anticipated sequel to Steel Division: Normandy '44. A few months ago, I had the pleasure of trying out the Steel Division II beta test and let me tell you; I didn't think they were going to be able to improve the game. To my surprise, they sure did. If you haven't read my previous write-up Steel Division II by Eugen Systems is a real-time strategy game, set on the eastern front during World War II. It was released on June 20th, 2019 on Steam.

Project Nimbus: Complete Edition – Nintendo Switch Review – Mecha-fight!

Allow me to preface this review by saying that I am a huge fan of mecha, in both anime and video game form. For those of you who don't know what mecha are, they're giant robot battle suits. Examples include Gundams, Xenogears, Armored Cores, Battlemechs, etc. Sometimes they're very fast-moving, while others they're just huge bipedal tanks that shoot lasers. When given a chance to check out Project Nimbus: Complete Edition on the Nintendo Switch, I couldn't wait to get into it. Developed by GameCrafterTeam and published by GameTomo for PC and Mac first, then ported to Switch, Project Nimbus: Complete Edition promised high-speed mecha dogfighting. Let's dive in and find out how well it delivered. Gameplay Project Nimbus: Complete Edition is a high-speed aerial mecha combat game. Featu...

Anthem – A Game I Still Want to Love

When Anthem released back in February, I was looking forward to a lengthy relationship with a game that brought refreshing gameplay and a new IP to the table from a studio that was well-known for its deep and rich storytelling. I spent more time streaming Anthem than I had anything else in a long while and I thought for sure I had found my new home. Post-launch plans were in place by BioWare for future content to keep the game fresh and things were really looking like they were on track for an avid community for a while to come. This new, shiny treasure was going to be amazing! Sadly though, healthy infancy wasn’t in the cards for Anthem. Almost immediately after the game went live for the full launch, it was already drawing criticism for falling short of its massive potential. Play...

Warhammer: Chaosbane PC Review – Crushing the Chaos Hordes

After playing the beta in March of this year I was left wanting more as it was short and a snippet of sorts on what was to come. Then I was lucky enough to have access to the full version of the game just before it was released. Developed by Eko Software, Warhammer: Chaosbane will be on general sale on the 4th of June but people who had pre-ordered the game had early access on the 31st of May which will be available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Without revealing too many spoilers, let's not waste time and get smashing up those Chaos hordes once more. Gameplay The game has 2 modes: Story and Online. Unfortunately, at the time of testing, I was unable to get an online game. The one time I waited a decent amount of time, it found one but it was full. I will revisit this once...

Rage 2 PC Review – Welcome To The Wasteland

It's been eight years since the original Rage came out, and honestly until Rage 2 got announced I never thought there would be a follow-up. The original Rage was a fun game, albeit a bit short and linear. My interest was piqued, especially when I saw that Avalanche Studios was also attached to the project. They've had their fair share of experience making a fun post-apocalyptic open world with Mad Max (A game I thoroughly enjoyed). Co-developed by Avalanche Studios and id Software, and published by Bethesda, Rage 2 has high promise to be a good time. Let's jump in and find out how it is! Gameplay Stepping into the post-apocalyptic playground of Rage 2, you're immediately greeted by deranged half-mutant half-tech creations trying to kill you. They call themselves The Authority.
