Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from April 15, 2023) Shovel Knight is one of the finest examples of what I’d consider to be ‘the golden age of modern retro-style games,’ a period of time I’d loosely bound as being between the years of 2010 and 2015. These days you practically can’t even skip a loose Super Metroid cart…

Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon (PC/GOG)
(Review archived from February 20, 2023) One of the fun aspects of the Space Quest series thus far is that, is that the ongoing story transitions seamlessly from one game to the next. So rather than an episodic format, each game picks up from (more or less) where the previous one ended. It’s a nice…

She and The Light Bearer (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from February 12, 2023) She and the Light Bearer is a game with personality and heart, that much is clear. What we have here is a point and click adventure game with a gorgeous dreamy art style that serves well as backdrop for the creation myth fable it conveys. It’s a game that…

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from February 6, 2023) While everyone else was preparing for some other open world Harry Potter game, I opted to dip into the Pensieve and re-visit a much earlier iteration on the concept … Within reasonable margins, I don’t really believe in ‘guilty pleasures’. So long as you enjoy it, and it’s not actively harmful…

The Zork Anthology (PC/GOG)
(Review archived from January 30, 2019) In some ways it’s a bit unfortunate that text adventures fell out of favor as graphical processing became more and more advanced, and consequently (I would imagine) due to the idea that graphical adventure formats were more palatable ‘to the masses’. After all, even in the modern age, no…

Bioshock 2: Minerva’s Den (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from January 4, 2019) Although it’s been a few years since I played Bioshock 2, I had never completed this DLC expansion pack. But to call Minerva’s Den a mere ‘expansion pack’ is a bit of a disservice actually. What we have here is a full-fledged single player campaign with a nicely written…

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from November 21, 2018) Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time served to reboot the venerable Prince of Persia series following on the heels of Prince of Persia 3D which was the series’ first fully 3D title … albeit a rather poor game. Thankfully The Sands of Time provided a fresh start for…

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations: The Lost Archive (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from November 4, 2018) The Lost Archive has us assuming the role of Clay Kaczmarek who was the ill-fated predecessor of Desmond Miles in the Animus project. There’s not a whole lot of plot to be found in this expansion, but it’s here that we learn a little bit about the history of the enigmatic…

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier (PC/Steam)
(Review archived from October 31, 2018) Once you get deep into an episodic story, it gets a little bit hard to talk about without spoilers. I’m going to do my best to avoid that in this review, but do be aware that I’m talking about the fourth game (or fifth depending on how you count…
